SourceDIY (16 Pieces) Resistance Exercise Bands Set Men Elastic Fitness Accessory Workout Home Gym Exercise Equipment With Handle For Legs, Butt & Glutes Pull Up Multicolored

I purchased these bands due to the good feedback from Amazon.However upon opening the packet I notice that the bands all feel the same and are very flimsy. They are not solid bits of rubber like other examples I’ve seen online. They are hollow thin tubes.Also no instructions or how each piece works.To get any tolerance at all, all of the bands need to be used at the same time. And I can see the bands will break or perish quickly over time as they are cheaply manufactured.I’ll be sending these back to Amazon for a refund.

I'm really pleased with these. But its taken me around 3 weeks to really get comfortable with them.Other reviews are right, all 5 tubes feel like they have the same resistance (though my 9 yo son disagrees) and initially they don't feel like they have much resistance to them. There are no instructions, and looking at them they don't look that safe. You'll quickly clip all 5 together and use them as if they were a single tube, and that's a bit fiddly with 5 bands spilling about. One of my clips is a little out of shape out of the box and it is hard to get the band off and on with. The set did come with a door anchor, and also two velcro ankle/wrist straps which I haven't used. Thats the negatives out if the wayIts taken me some time to get the confidence with them that they won't snap. Now I can pull them tight and then take 2 or 3 steps backwards to really tighten the bands. They work best at the biggest stretch you can give them and in all honesty it takes a bit of bravery to trust them. Now, with them attached to a door frame, I can lean backwards as if I were sitting in a chair with them taking my bodyweight so I can perform a standing/seated row.It's also easy to change the resistance and length by stepping on them. Like anything it takes a few sessions to get the excercise right, but soon you'll learn you can bicep curl both arms with one foot in the middle, move your foot to 2/3 along the tube then you can move straight to a shoulder press, but only one arm at a time...you'll get to quickly alternate between exercises with the minimum of hassle.I spent some time on youtube (particularly anabolic aliens 5 minute resistance tube workouts) , Pinterest has loads of workout sheets and I also researched individual exercises (I couldn't work out how to do a lat pull down as the tubes were too long) - and it all slowly came together.It's not the same as lifting weights. I'm not pretending it is. But I believe these will help reduce losing muscle mass, and as you'll generally be performing higher sets and reps (because the resistance is like a lower weight) it's got a cardio element to it as well to, hopefully, help take the edge off that lockdown weight gain.

I was worried at first when ordering this as I didn’t know if it came with a door anchor or not however it was delivered faster than expected and did in fact come with the door anchor.It has made a great difference to change up my home workouts during the coronavirus pandemic. Hopefully they last for a while with the heavy use.

Held together with a cheep plastic tie, snapped the day I tried it! Luck I did not get hurt! Awaiting refund are legal action! Fake stay clear

Disappointing no instructions showing you having to fit these why there is no instructions included I will never know

Very disappointed as these had good write up however no instructions or advice included with the system.Had I know this I would not have bought this set.Trying to guess how to fit it up from the photos on Amazon is impossible.There should have been at least one sheet of instructions on how to put it all together!

Puzzled by some of the reviews but to be honest every resistance band seller seems to get the same. I think all the bands are being imported from probably China. Anyway I ordered mine after ordering some from another seller and after the order was shipped being told it was 2 months for delivery! These turned up on time thankfully within 4 days. Yes there are no instructions but come on, there's a million YouTube videos out there on how to use and there are plenty of pictures showing which colour gives you which resistance. The bands seem decent quality and there is plenty of resistance in mine. I'm using the black and blue together or black on its own depending on which workout I'm doing. Maybe I've got lucky and time will only tell on quality but they're doing a job for me.

Couple of things I would like to address here- These bands definitely have different resistance levels anyone who disagrees can try Side Shoulder Raises by hooking up Red and Yellow and then trying it with Black Green or Blue and you will know the difference, maybe people arent stretching it enough for the resistance to properly kick in.Yes it doesnt come with instructions but so doesnt dumbbells either but I will tell you a secret their are loads of workout videos on well known website.Yes these are the same Chinese product being sold on a certain bidding website and you will find loads of variants with different hooks but essentially the same product.Yes the pictures make it look like a top end product but so does the Big Mac on Mcdonalds menu but I dont see people complaining about it.For what it is and the price it is an amazing product and will be useful for anyone especially considering the alternative which is buying Dumbbells which you will need a mortgage for these days.
