Serious Steel 41" Assisted Pull-up Band, Heavy Duty Resistance Band Sets, Stretching, Powerlifting, Resistance Training and Pull Up Assistance Bands

I'm blown away by the quality of these bands. I use a bar and step platform for my workouts as well as other resistance band workouts where I don't use platform and bar. I've tried Eakrola, SUNPOW, Undersun, and Iron Infidel bands. I think Iron Infidel comes close to these. But, the quality of these bands surpasses all the others. When I first used them, I realized right away these had more resistance than other brands. I immediately had to make changes and adjustments and go with lighter bands in my workouts because of the difference in resistance with these. This is one of those things where, you get what you pay for. You can keep buying $30-40 sets of resistance bands, but you'll have to keep buying them every 6 months to a year. Or, you can buy these and they'll last years I'm thinking. I'm very happy with my Serious Steel bands. Like others have mentioned, they do have an odor to them. I took mine out of the bags and let them air out for a few days before using them. After you air them out, you can store them in a bag or backpack. They don't come with a carrying bag or anything like that. You'll have to buy a separate bag or backpack for these. But, other than that, I'm very happy with the quality of these bands. They're for everyone ofcourse. But, if you're wanting to lift heavy, these will work just fine for you. Great quality resistance bands! 😁👍

A ton of resistance with these. Sometimes more than I want but they are great quality.

I've been using resistance tubes with handles and wanted to give flat-style loop bands a try. I've been using this set for almost two weeks. The first thing I noticed is the powdery substance on the bands as noted by other reviewers. That cleans easily with water and soap. These bands are strong and function well as either a single looped band, e.g., for bicep curls, or as doubled loop bands, e.g. for dead lifts. I do wear gloves when using these bands to help reduce pressure on my hands. I can vary the resistance I get the same way I do using a tube, by stepping back further from the anchor point or by widening my feet when I step on the band. I can also increase resistance by adding a second or third tube to my tube handle but using a combination of flat bands puts too much pressure on my hands. So, I found I can simple grab the flat band closer to the anchor or to my feet and get more resistance that way. Easy. Props for not having to spend time swapping out tubes to my tube handles. I do have some arthritis in my hands and do find it a bit difficult to grab both the bands and the tube handles. I also have a bar that I can loop the bands around to mimic the popular band/bar system I see advertised here and there. The bar seems to provide some more stability to my movement over both the tubes and the bands being used alone. Overall, I like these bands and my use them and the tubes together during a workout depending on what works best for me.

Great product, lousy company distributing. Did you know Amazon charges Prime members MORE for products AND charges you a monthly fee? You are a captive audience, and you're being used.

They look like good quality but stink really bad.

I'm very happy with this set of 6 resistance/power bands. I purchased them to use for warming up, working smaller muscles, and for increasing mobility in my shoulder after an injury. The orange and purple bands are really good for stretching, warmup before weight lifting, and rehab/mobility work. I think those bands are essential and get used the most, especially the orange band. The red and blue are good if you want to push things further after warming up on the orange and purple. The green and especially the black are very thick, so you can't do as many exercises with them, but they seem to work well to reduce your body weight when doing pullups or dips or for excercises where the thickness of the band does not interfere with the movement. The thick bands can provide a pretty challenging workout, similar to using weights. You will easily be dripping sweat after a good workout with these. Keep in mind that there are other styles of bands like mini ones that you put around your thighs (very popular with women), round ones with handles, or even ones that clamp onto a barbell. Watch some youtube videos on resistance bands and make sure this is the style you need for your workouts.There's also some negatives, but it pertains mostly to this entire class of product. Being made of latex rubber, these bands do not feel good when they rub over your skin especially if there's hair, so you have to find ways to do the exercises without the bands rubbing against yourself. They also have a smell to them. You will smell like latex after you touch them and so will the room. I suspect the smell will not go away, but they are a little less bad now then on day 1. They also came lightly dusted in some kind of white powder. I didn't want it all over me, so I washed/wiped it off.Also, I was a little worried that I would get a reaction to the latex, which I do sometimes, but I haven't so far and these are supposed to have most of the protein purified out.

Amazing, breathtaking, fantastic, beautiful, lovely and simply neat. These bands are awesome. Very strong and well-made. Highly recommended

These are not the cheapest bands by any stretch of the imagination but they do offer a solid value and are very good quality.I own a lot of resistance bands. Including bands from Rep, Rouge, and X3. These bans are equal in quality to my X3 and Rouge bands at a much more reasonable price. I liked them so much that I now own multiple sets in different lengths.
