Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I love that these straps have resistance ranges that clearly overlap so you can actually workout to muscle fatigue, and stagger down the bands to progress that fatigue until you can't move a muscle! The minute I got these I knew they were a cut above many of the sets of inferior bands I have had. However, you do need to be aware these are LATEX. With most of those cheap bands, I cannot tell if I am progressing or if the bands are just getting weak and losing tension. These retain their give but it also makes them less stretchy, if you break them, they pop back. In most circumstances if a human wants to break a latex band, they can. They are vulnerable to weather, cuts and tears. Latex is not meant to stretch infinitely. Check that your bands are good length for your height before doing overheads and such. If you are doing overheads and other high range motion, and you are tall or long limbed, loop one band to another. It helps A LOT to preserve your bands. Also, I heavily advise using dumbell or barbell grip expanders instead of handles. The handles add extra length, and the grips expanders add challenge to the reps and promote forearm growth and circulation. It approximates the advantage of using an olympic wide barbell or dumbbell. Finally, make sure you are not putting too much pressure on the little bones in your feet or hands with extreme resistance from bands.
