POWER GUIDANCE Pull Up Assist Bands - Stretch Resistance Band - Mobility Band - Powerlifting Bands - by Perfect for Body Stretching, Powerlifting, Resistance Training

I recently bought one of those power towers, you know, the apparatus that allows one to do pull-ups and dips. ( https://www.amazon.com/Weider-WEBE99712-Power-Tower/dp/B0098MAYNY/ref=cm_cr-mr-img )As a younger man in my 20s & 30s, I had no problem cranking out set after set of 14-15 reps of chin-ups, pull-ups, and dips. Fast forward about 20 years, and I'm now in my mid-50s, and not only has my strength decreased, but my weight has gone up about 40 lbs (255). I'm embarrassed to admit I can't complete one full-range, unassisted pull-up or dip. I can do about 5-6 half-reps, but that's about it. So I took a chance on one of these bands (the green one), and hoped they would support my weight and do what they claimed.Damn glad I did! At first, it was a bit awkward getting my foot or knee into the band, but that quickly became easier. My first workout with this band, I was able to complete NINE full reps of pull-ups, and TEN full reps of dips, and got a great pump! It felt like I'd found the fountain of youth! LOLAs of this writing, I have used them for six workouts so far, and my reps have increased by a couple and I'm now getting even more out of each exercise. Eventually I may purchase another band as my strength level increases. But for now, this $22 investment is well worth every penny. Highly recommended!EDIT: Since then, my reps have increased to around 15 each for both chins & dips, so I also recently purchased the purple one. This one provides less resistance than the green one, so it's akin to upping the weight on a barbell and progressing from there. Who knows...maybe someday I'll become strong enough to get an even lower-resistance band! Love this product!

I bought Power Guidance bands a couple years ago after reviewing many similar products. These sounded like high quality from a good manufacturer. Rounding back two years later, these were a great buy, well worth the money! I wanted them for some shoulder ROM work as well as for adding resistance to my push-up workouts. They worked great for those (and any other type of resistance band work). I (and my older teen) have used these 2-3x a week for the past two years and they've held up. I also take a couple with me when traveling for business or vacation - very convenient. I'd highly recommend. I was hoping to get two years of good use out of them but seems like they'll retain their resistance and durability much longer.

I was excited to try the POWER GUIDANCE Pull Up Assist Bands, expecting a major boost in my workout routine. However, I quickly realized the resistance levels didn't match what's advertised. The bands, while durable and visually appealing, fell short in providing the expected resistance. It's a letdown, especially if you're relying on them for consistent strength training. They're fine for basic stretching, but for powerlifting or intense resistance training, they just don't deliver the power promised. A real mismatch between expectations and reality.

Used this to add resistance to my son’s agility ladder training. Definitely kicks his butt and kicks his training up a notch!

Product worked well with exercise recommended by my PT.Too many plastic bags in packaging. The outer bubble envelope would have been sufficient.Come on, Amazon, get with efforts to reduce use of plastic to protect our environment!

I was recommended this by a friend while we were working out, and when I got to use it myself, I knew that I had to have it in my gym equipment arsenal. It's very good, feels of high quality, and has many uses in the gym. I use it to lessen the strain on my knees during hack squat, for stretching, and to warm up. Overall, I would recommend this to someone in the market for elastic gym bands.

Was afraid these would snap but have been using them for two weeks now and they're great fro stretching and I use the green one to help with assisted pull ups and they work super great.

Great

These straps are great! Originally bought them for use with a pull-up bar, but they’re incredibly versatile and now using them for a whole range of isolation exercises as well. Quality is excellent and easy to combine to get a whole range of assistance and/or resistance. Never thought I needed them before and now they’re some of my favourite equipment to use. Strongly recommended.

You get your money’s worth. Strong and durable

You can exercise in bed as well - very flexible.

Es molt potent, dura, la vaig tornar perquè era massa forta per mi.

Another good quality item, junior athletes have tried breaking them and all are still intact.
