The first time I used these i had a very jerky motion. After about a week once your body adapts it works nice and smooth. I love the fact if you suddenly got lazy like me you can unhook 2 of these bands to make a nice start up recovery then gradually fasten them for more tension. I had a great 2 week montage then the roku remote has been my primary work out these days lol. I do recommend these though. I was a heavy lifter for decades back when I had more energy and owned allot of equipment. These are awsome for resistance push ups and you can bring them anywhere. Very cool item. Read more
This thing is great. There are the other band systems out there that cost hundreds. This was less than $50 and I use it throughout the day at work. It's hard to keep a bunch of steel in my office but a band system like this works well. Get the heaviest you can. They're just a few bucks apart in price. You can unhook some bands to lighten the tension. All three bands on the 160 are much harder than 160. Buy it. Read more
By using this product to do upper body workout, it gives you great resistance when you do the workouts. It comes with a travel bag so you can take to do the exercises wherever you go on the move, office ect. Not to hard to change the resistance you need for your preference. You can actually add more equipment and do more exercises with getting more pieces from Amazon which I may do later. So Good quality and the price wasn't bad. Read more
As an aging 25 yr powerlifter now at the age of 71, this item allows me to slowly back away from using the Olympic bar, but maintaining strength using the 3 stretch bands. I actually purchased a second black set for more weight. I can now sit in a chair watching Tv while simulating a bench press. Lay on the floor and do a floor press. The provided bar allows for shoulder presses both front and back. Back workouts also. All this and the equipment fits in a backpack for travel. Tremendous Read more
Really does emulate bench well, it goes under your arms accross your lats guys, not on your shoulders I prefer to use a very thick bar with it and just slip it through the holes Read more
Hand grips need to be hard plastic. It causes an unstable grip during the push. This is a big one. Second. The back pad needs to extend. I believe the pad is plenty big, but for a 6 foot 225 male with pretty wide shoulders and back. It’s to small. That would be nice. So there looks like there is a bar you can purchase for 27 dollars, but I happened to have a steel 24”x1” metal pipe I purchased from Home Depot that works wonders, and I am sure it is built much better than the bar they sell and it was half the price. Good luck Read more
Works great I love it Read more
I travel for work, constantly in and out of hotels, this thing is great. When wrapped around my lower back for push-ups, I'm actually fairly close to my bench max in reps. The bicep and tricep workout I get from this thing is nearly dumbell quality. I have to be a little creative about how I isolate each muscle, but it beats the heck out of lugging weights around when I'm on the go! My only complaint is I'd like to see the protective strap extend a little wider over the elastics, as they get a little pinchy on my shoulders sometimes. Otherwise, great product! Read more
