Resistace Band Platform

we've noticed that our blue bands have a significant difference in tension. the typical way we would use them for bench would be to have them looped twice around a 105-110lb db handle and then through itself to stay locked on. since the tension was significantly different we've resorted to our genius to design and build a platform that can accomodate and take into consideration that band tensions can vary.. and how they can be adjusted so that it is relatively the same. i really haven't seen such a platform/utility/tool for this, and wonder if anything exists. i haven't seen anything of the sort in PowerliftingUSA. i've heard that some people just use one band and wrap it under the bench. don't know about that method.

since we didn't have the fabricated product, we again resorted to our genius, then used a second set of dumbells and 10/25lb plates for spacers to adjust the tension. now this was done since yesterday's workout had to do with the green bands, which are pretty even to begin with... this will really be tested next week when we do actually have the blue bands in our training. until then the design is being written, and it will be fabricated and put to use.
