SYNTECSO 220-440Lbs Pull Up Assistance Bands - Heavy-Duty Pull Up Resistance Bands for Chin-up Workout

Hello all. I purchased the SYNTECSO 220-440Lbs Pull Up Assistance Bands. My weight is 320 lbs and it picked my big butt up, lol. That's right, IT WORKS! Make sure you position your feet to the back of the foot rest or it'll spank you like ya mama use to when you were little! lol...

I love this device. I'm getting back into gymnastics, but I got some more weight to lose. This device takes some stress off my joints, so I can start getting back into training even though I'm not yet back at ideal weight. I've used these for parallel bar dips / nordic hamstring curls. Get the "PU pedal" version. The flexible plastic seat is more sturdy / more comfortable.

Using it every day. It’s durable and sturdy. Meets item description. Happy with our purchase.

The bands broke in less than 5 minutes of use. Literally during the second set of just 10 reps.

I'm 200 pounds and the bolt busted off when I was doing a pull up. Luckily I didn't get hit by it when it snapped. Nonfunctional at this point.

I purchased this as an obese individual. I was on a beginner exercise program and beginner exercise programs love to give fat people like me bodyweight stuff they have trouble doing, like chin-ups and large sets of squats and planks. Luckily I can just scale that stuff down in reps or time but needed something to help me with the chin-ups, because I can't do even one rep (like most untrained people) and I couldn't even do the suggested replacement negatives effectively. I thought to myself that this item could support my weight and give me the leg up (or chin up) I needed. I purchased this and tried several different setups: attaching it to the rafters over my chin-up bar (I exercise in a garage), attaching it directly to the chin-up bar, trying it standing, trying it kneeling. Unfortunately I discovered the following shortcomings: 1) Each band provides 33 lbs of resistance according to the manufacturer. I found this is too much of a step up or drop down. I was not able to find a set of bands that worked for me. It was either too light of resistance or too heavy. I could either do way too many reps (3 sets of 12) or barely one set of 3. 2) The aforementioned bands are using elastic tension to lift you up. This means that at the bottom of your pull-up/chin-up they are providing maximum force. At the top they are providing a lot less. You are not getting consistent resistance through the action. This means that different muscles are getting worked than during a "true" chin-up. When I am at the bottom of my chin-up it's almost lifting me up completely. At the top it's doing a lot less. I also had to use this standing, as when I kneeled in it (I'm 6'3") it generated insufficient force to assist me. My biceps are absolutely burned out at the end of this, but my back is fine. I would recommend looking for a lat pulldown attachment if you are obese and want to train up to chin-ups/pullups. It will be more expensive but I think it would be a more effective replacement exercise than using this. This seems to work fine for regular people. It doesn't work very well for me.

I use this product for pull-ups and dips at the moment.I’m 59 and haven’t worked out in a few years.With this product, I am able to do both exercises and I am encouraged on reaching my goals.Very Satisfied!

My dip and chin-up stand has new life. Over the years I stopped using it because it seemed to be just too hard. Either because of my weight increase and/or just getting old. Now, with the assist bands I now daily use it.

Zum Gerät, die Zugkraft ist nicht die die angegeben ist. Aber die Qualität ist ganz gut. Zur Lieferung, es ist meine zweite Bestellung. Die erste Bestellung kam bei mir nicht an (aus welchen Gründen auch immer). Das Geld wurde mir erstattet. Bei der zweiten Bestellung habe ich die Liefermöglichkeit genutzt (23 € Schnellzustellung). Und seltsamerweise kam das Gerät dann an. Ein jeder soll sich da seine eigene Meinung bilden. Das Gerät hat am Ende über 100 € gekostet.
