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

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.

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.

Just got these and first impression is that they are very well made. After a quick light workout, noticed that it's very hard to locate the center on the bands as the sheath binds and hides the inner band making equal resistance alternating exercises difficult. Love the metal 'biners and D rings and they seem to be very well attached to the bands. One slight detraction, the door jambs are fabric... the bands slide and abrade against the nylon something fierce. Perhaps adding a plastic sleeve on the door jamb pieces would cut the abrasive sliding. These are a very well made product.and they reek of quality... the detraction's are so small as to not effect my decision to buy this. Money well spent...

I am really pleased at the quality of the product, considering its price. I have been using it every week for about 7 months now. The cloth sleeve is a great safety feature in case one of the rubber bands snaps (which has not happened fortunately). I also like the door frame anchors, which increase the number of exercises you can do. After receiving the product, one can send an email to the manufacturer, and they will send some files with some workout routines. Overall, an awesome deal!

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.

These are all fine and good.... unless you want to do an overhead shoulder press. They are TOO SHORT. The band was fully extended prior to my straightening my arms. I'm 5'5", so it's not like I'm super tall. They even show a guy doing the exercise in the little booklet that come with the set. I don't know how short he'd have to be to fully extend his arms overhead, but it's probably under 5'. Otherwise, it was nice to have two sets of handles and to have the covering over the bands for protection. Regardless, I'm sending them back because I can't do the exercise I really wanted to do.

First, because of COVID 19 it was delayed however, the seller was very transparent regarding where it was and what to expect. Although they offered a discount due to the shipment delay, I did not think would be fair to take it because it was unusual circumstances. They came on 21 May and I was like a child during the holidays opening up a gift. I was amazed at the quality. I was concerned about my safety using resistance bands breaking and hurting me however, the bands have a cover over them that offered me that assurance I would be safe if it broke. In addition, I was impressed with the resistance. At first I looked at the manual that came with it and was like hmm that's small ..then I read it and it was too the point and very informative. Don't get me wrong this won't replace my gym however, until COVID 19 has a cure this will be my goto! Although I overworked myself because I have been away from my gym for six weeks and concentrating on my gluts with squats and YouTube ideas, purchased a new bike and a gym mat. I'm back in the game and although I am below where I left off six weeks ago, I actually like the product better for muscle strength vice my gym however, having my dogs and working out is a challenge! Most of all the overall value for what I paid was well worth it!

The price of this set was more than fair. The set does include several needed accessories for different mounting scenarios. The tensions seem to meet their stated values. One thing I really appreciate with these exercise straps is the sleeve around the bands. Although I've never had one of the non-sleeved bands snap on me, but I know people who have, and this has always been a worry for me (i.e. getting tagged in the eye by a flying broken strap). Based on my experience so far, I'd definitely buy these again should the need arise.

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.
