Resistance Bands, 15 Pieces Exercise Elastic Bands Set, 20lbs to 40lbs Resistance Tubes with Heavy Duty Protective Nylon Sleeves Anti-Snap for Fitness SUPALAK

So I bought two of these sets, and it provides a whole gym experience. To go with it, I also bought a barbell (designed for resistance bands) and a few carabiners, for quick changes and easy setup. With two sets, you get 20 lbs up to 260 lbs in 10 lbs increments, and also 300 lbs. The only issue I've found with the nylon jacket, which can get stuck and require you to straighten them out before you can do the exercise. If you forget to straighten them and test the band's full range of motion, then you might find you start your set and it just doesn't move. Although the number of exercises you can do with them are close to infinite, here are the ones I do with these bands specifically: Bent over rows: 2 bottom door anchors with 2 x 40 + 30 lbs bands (=140lbs), folded over, on handles Lat pulldown: 2 top door anchors with 2 x 40 + 30 lbs bands (=140lbs), folded over, on a barbell Front/rear squat: 2 x 25 + 20 lbs bands (=90 lbs) connected at each end to the barbell, stood in the center of the bands. Lower weight needed as you reach the maximum stretch of the bands as you stand up straight. Reverse hyperextension: 2 x bottom door anchors with 2 x 25 + 20 lbs bands (=90 lbs), folded, connected via ankle straps to my legs. Lateral raise: Single 40lbs band, NOT folded over (= 20lbs), with handles on each end, stood in the center, shoulder-width apart. Tricep pushdown: 2 x top door anchors with 2 x 25 + 20 lbs bands (=90 lbs), folded, on the bar. Fly crossovers: 2 x 30 lbs bands (=60lbs), attached to an object at shoulder height with the ankle straps (I use the safety rail of my balcony, on my knees), with handles. Seated row: 2 x bottom door anchors with 2 x 35 + 30 lbs bands (=130lbs), folded, on handles, in a seated position. Reverse fly: 2 x 20 lbs bands (=40lbs), attached to an object at shoulder height with the ankle straps (I use the safety rail of my balcony, on my knees), with handles. Bicep curl: 2 x bottom door anchors with 2 x 25 + 20 lbs bands (=90 lbs), folded, connected to the barbell Lying leg curl: 2 x bottom door anchors with 2 x 25 + 20 lbs bands (=90 lbs), folded, connected to my legs via ankle straps Although I do have other equipment for other exercises, as you can see, the range of exercises that can be done with these are huge, and it can easily form a large range of your workout routine with excellent room for progression. Regarding the latter point, if you want to know the range of progression possible with two sets, I've done all the working out for you, here you go: Two bands not folded over, or one band folded over: 20 lbs (9kg) (2 x 20 or 1 x 20) 25 lbs (11kg) (2 x 25 or 1 x 25) 30 lbs (13.6kg) (2 x 30 or 1 x 30) 35 lbs (16kg) (2 x 35 or 1 x 35) 40 lbs (18kg) (2 x 40 or 1 x 40) Doubled over two bands: 40 lbs (18kg) (20 + 20) 50 lbs (23kg) (25 + 25) 60 lbs (27kg) (30 + 30) 70 lbs (32kg) (35 + 35) 80 lbs (36kg) (40 + 40) 90 lbs (41kg) (2 x 25 + 20) 100 lbs (45kg) (2 x 30 + 20) 110 lbs (50kg) (2 x 35 + 20) 120 lbs (55kg) (2 x 40 + 20) 130 lbs (59kg) (2 x 35 + 30) 140 lbs (64kg) (2 x 40 + 30) 150 lbs (68kg) (2 x 30 + 25 + 20) 160 lbs (73kg) (2 x 35 + 25 + 20) 170 lbs (77kg) (2 x 40 + 25 + 20) 180 lbs (82kg) (2 x 40 + 30 + 20) 190 lbs (86kg) (2 x 40 + 35 + 20) 200 lbs (90kg) (2 x 40 + 35 + 25) 210 lbs (95kg) (2 x 40 + 35 + 30) 220 lbs (100kg) (2 x 35 + 30 + 25 + 20) 230 lbs (105kg) (2 x 40 + 30 + 25 + 20) 240 lbs (109kg) (2 x 40 + 35 + 25 + 20) 250 lbs (114kg) (2 x 40 + 35 + 30 + 20) 260 lbs (118kg) (2 x 40 + 35 + 30 + 25) 300 lbs (136kg) (2 x 40 + 35 + 30 + 25 + 20) Overall, for the range of progression and exercises possible, it's well worth $70 + $30 for a decent resistance band barbell.

