so i'm gonna order another mini band to use for banded bench...might upgrade to other bands later...

but is there like a formula or something to determine how much weight the band is adding at the top? like if i have to choke the band so i get tension on it right away from my starting point: like so many inches of band to bar = x amount of pounds starting....and x inches at the top = y pounds of tension?

and then basically how do i determine my starting weight...most likely doing 3-4 sets of five.
