ROSAPOAR Pull Up Resistance Bands Assist Exercise Workout Band Set for Fitness Strength Weightlifting and Powerlifting- Stretch Mobility Assistance Bands at Home Gym/Crossfit Training

I've now bought every type of resistance band Amazon sells (thanks, pandemic!). I started with the tube bands with the nylon covering. (The tube bands without the covering will degrade faster.) These work best if you have open space and a way to hook them to a door, tree, or post of some kind. They provide the least consistent resistance - fine on contraction but none on release.) I then bought ribbons which are the most versatile but you have to tie them together to make a loop. Kind of annoying to have to tie and untie them over and over again. Next - mini bands which are even better but less versatile than the ribbons. Finally, these bad boys which are really designed for the pros. (Check out YouTube videos by James Grage.) The heaviest band - you're never going to use it unless you're a 15 year old boy trying to make the football team. It's like trying to stretch a fan belt. But the lighter ones are easy enough for the aged who just want to beat back inevitable physical decline. But you really do need to cover your hands. No need to buy special gloves - any winter or gardening glove will do. My recommendation: don't start with these. Work up to them from ribbons and mini bands and skip the tube bands completely. They're all kind of pricey but they won't continue to charge you by the month after you've bought them like your gym membership.

In haste, I grabbed a set of the tube style resistance bands from another seller. Bad move. One of them popped within 24 hour of use, so I very quickly sent them back and purchased these loop style power resistance bands. Better in almost every way. They're like huge rubber bands but not made of rubber. I think it's some sort of silicone or something. All I know is that it's super durable and there's no way these are popping any time soon, especially the thickest one. Evens with a drawstring bag and little pamphlet with a few exercises you can do, but I just went on YouTube and found a ton of exercises. Left me sore and sweaty, and that's a good thing! Buy with confidence, as they say.

It's a solid product. It came with a new and unused set. I haven't been using it a lot though but I have used them ll a couple of times and do exactly the job I want it to do. Literally my only issue with this product is that this bag cant holds all of the resistance bands simultaneously (it's possible but you would have to waste time folding it individually) and that I may need to use baby powder for this because of the wearing of the coating layer.This is probably the best resistance band you can get on Amazon that is also affordable compared to its contemporaries. I'll comment again if something bad happens to it but I am very happy with this purchase.The reason why its a 4 star is because I deem 5 stars going beyond my expectations. This product delivered exactly what was promised so it gets a 4.

Honestly, I was pretty skeptical about these, since I'm used to pushing weight in a gym. But the virus has made that impossible for me, so I decided to give this a shot.Using a push-up bar, and combining push-ups with the bands creates incredible resistance, that is progressive, instead of static like regular weights. I didn't consider this, but this is a big bonus. When you finally lock out that rep, boy do you feel it.My pectoral muscles are sore for 3 to 4 days after my weekly lift, as opposed to only one or two days from weights. Definitely putting on mass.I found an aluminum pole in the garage, left over from stage lighting, that makes bench pressing, rows, military press even more realistic, though again it's progressive, so you really feel it at the top of the rep.I still do some work with dumbells for chest. For quads and hamstrings, split squats with dumbbells, as I haven't figured out how to make the bands work for that.For traps, biceps, deltoids, glutes, calves, I'm getting incredible burn in addition to continuing to build mass with these crazy resistance bands. Very happy I acquired these.

Worth it! Ordering a second set.
