Pull Up Assist Resistance Bands by Rubberbanditz | Heavy Duty Loop Exercise Workout Bands for Powerlifting, Mobility, and Stretching

Before buying this I had a problem, reading reviews it was hard to tell if this was right for me. A lot of people use them for assisted pull ups which is not my need. Also, when reviewing the product I wanted to know how strong people were to work out if it was right for me.I'm 210lbs, 6ft 1 and I mainly do powerlifting so I squat 190kg, deadlift 215kg and bench 125kg with 15 pull ups unnassisted so if you're over or under me this should hopefully be fairly helpful review for you to gauge your level.I took this solid band, well made but with a fairly strong, sweet rubbery odour on my holidays to perform a work out away from the gym, just all round maintenance work. I found that I could stand on it and do some fairly tough 10-20 reps single armed in the standing shoulder press with a good degree of resistance, I'd normally use a 25kg dumbell for those kind of reps so it's almost bang on being rated at 23kg. I could get a good pump out of bicep curls, sitting on the floor rows, upright rows, bench press, pull downs etc and for the rows, I just folded it in half to double on the strength. I may have got a better all round workout with the number 2 band as I'd be able to do more exercises and just do high reps on the big muscle group exercises.It did feel stronger than I expected it to be so I couldn't really do side raises or front raise shoulder work and for rotator cuff work, it's quite difficult for me outwith face pulls. I'll be purchasing the number 2 to help me with this type of work so bear that in mind, good for bigger muscle groups but quite challenging for the smaller ones. I'm going to order a second one to do band work in the power rack for squats and bench etc and I'll update my review when I've tested it for this use. I hope this helps someone who needs a strength comparison before buying.

excellent buy !! having recently purchased a pullup bar i didnt think i would struggle as much at wide grip chins as i frequently train my back with weights once a week but i did i could only manage 4 or 5 at maximum so i read a few reviews about these rubber bands and decided to take the plunge and buy one . And i am very glad i did i brought the purple one 18 - 36 kg resistance and it helped me do 3 sets of 10 hence a bit of a struggle but it blasted my lats and built them up nicely . Now im looking to get the next one down as my strength has built up nicely with this product . If your reading this and your still undecided just buy it and you'll thank me later .

I've been using this resistance band for strength training and I'm very happy with it. In particular I've used it for seated row exercises, standing twists (with the band anchored to a chin-up bar), lying leg curls (again anchored to a bar; great way to feel the hamstrings work hard) and just as importantly for stretches, especially for the large muscles of the quadriceps.To reduce the risk of injury caused by a band suddenly snapping, I do check all the way around the band for any sign of nicks or tears. I've been using the band a couple of times a week for several months and so far I've seen no sign of wear or tear.The only downside I can offer is that the latex material of the band does leave a strong odour on the hands for a few hours, even after washing a couple of times. However, it's not an unpleasant odour (though you might find that normally placid cats suddenly want to bite your hands).

This is a great way to work up to lat pull ups. I wrap it around the bar, put my foot in the other end and hey presto, I can do lat pull ups. When I started without this band, I couldn't do any pull ups. Now I can do 7 without it! That may not sound impressive but this band gets you over the initial hurdle. This is deffo the best fitness item I have purchased in years. Recommended for people who can't do lat pull ups!

I was pretty excited to be getting this as they look amazing and more interesting than your general resistance band/tube. Well it arrived very quickly and on inspection everything was spot on. I went for the number 3 thinking it probably won't be that strong, how wrong was I. It is strong and that means I can do such a challenging workout with it and not worry that it will snap mid flow. They come in at different levels and I am going to purchase the one below this also so I can use it on my clients and progress them to this one. I will never buy a resistance band/tube as a rubberbanditz is the way forward especially if you like getting creative with things.

Makes good form pull-ups possible and vastly increases the number of chin-ups you can do. I went from struggling to do a couple of poor form pull-ups to 5, now 10 good form without overexerting myself. Chin-ups are so much easier that you'll want to do more, say easily 400% more with this item. I wrap mine in a hook loop around the top bar of my power-bar door frame exercise bar. Not great against bare skin,

I ordered the #3 heavy Rubberbanditz, it's a fantastic product. I'm using it to help increase my reps for pull ups/chin ups by looping it round the bar and round my foot(it doesn't slip). It's really well made, I weigh 200lbs, I've used it once a week for the past 5 or so months and it looks just as good as the day I got it, no signs of it weakening or stretching more than it should.It's a bit more expensive than some of the other bands out there, but you get what you pay for- I'd rather not have something flimsy that breaks at the wrong time or that only lasts weeks.

Different size to my other Rubberbanditz band I wanted to match it up with :O

My favorite brand!

Perfect for assisting with various pull ups!

Muy buena sensación al hacer dominadas con esta banda. Ayuda lo justo y da sensación de seguridad. Recomendable si eres principiante

La résistance est bonne, néanmoins si au début vous avez des difficultés voire êtes incapable de faire 1 rép à des pull-up et des chin-up prenez le vert pour commencer.Comme je le dis en titre je n'en plus du tout besoin pour faire mes tractions il m'a beaucoup servi, il y a plein de tuto sur youtube pour s'en servir.Je m'en sers encore pour d'autres exercice notamment pour du butterfly ( attaché comme dans l'image, puis je repasse la partie inférieur sur les cotés de ma barre de tractions ) ou sinon je le mets sous mon pied lorsque je fais mes étirements et à chaque expiration il me tire naturellement vers l'avant.

Das Band entspricht völlig meinen Vorstellungen und unterstützt mich wie gewünscht minimal beim Klimmzüge machen. Ich schaff ohne derzeit nur 2-3. Wollte ein Band, dass mir nur sehr wenig Kraftaufwand abnimmt. Mit Band mach ich jetzt 5-6 und trainier somit meine Arme richtig mit, so wie ich es mir vorgestellt hab. Zur Info: ich wiege 52kg, mein Partner mit 75kg hat es auch schon benutzt.
