does the trick like it much

Now, the product itself is fine and I'll re-iterate that towards the end of this 'review', but the listed resistances are still nonsensical and it's impossible to point that out by posting a question. I only got answered and told it's "simple, right?" Well, sure... Dividing 5 tubes by the max resistance is simple, but only leaves ya scratching your head in this case, question 'solver'.. lolI get that you can just divide the proposed/listed max resistance by the number of tubes, as was answered in a posted question. Sure. Simple enough. I know I'm not that dull, and got that vibe from your reply. But if each individual tube is 52.8 lbs (264 lbs divided by 5 tubes) how is the 1st tier 143 lbs? There's no logical way that any of these numbers add up.Yeah, it's "easy" to figure out the individual tube strength by dividing the # of tubes by the listed max resistance, what you actually figure out is that it makes no numerical sense and that the company probably should figure out two things; The actual resistance of each individual tube, and then what the FIVE tiers of resistance based on adding each individual tube to the handles would be.Maybe my line of thinking is faulty? If there are 5 tubes that can be added or removed, and you basically either pull all 5 straight out of the package or remove as many as necessary leaving you with 1-4 tubes... Then yes, logic would dictate that in reality there are 5 tiers. More importantly, if the tubes all look the same and are all the same resistance, then there's no way there can only be 4 tiers when the 1st tier is as much resistance as like 3 of the 5 tubes and then the other 3 tiers are all like 20-25 lb increases...... ? You only have 2 tubes and there are 3 more tiers. lol. The listing basically implies that each individual tube is not the same, in some cases by a drastic amount of poundage, yet we know/they are marketed and designed to look as though they are all the same resistance.If 264%5 = 52.8 lbs of resistance for each tube... Then the resistances would be 52.8, 105.6, 158.4, 211.2, 264. Nothing like the resistances listed, other than the 'max' resistance which I divided the 5 tubes by to get 52.8 with a darn calculator - So there's no fudging up the numbers based on (potentially/ relatively) poor mathematical skills.Other than the resistances being completely wrong and not making mathematic sense... Seems to be a great accessory piece for getting in upper back/rear delt volume to help with strength/size. Especially without having to tire out your lower back or pull your entire body up in a pull up (I have no problem doing that, but hard to bang out 100+ pull ups a day when you're trying to heal elbow tendonitis that you've trained through for awhile and allowed to get pretty bad!) Could only bang out reps with 2 tubes right out of the package. But it didn't seem to put much pressure if any on my elbows as long as I was doing it slow and controlled and trying to pull apart with my upper back rather than my arms.I'm a pain in the ass and this was too blatant for me to let go, so I posted this mostly to point out the inconsistencies. Figure out the darn resistance of one individual tube and then list them correctly as FIVE tiers, Ueasy. lol.EDIT: Since ordering this, I can basically do a bunch of sets of 5 with 4 bands inserted with high-moderate effort. I have never really trained my upper back/rear delts, so this definitely has helped me see some further development in those areas over the last 3 months or so. I just did about 50 reps today with the 4 bands, and even if I'm still developing strength with this movement it's definitely a good workout for the delts if not the traps/middle back to supplement pull ups and barbell rows (I hate doing deadlifts, I know, I'm a jerk).. But high rep work with this will certainly help to add work volume to your weekly upper back training and it can be done during breaks while using the computer.Cannot stress that it was a great investment and even now trying to do a pull apart with the bands maxed out is quite difficult. I feel like 4 to 5 bands is a bigger leap than 3 to 4 might have been, but maybe it's because I tried it today while my arms/back/shoulders are all fatigued from previous exercises throughout the week ON TOP of working out earlier before trying it again. Haven't spent much time using 4 bands, probably just need a month or two of adjusting to the resistance before using all of the bands at once. I think that my rear delts have definitely blown up a bit, definitely noticed some growth/thickening in that area.

Very good quality. The cabs holding the bands in place was difficult to remove so I just left it off afterward seems like very good. Quality has lasted for at least a year now I wish the handles were a little larger to be able to get your foot inside one for doing vertical exercises.

