FitBeast Pull Up Bands Set, 5 Different Levels Resistance Band Pull Up for Calisthenics, Bodyweight Training, Muscle Toning, Yoga, Stretch Mobility, Pull Up Assistance Bands

After a break from lifting weights, I decided to try something different. Now in my early fifties, continuously progressively overloading takes its toll and from what I’ve seen as I researched the topic, bands are easier on the joints and follow more closely the strength curve of our muscles. And you don’t have to orient your body to work weights against gravity, bands work horizontally, at angles and even upside down.So as for these bands, firstly, they arrived faster than stated which I was pleased about, they appear to be good quality with the claim of a lifetime guarantee. Set up a login on the Fitbeast website and put in your unique code on the card provided to activate this. (It is a company based in China so I don’t know how serious they are about this guarantee). I don’t think there’s a full set of this type of quality resistance band at this price anywhere else in the UK.Superbly packaged and the door anchor is one of the better designs I’ve seen. And while the carry bag seems robust, the online videos and hand pads are a nice touch and are great for newbies, I probably won’t be using them. I’ll explain why…A downside of using the large loop style of resistance bands is the unique stress they put on your hands. Mostly on the outer edge from the base of the little finger to wrist and the inner edge between thumb and forefinger. The pressure here can cause your hands to give out before your muscles do and that’s why they supply the pads, but they have a flaw...A benefit of these bands is you can adjust the resistance minutely as you train. Not gonna make the full number of reps? Easy release a little of the band and you’ve effectively performed a ‘drop set’. Started out with too easy a resistance? Simple, grab a little nearer the anchor point. Now it’s harder. So much easier and quicker than stopping and adding plates or swapping dumbbells. But, trying to adjust the position and slide the hand pads along a band is an awkward and clumsy procedure.What we really need is gloves padded at the edge of the hands, where the bands exert pressure. And that’s where my idea comes in...If you look at my photos, you’ll see how I use my own, old inexpensive padded lifting straps, looped around the palm, positioning the pad and straps on the edge of the hands. Then sliding a lifting glove with a velcro fastening over the strap, giving me enough protection against the pressure from the bands to keep going through a workout.The only manufactured gloves I’ve seen with padding specifically for this type of bands are sold with a full set of bands and training programs for some $200. That’s where I got the idea for my DIY gloves - so check out the videos of James Grage online. He’s the unofficial guru of large loop style resistance band training with free full workout routines from a competitive physique/bodybuilder who gave up free weights and machines exclusively for bands.These bands will receive thorough usage over the next few years, if anything notable happens with them I will return and update this review.UPDATE: Since using bands exclusively for about a year, I did then incorporate free weights again. But as I'm older now, it's higher reps, lower weights, but still progressive overload and using bands to assist.I encourage everyone to regularly check all of their home gym equipment and that includes bands. Bands aren't like weight disks and bars, you have to be careful they don't catch on your other metal kit. As I was checking my bands before use, I noticed a flaw on the black one. It looked like a split was forming on the outer edge, fortunately I caught this early *because* I regularly check my home gym equipment.The seller immediately offered a refund (as we were in a pandemic and it was more expedient than sending another) with which I bought a replacement.Bands aren't indestructible, they can get caught on the plethora of metal in a home gym. Be aware of the condition of ALL your gym equipment.

These bands are high quality and a good price. I use these on a daily basis as a supplement to weight training and they do the job excellently.

Very strong, great workout tool

its a good resistance band, easy to pack small and bring it with me to the gym. Multiuse for different training. I just found it slightly loosen after Ive been using for a few month, but it still does the work.

Having dislocated my shoulder I was in need of bands for rehab.I’d outgrown my weak rubber thing I got from the physio and needed something to push and challenge my shoulder once again.These are perfect and being scalable have helped it to come on leans and bounds.

Good quality material, I used this for hamstring stretching and it’s very effective and gives good tension.

Great quality product from a seller who delivered super fast. Top skills

My son introduced me to these as a way of doing exercise without having to go to a gym. They are simple bands with various levels of 'pull' on them. You get five bands and the 'weights' are: 5-15lbs; 15-35lbs; 30-60lbs; 40-80lbs; 40-125lbs. I'm only on the 5-15lbs and that's tough enough for a feeble old man. These are great to do a whole range of exercises and the come with a simple exercise chart showing what can be done. Price is good and so was delivery.

büyük oranda bekleneni karşılıyor- pratik çözüm- muhakkak kullanılmalı

Neredeyse her kas gurubunu çalışıyorum özellikle kürek yerine geçen hareket . Direnci çok iyi ama amatörce bir düşünce ile. Tek problem neredeyse yapışmış olarak geliyor, açarken üstteki parlak kısım neredeyse yok oluyor. Bu zarar veriyor mu yada ne kadar zarar verebilir bilemiyorum şimdilik çok iyi görünüyor.

Ürün kaliteli Türkiye'deki dechaltoh ürününe bin basar koku vs yok on numara

Deze banden van fitbeast zijn van uitstekende kwaliteit. Je kan voelen dat het natuurlijk rubber is, omdat de rek lineair is een niet stopt. Ook is de lengte van de twee banden exact gelijk. Dit is heel fijn voor links en rechts oefeningen.

Çok memnunum..
