Assuming you mean rubber bands to assist with Pull-ups, try the ones here: http://www.absoluteg...shop/bands.html (WFS).

If not, please elaborate more on what you are after.

I got Ironwoody bands shipped over from the states:

Got them mainly to help the missus with her pull ups. You can also buy these in the UK, London Kettlebells sell them http://www.londonket...ness-bands.html

You can get the ironwoody's at Strength Power Speed (WFS). Prices are comparable to the bands at absolute gold and are pretty similar in resistance/assistance levels.

I got my bands from here: http://www.absoluteg...shop/bands.html
Cheaper than Pullum and equivalent quality to the Iron Woody's.

Random - just as I read "jiggery pockery", someone in the next pen at work said "jiggery pockery"!
Sure, I'll bring around my bands next time - we must arrange some training soon. I have the blue, green and black ironwoody bands (think thats the small, medium and large in terms of strength). You can check levels of resistence etc on the ironwoody website.