Comfortable handles, easy-to-add or remove bands

Despite the poor instructions I finally found a way to take the covers on the handles and remove some of the rubber cords. Five were too many for me to use in my present condition. Based on a personal experiences from years ago, I caution anyone about using the bands without first stretching in order to reduce the risk of injuring the tendons in your shoulders or elbows. That risk increases the more bands you use. I injured the tendons in my right shoulder using five bands without first stretching and it took a long time to recover. I tested this set by stretching one cord and doing several exercises that I learned as a teenager. The more I tested the more problems i found compared to two prior sets that I used. First the handles are not as comfortable to use as the former sets I had. Second two former exercises that I did regularly were almost impossible to do: This is because I could not adequately get a foot inserted to hold one handle on the floor while I bent my elbow and stretched the other handle up to my chest; old instructions showed to do one set of stretches with your palm up and the other set with the back of your hand up. There is not enough height in the handles to adequately insert a foot and use it to hold the handle down. The space in the handles is also reduced because the rubber band or bands stick part way into the open area where you can should be able to place your foot.A caution. If you are using two or more rubber bands do stretch exercises to reduce the risk of injuring a tendon in your elbows or shoulders. I once failed to stretch first before using five bands and severe pain hit my right shoulder. It too a long time of doing exercises with slow movements and using only one band before the pain was gone. One beneficial change has definitely been made over the years; The bands are now made of rubber rather than metal. If one breaks it will cause far less injury. Two notes; I have found stretch bands far easier to have and use than is the case with weights. I also prefer the design that has two handles; They enable me to do the types of exercise I learned years ago and to easily adjust the number of bands.

Although I started lifting weights in high school, I never used a chest expander, primarily because the springs were a real hazard with pinching. Now, decades later, these rubber tube expanders are on the market and remove the problem of pinching.This unit is pretty solid and the price was good. You can remove the bands to change the tension. The thing to remember is to balance the location, e.g. two tubes would be the top and bottom slots, for 3 tubes add one in the middle.I got this primarily as a light exercise for rotator cuffs and it is working fine. When I started, I had to drop it to two tubes. Over time, I have moved it up to 4 tubes.As I say, I got it because the spring ones were always a problem for me.The rubber tubes work for me.

It was as described

Light and easy to use and add or remove tubes. Good resistance and they seem durable. Great item so far.

Turned up early

使っています。２年前に脳卒中でひと月ほど寝たきりになりました。１ヶ月ほどして起き上がることができるようになったのですが、少し動いただけで肩で息をする始末になり、筋トレを始めました。当初は100均のゴムチューブもつらかったのですが、今ではこのエキスパンダーの黄色５本で頑張っています。筋肉量が少ない人は黄色から、そこそこある人はグレーから始めればいいでしょう。腹筋ローラーも使っているのでこのエキスパンダーだけの成果ではないかもしれませんが、肩周りの筋肉が増え、シャツがきつくなってきました。シャツを買い替える必要ができたのは嬉しい誤算です。中年になっても筋肉がついてくると、うれしいものですね。人前に出るときの気持ちが違います。なお、ゴムチューブはわりと簡単な構造でハンドルについているので、外れやすいです。外れたら、写真のように無理やり穴を通して結ぶとなんとか使えます。これが不満といえば不満ですが、他社のゴム製エキスパンダーはハンドル部分で切れたので、そもそもこの手のものはこんなものでしょう。ゴムチューブのものは何かあったら工夫して使うしかないです。金属製のエキスパンダーも持っています。安いのが魅力ですが、バネ１本の増減で負荷差が大きく、使う人、使う時期を選ぶと思います。今の私は２本はらくに開けるが、３本は全く無理です。とうぶん、私は使えません。

Good steel spring expanders are hard to come by these days so i took a chance on these. Had it for a few months and am very pleased with the way they function and the resistance they provide so far.Quite easy to add or remove resistance bands. Better to buy the Black expander as you have the hardest resistance one can use and reduce bands for lighter exercises.For the price these are very good.

選ぶなら断然120kgですよ、私は3本が丁度良い、ゴムは使ってるうちに劣化して切れますから、使わない2本は切れた時の予備にとって置けば良いのです。問題はこの80kg の商品取手の形状や留め方が120kgの商品と違ってますし、商品説明の写真とも異なってます。そこは通販なのでダメですよね。120kgの方はamazon の倉庫に在庫しているのか注文翌日には届き　80kg の方は中国本国から例のネズミ色のビニール袋に入って、何日か経ってから届きます。80kg の方は5本全部使ってちょうど良い負荷ですかね。120kgの3本使用より弱い負荷ですね。本当は右のwin.max のを４年間使っていていよいよ予備のゴムも使い切り今使ってるゴムも切れそうになってきたので買い直したかったのですが絶版となっているようで買えずこれを買いました。前買ったwin.max と120Kg が同じぐらいの負荷です。
