Serious Steel 41" Assisted Pull-up Band, Heavy Duty Resistance Band Sets, Stretching, Powerlifting, Resistance Training and Pull Up Assistance Bands

I'm very happy with this set of 6 resistance/power bands. I purchased them to use for warming up, working smaller muscles, and for increasing mobility in my shoulder after an injury. The orange and purple bands are really good for stretching, warmup before weight lifting, and rehab/mobility work. I think those bands are essential and get used the most, especially the orange band. The red and blue are good if you want to push things further after warming up on the orange and purple. The green and especially the black are very thick, so you can't do as many exercises with them, but they seem to work well to reduce your body weight when doing pullups or dips or for excercises where the thickness of the band does not interfere with the movement. The thick bands can provide a pretty challenging workout, similar to using weights. You will easily be dripping sweat after a good workout with these. Keep in mind that there are other styles of bands like mini ones that you put around your thighs (very popular with women), round ones with handles, or even ones that clamp onto a barbell. Watch some youtube videos on resistance bands and make sure this is the style you need for your workouts.There's also some negatives, but it pertains mostly to this entire class of product. Being made of latex rubber, these bands do not feel good when they rub over your skin especially if there's hair, so you have to find ways to do the exercises without the bands rubbing against yourself. They also have a smell to them. You will smell like latex after you touch them and so will the room. I suspect the smell will not go away, but they are a little less bad now then on day 1. They also came lightly dusted in some kind of white powder. I didn't want it all over me, so I washed/wiped it off.Also, I was a little worried that I would get a reaction to the latex, which I do sometimes, but I haven't so far and these are supposed to have most of the protein purified out.

Have two of the full sets of 6 and a few other bands, 16 in total. My recent order had a few problems, but the company quickly responded and sent me two replacements at no charge. They also quickly answered my other questions in the past. One of the concerns with these bands is peeling. It took over a year for one of my bands to peel and it was from trying to hook it on my shoulder too hard for squats. The company recommends cutting off the peeling spot with scissors after it reaches about 3 inches. In my experience they hold up well and work great. No reason to hesitate ordering, because the company will take care of you anyway.

There are a number of high quality 'name brand' resistance bands on the market, but our purchase was due personal preference after seeing how they have held up at our fitness club which led us to by a complete set for home use. Well worth the money especially those who want a portable workout product that you can do various exercises with in a short period of time.

I think these are well made and think they can be trusted for pulls when attached to door anchors. Slight odor when you first open the wrapping, but dissipates in a day or so. Great way to add extra resistance to dumb/barbell lifts. Would be great for pull-up assistance, too. Comparable to what Rogue Fitness sells in terms of quality. Seems to be made to last for quite awhile as long as they aren't pinched or accidentally sliced.

Pros:-I own the purple and red resistances and the quality is great-I use the purple resistance for my novice and intermediate clients, and the red one for advanced/strong clients-durable; I work at a physical therapy clinic where they see a lot of use between patients and my personal clients and show no signs of wearing downSome exercise Ideas:-tricep presses, overhead presses, rotational exercises, anti-rotation exercises (such as the Pallof Press), resisted runs, resisted pullups, resisted bear crawls, resisted squats (if you have pairs)

I really agonized over what brand to buy, and in terms of what was available on Amazon I picked this. To give you a feel for strength level of the bands, this allows me to do a set of 12 pull ups followed after a 1 minute break, then a set of 12 chin ups if I am using all bands together. without bands I can do 0 pulls ups or curl ups, but about 20 normal pushups without having to take a break.I cannot speak in terms of how well they last in general because I have only had them for a short time, but so far so good! I must say that it is really motivating to finally be able to do a pull up, even with bands.You can also use them as an assistance for pushup training if you already have a pull up bar. If you are not sure how exactly, do a quick google search on it and you will find images of it.

Great product! I bought these specifically to help me develop my ability to do multiple pull-ups. I started unable to do any unassisted pull-ups, and my goal is to be able to do multiple sets of 5. Too early to report my progress, but the product works great. I bought the set of 4, figuring that for my purpose the lightest and the heaviest bands would not be needed. I was correct. Can't wait to see my progress using these bands.

I use these as bands on my power rack to do band squats. They work great. I’m also going to try them for some other uses. I’ve done shoulder mobility stuff with them as well. I expect these to be the last bands I have to buy

I LOVE THESE! I started using the green band at the gym with my personal trainer and I found these online and had to purchase them! For refrence I am a 5 foot 5 woman and weight 135lbs. I mainly use these at home with my pull up bar! The green one is perfect for people starting out! You simply put it over your pull up bar and stretch it down to slip your feet into it (it will NOT snap dont worry!) Then start your pull-ups! Youd be suprised how quickly you'll progress using these! I also use the green band to do Facial stretches, and boy do they help with the depth of my squats! I use them to loosen up my hips, ankles, stretch my lats, chest and ham strings. They are a piece of equiptment everyone should have in their personal gym or to bring to the gym!**SIDE NOTE: when I opened the package these came in it smelled pretty bad! I dont know how to describe the smell but it wasnt great and it went away after a few days of being out**

This is great for more than just chin ups and pull ups, it can be used for a number of different workout exercises. Delivered in perfect condition, and seller was quick and polite when responding to my question regarding the product.

I've used them a lot and done some fairly rigorous things with them, and they are very well constructed and sturdy.

Great quality bands.

great

Product exactly as describe, arrived on time and look tough.

Product was as described and was shipped much faster than originally quoted. For some reason the bands smell like candy...so I guess that's always a plus!
