Serious Steel Resistance Band for Assisted Pull-Ups

JessicaJessica: I started using these 6 weeks ago on my bench press. I was stuck at a plateau. I used these twice a week with progressive over load and after 6 weeks I am no longer stuck. I am amazed how much strength I’ve been able to gain in only 6 weeks. I am continuing to use these and have ordered the next level
Up.

Gen: These bands are highly versatile for stretching or workout assistance. I'm a huge fan of these for rotator cuffs in particular and they for sure help with injury prevention. Other uses include banded pullups or any other banded workout. Also versatile enough for at home workouts, simply adding resistance to a pushup can be useful.

Eric LauEric Lau: 開封の時、強い匂いがありました。バンドの上に白い粉と汚れもあって、時間かけて洗っても汚れが残っています。返品しようとしましたか、「使用感、傷・汚れあり 詳細：商品に使用感があるため。」の理由で拒絶されました。なんだそれ、届く時はもっと汚いなのに？最悪です。

SC: I have used these bands since 2015 and have had great luck with them. I like these bands much more than bands that have either an anchor point on the wall, or a handle to hold onto. The anchor and handle are weak points, and I've seen too many photos of people who got injured when their anchor detached, or a handle broke. With this type of band, just loop it around something solid, and you're good to go. Very little risk.

For the most part these bands last, too. I've had to replace a couple of the smaller, purple bands. Not because of any fault in construction, maybe I just used them more. The red, blue, and orange (mini) bands have held up really great, though -- and I've used them a LOT.

Try these out if you're looking to add bands into your workouts. They're a good price and they're well built.

Mark: The bands themselves are wonderful and should be very long lived - but I wish I'd seen the review about skin and eye irritation. About an hour after touching the things, and after washing my hands, I happened to rub my eyes and within a short time the irritation began - about on a par with cutting hot peppers and then rubbing eyes. The coating isn't immediately obvious, it comes off in use, and gets everywhere as well. Messy and irritating...

I'm not the only family member who has experienced this, neither of us has any reaction to latex apart from the coating on these bands. Also - I've other latex bands, and never had problems with them...

Your mileage may vary - but don't say I didn't warn you.
If you do happen to be latex sensitive, this could be a major problem.

Edit: I worked out the cleaning procedure below - takes 5 minutes and it solves the problem.
Raised review to 4 stars - I'd make it 5 if they included a warning and the cleaning procedure with the bands.

After a lot of research, trial and error - here's what to do about the coating on the bands:

Use only plain cool water for this - not any soap or detergent, these can damage...

Amazon Customer: I have the x3 bar but was nursing a shoulder injury so needed a lighter band. This fit the need perfectly!

Matthew: I've enjoyed using this resistance band a lot. I use it for so many different exercises and it is great! However, now that I am using it more often due to working out at home, it has begun ripping. I am honestly scared to keep using it now as I fear it will rip while I am using it and I'll injure myself.

adam fillier: Band lasted through a year of heavy use - used 5 days a week - excellent product - once the band started to deteriorate I contacted the seller and they shipped me brand new bands - I bought 2 orange, 2 purple, one blue and one black - great product and amazing service

AmazonCustomer99: The resistance band (purple) looks much bigger in the picture but actually is smaller. I have started using it and it seems ok as of now in terms of resistance it provides. The biggest let down is the rubber smell that comes from the band. I have another heavy duty resistance band from another vendor with me and it is much more better, doesn't smell and looks far superior than this one. I purchased this as I got this as recommendation from one of the popular Fitness YouTube channel.

I feel disappointed though as I paid almost 2000 rupees for this and got a sub-standard product.