Six months ago, I would have laughed at you if you told me I would be using resistance bands as my main resistance training. I have been using iron plates since I was 13, nearly 30 years ago. But I really have no reason to keep trying to get bigger. I gave in to the urge of trying resistance bands for the much more portable form and easier to put away when not in use. I've tried, own and have reviewed nearly all of the main resistance band systems on Amazon. I gave most a 4 or 5 star because they work and because the average person will be the one using them. After weeks after trying multiple band combinations, even a pulley system, I realized the majority of these bands aren't going to challenge me. I finally seemed to get a bar that could handle a lot of resistance used on it (The x bars) but then realized "where am I going to get enough bands for a lot of weight?" I tried the single bands that claimed to be 90 pounds and were really only 40-50 pounds. But throughout the hundreds of dollars spent and many eye rolls... I found this set as a solid, comfortable set for a good price. The problem I was having with the tubular bands was simple. It wasn't easy to stand on 5 tubular bands at one time while exercising. I did those tubular bands with a sleeve but it didn't help me that much. These bands I'm reviewing have a sleeve on their bands and it works much better than a tubular band with a sleeve attached. At least for me, I also workout with no shoes on so that could be some of the problem. The tubular bands aren't exactly comfortable to stand on. This set comes with a 40, 35, 30, 25 and 20 pound band (one of each). It has two handles (replicate dumbbell movements), two ankle/wrist straps and two door anchors. All are of equal or better quality than any I've reviewed and it's a solid amount of resistance even more someone stronger than average. Instead of investing a large amount in a bar, I went with the Bionic Bar (under 20 here on Amazon) and it's holding up fine. I kind of feel like this whole band movement is taking advantage of its own selling points. One of the best parts of using bands is you're not going to get crushed by a stack of iron plates. So, why does a bar need to be able to handle 800 pounds of pressure from bands? It doesn't. The highest amount of bands I've been able to put together are 450 pounds with 5 of the 90 pound Go Fit bands and it felt like 200-250. The Bionic Bar does everything I wanted it to do and this band set I'm reviewing when used it with it gives you a very solid 150 pound barbell curl. Get on your knees and you can mimic skullcrushers with 150 pounds to burn your triceps up. I wish I had started out with these cheaper options because it's really what I needed. I'm going to order a second pack of these bands. The Bionic Bar only seems comfortable with 5 or less bands. Having a second set will let me use two 40s, two 35s and a 30 for near 200 pounds. I will say that I liked the Bodylastics tubular bands the best of those type and would recommend those to anyone that doesn't need the heavier bands. Six month ago, I also wouldn't have ever guessed that it would take me this long to find a set that works with me but I have now.

UPDATED REVIEW (2020-11-02): My trainer recommended these to me. After about 10 sessions the black 40 pound band snapped despite no outer wear or damage. Since I could not return them or replace them via Amazon at that point I decided instead to write my original review (preserved below) describing the problem. Almost immediately after posting it I was contacted by a customer service representative who offered to replace the set at no additional cost. That process took less than a week, and so far I've had no problems with the new set. The customer service rep stayed in touch the whole time and made sure I was satisfied with the replacement. So I've updated this review from 2-stars to 4-stars in light of that interaction. I still think the sleeves around the band, while good for preventing rubbing and keeping bands untangled, do inhibit full range of motion and it's often difficult to locate a mid-point when using multiple bands where both will stretch equally in each direction. I'm of average build and hight, so your mileage may vary depending on if you are taller or shorter than average. Other than that, these have worked well for me now going on 24 sessions with them. They pack up easily and are easy to change the bands to increase or decrease the tension between exercises. ORIGINAL REVIEW: My trainer recommended these, but after only about 10 sessions the black (most resistant) band has already snapped despite no outer wear or damage. The sleeves are good for preventing rubbing I suppose, but they inhibit full range of motion.

