Setting Up Dopa Band

How to attach a Dopa Band everywhere

Before attaching Dopa, consider:

  • The recommended height for the anchor point should be at waist level, where you do most exercises.
  • Do not attach a Dopa band to a sharp-edged object.
  • Ensure both sides are even.

To connect your Dopa, it’s crucial to know the tying method. The same method applies for attaching Dopa to posts, trees, and doors. Watch the video to learn how

Here’s a written explanation for your convenience: 

  1. Create a loop by folding the Dopa in half.
  2. Wrap the looped side around and through the anchor point.
  3. Thread the free end through the loop you made.
  4. Make sure the sides are even. If not, the weight distribution will be uneven.
  5. Fix an uneven side before tightening.
  6. To secure the Dopa, tighten it to the anchor point.

Here are some instances of the tying method performed in various location:

Dopa Training Fundamentals

Learn the basic principles of Dopa training

  • Don’t stop between repetitions like people do at the gym. Dopa offers a functional approach to improving your physical fitness. Instead, maintain a consistent workout rhythm.
  • Don’t isolate muscles; engage your entire body to generate force in every movement, rather than isolating specific muscles. If your aim is to increase muscle mass, focus on specific muscle groups.
  • Don’t stop the workout, even when you feel like you can’t go on anymore. Instead, try reducing the resistance by moving closer to the anchor point. That’s how we significantly improve strength and endurance.
  • Dynamic resistance adjustment: While exercising, if you feel pulling Dopa is too easy, move farther away from the anchor point to create more resistance. If you feel that it is too hard, get closer to the anchor point.

Maintenance and Safety

Our laboratory experiments show minimal or negligible wear with our 99% silicone compound. We have bands over 5 years old that show no signs of deterioration.

How can you take care of your Dopa Band to extend its life and keep its shape?

The most crucial step in preventing your Dopa from snapping is to correctly attach it using our recommended tying method. The second most crucial step is not to attach Dopa to sharp-edged objects. Lastly, do not leave the band out in the sun for a long period of time.

That will ensure that the band won’t snap now or ever.

Watch the tying method on video.

How do I clean the Dopa band?

Dopa is water-resistant; feel free to wash it under the water. We don’t recommend scratching it with a rough surface, but instead with a smooth surface or simply with your hand.
