WOD Nation Pull Up Assistance Bands 10-175lbs Band - Best for Pullup Assist Chin Ups Resistance Bands Exercise

A positive review, with one questionable issue (at bottom) My 15yo daughter could not do a single pullup. She was too weak to do negatives, so I bought a WOD Red and Black bands. We wrapped them around the pull-up bar and back through themselves, so she can put her foot through them and help her get her chin over the bar. With one end wrapped around the bar and a foot on the band, it is easy to stretch these bands over 9’ in length. My kids were scared of them, but not as much after I showed them they did not break with me. I highly encourage you to buy a complete set. Spend the money, and take advantage of the 15% discount WOD offers. I tried to be smart, and only bought the RED (10-35#) and BLACK (30-60#), thinking that 95# would be enough. It isn’t. Using both the Red and Black bands simultaneously, my daughter still cannot complete a single pull-up. These bands are not rubber, but some sort of polymer. PROBLEM: I used the black band the day it arrived, and it was perfect. The next morning, I found it broken in two (two breaks) with both pieces on the floor. It looked like it snapped, with multiple shark tooth serrations on the corners near the break. Perhaps my young boys snapped it like a rubber band (they deny it), but the net result is it was defective. I emailed WOD Nation and they sent a replacement, free of charge, which has performed flawlessly. Since we don’t have enough ‘band’ yet, I tied the larger broken piece of black band together and we are using that as an additional assistance. It works, but is clearly defective, either from a snap, or chemically, as additional shark teeth have been forming. If you get a bad one, contact WOD Nation for a free replacement. Does anyone know whether this is an OE or Manufacturing defect? Still 5 stars. Daughter can barely do 5 pullups, with all three bands, and getting stronger. She also wears a life jacket (padding) and uses both the Red and Black bands while doing push-ups. Exercise is awesome. Read more

I am currently recovering from a major abdominal surgery. I am not yet released by my doctor to lift serious weight yet. My husband recommended I look into these bands to exercise with during this phase of my recovery. I was pleasantly surprised when I received them in the mail to see how thick and durable these are. And then, I took them to the gym and was further impressed. I feel resistance and localized "workout burn" I'm the muscle I am working. It does not overly stress my core muscles, and at the same time works on my core stabilization. I'm not breaking my limitations of not being able to "throw around weight", and get I'm getting a phenomenal workout. I've used these bands 3 times now and can say that once I gain strength and flexibility with this band, that I will be buying the next band size up. For those considering buying this product, I've attached a photo. On the left is the theraband my physical therapist have me to stretch with and workout with. On the right is my WOD Nation band. You'll notice the difference in thickness and quality. Definitely worth the investment. Thank you for making a quality product! Read more

I Love the WOD Nation red and black resistance bands. They're made of quality material and the resistance is perfect for me, especially the red one. The black resistance band is also very good, but it's much harder to stretch, so I'll use it for some other exercises! I enjoy using the red resistance band, because the length is just right for me, I'm 5'-10", and I don't have to attach any handles to them. I loop the Bodylactics small anywhere anchor to one end to put my hand through. It works really well for me, and it feels much more comfortable than grabbing on to the rubber. I also ordered the Purple Resistance Band from WOD Nation to assist my pull-ups, because I couldn't find the one at the gym the last time I went, so I decided to get my own. Only thing my gym bag is starting to get more stuff in it, LOL, because I also purchased the Black Mountain Resistance Bands. I love stretching, it feels good, and I think it's good for your body when you workout, or anytime for that matter. I got the ones that have clips attached to both ends. Good Stuff, very versatile, good quality, and affordable! Black Mountain Rocks! I hope this review is helpful. I recommend purchasing the resistance bands from WOD Nation, they're speed jump rope is good too, and their prices are very much affordable! Thankyou WOD Nation. Aloha!🌴🏄🏼 Read more

I got the purple band and the resistance level is exactly as described. The quality seems great, especially for the price. The materials seem very strong and resilient. The only thing that keeps it from being 5-star is the finish on the rubber. I wish it had the more powder dry, flat finish that most bands have. This one has a more shiny finish and is a more rubbery, tacky surface. It doesn't affect the function, but it's a personal preference. Still worth it for the price and quality. Read more

Very happy with my band. Read more

Very very unsafe!! 3 of them snapped! I am trying to get my money back. Extremely dangerous they look so big and sturdy they snap in half as you are using them. I was in the air and I weigh 97 lbs. my grandson weighed 60 pounds and his snapped. I stopped using these. Read more
