PSA: Resistance bands break down with time under their own weight
I didn't use my homegym for various reasons the last couple of months - today I noticed that all my bands that I kept hanging broke down right at the spot they were hanging from. I inspected the entire length of the bands and those were the only places they broke down. The rest of the length was perfectly usable (I had a workout with them and inspected them thorougly also stretched). Bands I stored lying were also perfectly fine.
I knew that keeping them tensioned makes them break down but I didn't know that this happens even just from their own weight when hanging on a hook.
Recommendation: Use daily so the hanging spot changes regularly and do not store hanging for a longer period of time.
Pretty crazy though. O.O
