Resistance Bands for Working Out, 300lbs/360lbs Heavy Exercise Bands with Handles, Workout Bands for Men, Weight Bands Set for Muscle Training, Strength, Slim, Yoga, Home Gym Equipment

On the days when I cannot make it to the gym, this helps me get at least a few reps in a few muscle groups. The resistance is excellent and adjustable. Functionality: it works well because it's hard at the end of the rep. The price is hard to beat. The weight going up to effectively 300lbs is fantastic. I've even added strength in a few tricky areas at the gym and work in my hips nicely.Another thing is that it allows me to get a few quick reps a second time during the day without leaving the house.

Background: We recently moved, so I had to sell most of my time-acquired gym and lifting equipment. We just don't have the footprint I need right now to continue using a power rack and free weights. I kept my kettlebell set (goes up to 88 lbs) and bands and was hoping I wouldn't lose too much muscle mass if I just kept up with those for now (Height 6'1", weight was 230 lb when max bench 300 lbs, squat 405 lb, deadlift 440 lb, strict overhead press 185 lb, but generally do work in sets of 5 and up to 20 reps depending on the workout cycle and my goals that cycle, to provide a reference).My previous bands were the connected loop ones, where individually, the largest one would provide somewhere between 80 - 160 lbs of resistance. They, unfortunately, had begun to dry rot and become unsafe. After seeing the reviews and Amazon recommendations, I purchased these, hoping that in combination with my kettlebell set, I'd be able to generate enough resistance to maintain at least most of my gains until I can find other alternatives. So, with that, I've been using these since purchasing them, and they are, unfortunately, not a good fit for me.I like that they appear durable.I don't like that I can't really test this durability and resistance very well; however, because each individual band is overly long, they will never really get their durability tested unless I only use them with door ankers or individually, double-wrapped about a post or something. That said, using them that way ends up generating too much tension at the maximum pull. Hence, they just end up pulling your whole body weight in the opposite direction during movements vs. you being able to maintain enough footing to continue to drive them forward efficiently.There is also a "how to use these effectively" guide that I saw it came with before I purchased it. I liked the idea of this and was looking forward to it because then I wouldn't have to put on a resistance-engineering hat in order to figure out how to invent banded workouts for these specific bands. Unfortunately, you do, though, because, again, the bands are so individually long that if you set up like is shown in the guide's examples, you can't actually do any of the exercises (no resistance)! If you try to add more bands, it either doesn't help at all (due to the length as well) or adds too much tension during parts of the exercise, as described in the previous paragraph.Finally, the nice and durable-looking handles and ankle/wrist straps don't work all that well with the overly long bands because they end up adding more length :-( I'm finding that when you try and rig something that will work to get you the tension you need, you then face issues with painful rubbing or wrist straight/comfort.I may look to return these bands and see if I can find some others that are half the length, as that seems like it would be a better fit for me, given the details above.Update: I greatly appreciate that the company reached out and offered me a refund for my trouble. Thank you. Since this product did not work out for me, specifically, The customer service here is beyond expectations.

Good quality bands, but if you are an average height man and think you are going to stand on these bands and do shoulder press, you might as well turn away now. However it’s good weight resistance.

Good enough for the price! The quality is good and you get different exercise options which is great! Good for beginner fitness levels!

Excellent and high quality resistance bands... for now, they are the VERY BEST that I have purchased. I will be purchasing an extra set to use when traveling... highly recommended. Thanks for making a GREAT product: the quality is obvious and it's appreciated.

These are a great to add to your workout great value

Well made and you get a lot for the price. Great for travel! Resistance exceeds what many other stock options offer

Awesome product! Very well made for how low the price is! Highly recommend
