Innstar Multi-Function Resistance Bands for Working Out, Push Up Exercise Bands Resistance Bands Set for Bench Press Gym Equipment, Home Workout, Travel Portable

Obviously you can't do everything with just this one tool. I have a door chin up bar, 2-10lb dumb bells and 2 2lb dumb bells and now this tool. Before this tool I was using a 50lb bag of gravel and the dumb bells to do chest workouts and that got really annoying after a few months. I've had the bands for a couple of months now and I like it a lot. I bought the heaviest tension. I was worried about what tension to get because I never use bands and after careful consideration decided to go with the heaviest. I'm 5'8 and 185lbs (a little chubby). My max bench is 225 and my working weight was around 200. I'm 38 years old and decided to no longer risk injury or hurting myself by going for max weights. My goals are to be sexy and healthy and a little strong. So basically I'm just looking to feel the fatigue and buzz of weight lifting without having to go the gym and be around a bunch of plague rats (before covid I still wasn't a fan of going to the gym so now I just go for 15 minutes to get some leg presses in) or risking shoulder injury doing bench presses.Here's a list of what I do with this one tool.Laying and standing chest presses (I prefer the laying down but standing still feels pretty effective)Incline chest pressresistance push upsCurlsReverse curlswrist curls and finger curlsover head presses (both seated and standing)tricep push downs (hang over door and stand on stool)pec fliesseated rowsstanding rows (both two arms and one arm)I could probably figure out more but this all I feel like doing during my workouts using this tool. This may also be a good tool to make your punches stronger. Having it around your back in the standing chest press position I was throwing some jabs and could see how this could be a training utensil for that as well.The whole system would probably be awesome but for me I don't feel it is needed as I use those light dumb bells for my other isolation movements and just go for higher reps and slow, deliberate full range of motion movements. It's pretty cool what you can feel working if you just go slower on the way back lol.In summary,If you're mostly an average guy wanting to buff up a bit and feel good about it without having to go to the gym surrounded by a bunch of people not wearing masks (I didn't like being around a bunch of people before covid anyway) this one tool can cover a lot of ground. The whole system would definitely cover everything you need. And you can buy mix and match bands as well because each one of these bands (for the heaviest resistance) is around 33 extra pounds which is a big jump for certain isolation movements. I'm very pleased with this investment and definitely feel pretty good about what I've been doing. Eventually I'd like to get back to actual weights but I dread going back to the gym so for now these bands it will be!

Not sure why anyone would give it a 1 star rating; this works as expected. I was looking for something that would help me maintain my strength while gyms are shut down due to the Covid-19 virus. This seems to be able to do that perfectly. I'd say I'm an intermediate lifter and my 1 rep max for bench press is only 185. I bought the green camo which is supposed to be 150lbs of resistance and I can honestly say that the last inch or so of straightening out my arms are extremely difficult when using this flat on my back. This should be enough resistance for me to build strength too.

INNSTAR is one word...Exceptional. They build quality products, with the best sourced materials,& make super heavy duty resistance bands that are purpose built with the user (& user safety in mind).I’ve now purchased almost every (super heavy brown camp weight band from them), 8 of their door jam D-Ring stoppers, their push up system, their 1 piece 38” straight bar,2x deadlift bands, their “King’s Set”,& hooked up the D ring door stops to 8 separate sections of the double wide doors in the entryway of my house. No better anchor point that a front door!! I’ve come up with,& been able to do at least 90% of my normal gym routine with just their band sets,& a 85cm yoga ball (which I use as my “bench”,& seat, efc.). That, or I use an inversion table (which weighs about 180lbs) to do even more crazy exercises with all of INNSTAR’s products.How anyone could not give 5 stars to a company who has replied to each of my 5 inquires within less than 3 hours, as well as provided exact specs,& helped me to built my “do it all” home gym in the process. They didn’t push me to buy every band they sold,& what I stuck with were basically their heaviest sets, as I can always double up on them if I wish, etc.I truly can’t praise this company enough. If you want a quality product (which is extremely safe for you to use), which also is made to Last...go with INNSTAR, as you can’t go wrong with them.If you want to buy cheap (dangerous) resistance bands; which lack ballistic nylon covering (which all of INNSTAR’s bands have), then pls feel free to go & buy elsewhere. Just don’t blame me when people call you Captain Morgan for the rest of your life, & all bc you saved a couple bucks in buying cheap bands that snapped & caused you to lose an eye from a broken “so called” 50lb resistance band that had snapped,& recoiled back into your eyeball, forcing you to wear a patch over your eye forever.Or; you could “splurge”,& spend an extra 10-20 bucks,& go the safe route,& work out worry free, focusing upon what’s most important,& that should be improving yourself,& making yourself the YOU that you can possibly be!!!

This is poorly designed apparatus for doing pushups and even lying on the ground and pushing away from your chest, like seen in the pictures. The resistance is very stiff, not smooth and not give enough negative resistance coming back. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT.

It has a great amount of resistance, I just find it too awkward to use for more than one set at a time. I'm 6'2, 240 with a fairly wide upper body and my arms are a 36/37 in dress shirts. When using this, I like the resistance on it. It doesn't feel like a 200 pound bench press, but it definitely has enough resistance to give me workout while my gym is closed.The only negative about this is that it's not that long. I'm sure it's designed that way to be useful to the greatest number of people, but I also think that the average person on Amazon looking for 200 pound resistance bands isn't necessarily all that slim. I pretty much have to use all my flexibility to wrap this around my back and use it. It works better for me if I'm standing up than when I'm laying down. If the strap was even 2 inches longer I probably would have given this 4 stars. Also, there are too many other bench press bands at this price point that also come with the bar to make it closer to the feel of a real bench press.Overall, this one gets the job done but it could be better.

aving children of a certain age can make exercise with free weights hazardous, and can make it rather difficult to maintain focus long enough to complete a set… what with them coming to lie down directly beneath a dumbbell I am half way through lifting. With this in mind I tried to find resistance bands that could enable me to still workout without the fear of dropping a 50 kilo metal weight on a child’s head. This is the closest I have found to that experience, really quite comfortable and easy to use, but I am finding it difficult, as with all elastic systems, to maintain resistance throughout the rep, such as you would get with free-weights… but this is the closest safe alternative. I also particularly like the sleeves around the bands, alternative systems tug at the forest of hairs on my arms, so this addition is really quite good. So far I have used this for bench press, seated row and bicep curl, without issue, and changing the resistance setting is relatively easy. It’s a really well thought out design for this type of system.

Seems like a good idea on paper, but the exercises are limited in comparison to regular bands.Durability quite poor as one of the bands snapped within 2 months of average use levels, wouldn’t recommend

Really good workout kit for home, chest and back exercises are easy to do with this and much stronger than previous bands I've purchased from other companies.Unsure on the durability as I've only had this for a week but will update if any issues arise. So far so good.

Bought this at the end of 2020 to help exercise during lockdown, been using it for 20-30mins a day, 5 or so days a week, plenty of exercises available (if you put your mind to it, squats, bench presses, rowing, etc) would help a lot having a bar with it, but I will have to purchase one separately, highly recommended!

Rubbish snapped after I used it 4 times.Expensive not worth the money.