I purchased this item, as I had a freak accident and wound up in extensive physical therapy for my leg. My home physical therapist brought this type of resistance band with her for one of my therapy sessions. She showed me some exercises to do with it, and left it with me for a week to try before I purchased them. It was perfect!! I was easily able to attach it to any door of my choosing, and able to work on all the various parts of my body. It has been a blesssing for my rehab, and I am extremely happy with this purchase. However, I didn't rate the durability, as I have only had these a short time. I am hoping that all 5 of these will last a long time, but I still feel it was well worth the money that I spent. It's amazing what exercises you can do with these. A lot easier than the regular strips of resistance bands for many of the exercises, but I still use the others for some upper body work. I do find that I am using the regular strip resistance bands a lot less now that I have these. I like the fact that there are 5 different weight strengths on these bands. To me, anyone wanting resistance bands, these are the way to go. They really have been working for me.

I’ve been a Fitness Professional & Coach for over 20 years. I’ve used the best and I’ve used the worst of equipment. These resistance bands are definitely a bargain. The bands themselves seem to be constructed fairly well. The protective sleeve will do what it was intended to do, however, the material feels a little cheap. I doubt it will have any effect on its purpose of protecting the user if the band snaps within. The handles, straps, and door anchors will do fine, however, they too are not made of the most durable or strongest materials. Will the break, doubtful, unless they are not treated properly. For the average fitness enthusiast, I think these bands would work wonderfully. For a trainer/coach, we’ll see how well they hold up with repetitive use on a daily basis with numerous clients. OVERALL: I am happy with my purchase as these bands are priced very fairly for what you get. I ordered 2 sets and will try to remember to update review after 6 months of use.

This is one of 3 different sets of bands we own (we actually bought 2 sets of these). These looked like a nice compliment to our existing sets (VPX and Crossover). These feel good when using them anchored to the wall. The cover is a nice touch that reminds me of the more expensive sets we already owned. The clips aren't beefy but are solid enough that I don't feel like they are bound to break. Using them strapped to the wall, they are a nice compliment to our Crossover setup. My oldest son is 6'2" and my younger boy is 5'6". The exercises in the book show an individual standing on the band to do over head motions. This is possible for my younger boy but not my older son. The straps are not long enough for the older boy. The bands have clips on both sides. If you wear ankle straps and clip to them, there is too much slack to do exercises (even for my taller boy). So they really don't work with the VPX style setup. That's a shame because that is a great system and these look the part. Overall, they work well enough that I didn't return them but they aren't a must have item. If you are looking to strap to a wall and do resistance exercises, I would recommend them for that application.

I'm using these for crossover symmetry training and they work great!!! I use the ankle strap as a rack strap and two types of bands. Wish I had two of the same types of bands, but needless to say these are very well built and sturdy and versatile set of bands. I gym it 5 to 6 days a week and do crossover symmetry as a warm up. It's a great way to work on the lower trap and balance out the shoulder placement so that it isn't hunched forward. Good posture which means, a strong lower trap, means no more shoulder pain. These bands fit perfect into my warm-up workout. Both ends have quick a release carabiner for ease of use and both ends appear to be firmly connected to the band and are shrink tubed at the end. Other brand bands I've seen have the carabiner held to the tube with a ring and knot, hmmm how much pulling can that take. i like what Weinas did here, looks and feels like it will last. I'm a medium size person and the handles fit me just fine with room to spare. All and all very versatile system. Two thumbs and tow big toes up!

I have been using these bands daily since 2019. Turned my wife onto them last week; today she overloaded one of them and broke it. I immediately ordered a whole new replacement set. These have a larger range of motion (longer stretch) than many, and the fabric that covers the bands protects them from nicks and obvious dirt I see on others. You can stack them if you want more than you get from a single band. I collect exercise equipment. These are the best bands you can buy. This not a paid review.

Bought them 2 years ago and use them almost every second day. They are standing up well. Worth the extra money for sure.

I received the resistance bands kit. All bits and pieces were there and are functional. I've used them a few times and all working good.

Excellent bands

Las bandas son de buena calidad, aun seguimos usándolas diariamente pero las asas no son resistentes, después de usarlas aproximadamente 3 meses las asas se reventaron, esto nos hace considerarlas peligrosas por el peso que se pone en ellas. La segunda fotografía muestra como las hemos compuesto para poder seguir usándolas y con esta modificación ahora funcionan muy bien.

just today i've received them, i gave it a try and their pretty nice, still i don't know the duration of the elastic bands, will do another review in a week or two regarding it. but they are worth the money spent on them.
