That’s not the way to buy resistance bands. Different muscle groups will be stronger or weaker than others and to properly train muscles, you need progressive resistance. Going from a 20 to 30 lb tension is a big jump.
For the price of what you mentioned, you can get a complete adjustable set of Bodylastics resistance bands like the ones shown above. You cannot buy them in stores, though. Click here to order Bodylastics bands online.
