Resistance Bands, 15 Items Train Elastic Bands Set, 20lbs to 40lbs Resistance Tubes with Heavy Responsibility Protecting Nylon Sleeves Anti-Snap for Health SUPALAK

A long month of trying resistance bands
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.

Good for my use as a true couch potato
I bought this set as well as 2 more sets from different stores on Amazon. I am by far a pro or even intermediate gym goer. I bought this to try and help get my body toned and strength restored before hitting the gym and looking so out of breath it was embarrassing.For my use as a novice/beginner it is fine. I did knock it a star because the handles are a little large for me to comfortably use without thinking if it is going to slip out of my hand when I stretch it out during certain exercises. However, I will try gloves to see if this helps. I did use this set for 10 days before writing this review to give the items a fair review.The ankle cuffs could have more cushion inside, but that isn’t a make or break deal for me. The manual is just okay, nothing special. I did find videos on YouTube so that helped out.The fabric covering the bands themselves is nice, but could be either thicker or a better, higher quality material. The red straps seen in the photos could also be thicker and the D metal loops are a tad lightweight. However, this does not mean that this set isn’t effective for people like me who are getting back into being toned and have more strength. Being 52 I need to get into better condition and this is perfect for me. I find myself actually using it while I watch tv which for me is a huge plus!Overall, for me, as a complete beginner and using this while I watch TV, it is perfect for me. Someone who has been working out for years may not say the same thing, but that’s due to them knowing what equipment or tools may be better suited for them.This review is all mine. I was not paid or compensated for my honest review. I am not affiliated with Amazon, the seller, or any affiliation to anyone in that faculty. This review is my honest opinion of the product and the use I use it for and nothing more. It is also to give other potential buyers what I have found while using this.
