Bodylastics Resistance Bands Set with Patented Anti-Snap Elastics, Patented Clips, Upgraded Handles, Door Anchor, Legs, Wrist Ankle Straps, Manual & Bonus 44 Workouts.

Very easy to use, lots of exercise variations and the intensity is easy to progress when combining different bands.

This is not a review for "Bodylastics Stackable" as i received a different Resistance Bands Set. I will return.

Quality is great and they look good. Just need to use them more consistently.

Why i turned to resistance bands in the first place? I wanted to start a workout program in the comfort of my own home and needed either dumbbells or resistance bands to do the workout routine (Power 90). I looked around for a set of cheap dumbbells that I could use to workout with because those are what I had always used years ago when I had been working out. I ended up not being able to find any dumbbell setup that was cheap or easy to get so after a couple hours wasted on my pursuit of dumbbells i turned to resistance bands. Why this set of Bodylastics Resistance Bands and this 96 lbs Max Tension set? Now if your like me you most likely ended up looking at Bodylastics Resistance Bands because Bodylastics reviews across the board on Amazon are very high on all their products and have lifetime warranties to backup those high ratings. So i was sold on Bodylastics from that alone and then it was just a matter of figuring out which set of their resistance bands was the right for me. The determining factors were price and the fact that i was just starting out so for around $35 and almost 100lbs of resistance i didn't see any downsides to this set of resistance bands. My first Impressions? Everything that comes with this set from the bands all seems to be built with a lot of thought in mind. From the way the end of the band is covered with nylon, the strong handles with foam, and to the strength of the aluminum clips used nothing in the set seems to be built inadequate in any way. I also don't feel like you have to worry about a band snapping because when i do a military press I'm stretching the bands over 16 feet with no real strain on any of the equipment. With that said I bet they do break sometimes however unoften that is which is why I'm sure they have their lifetime warranty. After 2 months of using them what do i think? Two months of using them 3 times a week they haven't lost any resistance or seem to be any less strong then when i used each of them the first time. The set having 96lbs of resistance is a lot more then what you might think, and I'm not anywhere near using all 5 bands together to get that number of 96lbs. At the most what I have used is two of them at a time and that is only to add 3lbs (lightest band) with whichever band I'm using for a particular workout to increase the resistance slightly. Resistance bands are a lot different in nature from dumbbells obviously due to gravity versus resistance. What i mean by that is with dumbbells you can cheat a little by swaying your body to give you a little extra momentum to finish a move. With resistance bands it isn't like that the more and harder you pull the more resistance there is. It forces you to use the proper weight for you with any particular workout a lot more then with dumbbells and in my opinion makes the workout that much better for you. Any negative thoughts? No not really but a couple things worth pointing out are changing bands and short movements. When it comes to following a workout program you do a lot of various workout which means different sets of resistance for individual workouts. That means you have to pause the video take whatever bands your using off the handles and clip on the bands you do need for the next routine. The reason i don't feel this is a negative is because i like to take a few seconds between each move to let my muscles have a slight reprieve. The other thing that is slightly more of an annoyance is short movements and what i mean by that is when doing a workout were you are bent over and don't really want the full length of the band for resistance. This means making a small coil before stepping on the band to get the range of resistance you need for that workout. The reason I'm not going to take any stars off for that is because it's the inherit nature of all resistance bands and something you would have to do no matter what resistance bands you use. Final Thoughts? I really love resistance bands a lot more then I thought I was going into this. In almost any workout they seem superior than my memories of dumbbells with resistance being a constant. It seems very hard to cheat your body with anything you do with them in almost any workout I have done so far. The couple of downsides to these resistance bands aren't enough to keep me from using them or recommending them to anyone else. The amount of resistance in this set is more than enough for me, the lifetime warranty is great in case anything goes wrong, and i find resistance bands to be a great workout overall. So if your like I was in need of a good set of resistance bands then I really don't think you can go wrong with these, so give them a try.

I already owned a set of Bodylastics Bands so I was already aware of the quality that it came with. I have also been a LiveExercise member long before it changed to Eternity Warrior. I can easily say this band set is amazing. The Wall Anchor is a god send for those looking for different variations of exercises and resistance. The anywhere anchor is nice for traveling workouts. The best thing this set gives you is what it takes away from you--- excuses for not getting a work out in ever. At first I wasn't sold on the bands as a replacement for free weight training. But over time and experimentation with intensity and cadence, I quickly saw that I could push my body to the same limit using bands in 30 minutes that took me 2 hours to do with free weights. Think bands aren't challenging? Try the Tabata method where you do 8 rounds of an exercises for 20 seconds on and 10 seconds rest. Do 8-10 exercises and you'll feel it the next day!!!! Pick the EZ curl bar for additional exercises Thank you Blake for one of the best thought out exercise inventions. It is so awesome you can own an entire gym for 200-250 and take it everywhere you go!!!

The principle is good to have that safety cord in the middle of the hollow tubing but as a previous reviewer said, you have to detangle or detwist that inner cord right from the get go, or else you can damage the rubber tubing very early on, when pulling against a sudden end point. My yellow bodylastic arrived with an inner twisted cord and you can see it from the outside. No where does it say to do this correction in the brief instruction sheet. Not only this. My green tube arrived with a „bubble“ in the rubber tubing and it looks like a weak spot. :-( So the idea is good but my set came with more than one quality issue.. do I have to contact the company now? Why did this obvious bubble in the green one get through quality control? Who needs that when you are doing rehab and just want a product to work well and safely… Update --------- I emailed the company to give feedback, and knew this was already past the warranty period because we opened to set up the system some months after purchase. They actually offered and sent two replacement tubes, saying it was very unusual for this QC issue. The tubes they sent (from Canada) were fine, in fact, they seemed different quality from the ones originally received - darker, thicker rubber. Not sure why the differences though.. do they have different manufacturing sites? So Ive changed the review rating, for very prompt customer care and service expected. However, the quality of those two tubes received in Singapore was not the same as the two received from Canada.

Quality product, well build , I feel save unlike other ones out there
