Latex 5set resistance bands

I recently bought one of those power towers, you know, the apparatus that allows one to do pull-ups and dips. ( https://www.amazon.com/Weider-WEBE99712-Power-Tower/dp/B0098MAYNY/ref=cm_cr-mr-img ) As a younger man in my 20s & 30s, I had no problem cranking out set after set of 14-15 reps of chin-ups, pull-ups, and dips. Fast forward about 20 years, and I'm now in my mid-50s, and not only has my strength decreased, but my weight has gone up about 40 lbs (255). I'm embarrassed to admit I can't complete one full-range, unassisted pull-up or dip. I can do about 5-6 half-reps, but that's about it. So I took a chance on one of these bands (the green one), and hoped they would support my weight and do what they claimed. Damn glad I did! At first, it was a bit awkward getting my foot or knee into the band, but that quickly became easier. My first workout with this band, I was able to complete NINE full reps of pull-ups, and TEN full reps of dips, and got a great pump! It felt like I'd found the fountain of youth! LOL As of this writing, I have used them for six workouts so far, and my reps have increased by a couple and I'm now getting even more out of each exercise. Eventually I may purchase another band as my strength level increases. But for now, this $22 investment is well worth every penny. Highly recommended! EDIT: Since then, my reps have increased to around 15 each for both chins & dips, so I also recently purchased the purple one. This one provides less resistance than the green one, so it's akin to upping the weight on a barbell and progressing from there. Who knows...maybe someday I'll become strong enough to get an even lower-resistance band! Love this product!

I’ve had this since 2018 now and it’s showing no signs of wear or age. I had babies and didn’t use it for long time and it’s sat in my garage. No dry rotting or anything! Definitely been a great purchase! I came looking for a lighter one to decrease weight because I can do a few pull ups now! 🥰

I bought Power Guidance bands a couple years ago after reviewing many similar products. These sounded like high quality from a good manufacturer. Rounding back two years later, these were a great buy, well worth the money! I wanted them for some shoulder ROM work as well as for adding resistance to my push-up workouts. They worked great for those (and any other type of resistance band work). I (and my older teen) have used these 2-3x a week for the past two years and they've held up. I also take a couple with me when traveling for business or vacation - very convenient. I'd highly recommend. I was hoping to get two years of good use out of them but seems like they'll retain their resistance and durability much longer.

These resistance bands are strong, durable, and come in a great range of resistances. I use them both for pull-up assistance and full-body workouts. They don’t roll or snap, and the storage bag is a nice touch. Highly recommend for home workouts or gym use.

Although this a great tool I was hoping for a more accurate tension. I feel like companies possibly over embellish to weight tension to appeal to insecurities. I used tgis band when it came yesterday along with 55lb dumbbells and got 9r for my first set/3x total. Thw 3rd and final set I was fatigued and coupd only manage to get full reps - however when I set the 55lb db's down I realized that the tension with the band was great enough to perform another 5-6r with only the band; a band only drop-set from combined 55lb db's w/Blue Band [65-175lb reported tension]. I have to admit that the weight/tension claim seemed near spot on post pre-fatigue. Last week with this combo using the 50-125lb green band tension plus 55lb db's my reps were around 20r sets. I was able to test the band comparison a little further using a barbell [Amazon recommended standard barbell w/quick-clips]: TRX plus hanging bar, handles 18" off the ground: -BW currently 215lbs @75% equals around 160lbs Plus Green Power Guidance Band = 4 reps post db work as described -BW @160lbs[75% angle or syn] plus Green Band = 9-10r So in each case I could achieve double the reps with the Green Medium to High tension band as compared to the Blue High Tension Band. I just bought a pair of gloves as the band [especially thinner ones] tend to cut into the hands. The 55lb dumbbells as well as 215lb bw anchor the stability of the cutting dynamic thereby minimizing interference due to pain. I just thought this might be helpful to someone somewhere out there. Comparing the bands, combinations, methods and personal experience. Cheers

These are great. I own three of these and keep them all in my gym bag. They work exactly as I intend, and I have never had any of them rip, tear, split, or snap on me. The build quality does seem top notch.

Ordered a blue band, the strongest, and it is indeed very strong. Some workout bands are very thin and stretchy and I want to point out these are not at all like those (I don't like those much, they snap). Think of a rubber band scaled up and that's these - the thickness is comparable to how thick a rubberband is for its size, so how it stretches is very similar also. The down side to that is that it gets exponentially harder to stretch this as you go, so I'd say about 1ft - 2ft is about all the stretch you'll get out of this before it just becomes almost solid feeling. Limits what you can do with it as far as standing exercises go, and if you're tall you might find it hard to use for pull-ups. Overall I'd give it 4-5 stars for being exactly what it advertises, HOWEVER the one I received appears to have been used significantly before it was sent to me! See the picture - there were obvious wear marks where someone had stood on the band and used it even though it was "new". So I took off a few stars, debating if it's worth the trouble to return it for a new one. My only worry is really that the previous user did something that would weaken the band in the long-term. EDIT 07-20-17: Just a quick update, the company contacted me via email and sent a new replacement directly, no need to go through Amazon returns. They didn't even ask me to send back the first band and sent an extra one! Looks like they really hold themselves up to that 100% Satisfaction guarantee! I've often had good service on Amazon but the extremely prompt e-mail replies and quick shipping reminds me of the early days of Amazon! Highly recommend. (My customer service rep was Andrew H., thanks Andrew!)

I purchased this to use primarily for pull-up assistance on the bar. I wanted to improve form and increase stamina for multiple sets, and it’s been terrific for both. Since then I’ve also used it for assistance on dips, for tricep pull downs, curls, and also on vacation for a variety of resistance movements. It doesn’t shine as much in that regard, if you were to use this instead of trx bands or similar. But it also doesn’t boast to. I’ve been using it for the past year and have found it very durable - I’m 215 and it supports me no problem. My kids also love to bounce around and swing on it. All in all this is a great purchase at a great price point. I plan to purchase another at a lower tension to continue progressing.

Dieses Band hier İst viel zu stark hab mich voll überschätzt. Nur zu Orientierung Bankdrücken schaffe ich 120kg 1 Wiederholung.

Je l’utilise pour du renforcement musculaire. Après plus d’une semaine d’utilisation quotidienne j’en suis très satisfait. Semble robuste dans le temps. Permet de faire pas mal d’exercices sur tous les groupes musculaires.

Extremely stretchy, durable with appropriate resistance but I didn't receive the carry bag and manual. I've been using it for pull-up assists and bicep curls. It gets the job done unlike the cheap bands which either loose their resistance or tear apart. I'll update the review as time goes by

These straps are great! Originally bought them for use with a pull-up bar, but they’re incredibly versatile and now using them for a whole range of isolation exercises as well. Quality is excellent and easy to combine to get a whole range of assistance and/or resistance. Never thought I needed them before and now they’re some of my favourite equipment to use. Strongly recommended.
