Applying a med band to your own elbow or shoulder sucks to do one-handed without the end slipping - even for those of us who Embrace the Suck. So we solved that problem.
We sewed an Anchor Loop onto one end of our Med Bands so that:
(1) If you’re wrapping your own elbow or shoulder to compress it - it’s way easier to do one-handed
(2) You can use the same band to stretch with - attach the Anchor Loop to your badass rig or a tree and get to work.
WHY - I got really bad elbow tendinitis from doing MURPH’s 100 pull-ups a few years ago. I went in cold and gutted it out — but pain, that old friend, became the great teacher. I followed my buddy Dr. Kelly Starrett’s protocols on The Ready State (floss and stretch) and it helped a lot. But one-handed wraps on standard med bands kept making me feel really dumb so we added an Anchor Loop. I’m still really dumb but at least we solved this problem! If you’re doing MURPH this year with the rest of us, use this hard. — Jason
PS this one is long enough that if you want, you can cut it with your Hattori Hanzo sword and then you'll have two (one classic style med band to go with your Anchor Loop Med Band).
