Diese Bänder sind von sehr hochwertiger Qualität. Hat mein Trainingserlebnis um ein vielfaches verbessert und sie sind sehr strapazierfähig. Für das was das Training mit solcher Art von Bändern ausmacht, ist der Preis gar nicht mal so hoch, meiner Meinung nach.

We have a gym in our yogurt and we do use resistance bands for many of our back movements. Since you can’t have all the best gym equipment in your home gym, unless you have $$$$ these bands are a great substitute for such equipment. My husband had me buy these bands out of all the bands I was looking at, because they were highly rated on many fitness instructors.
They will get their official break in our next workout.

I bought these bands in March of 2020 after I was unable to buy plates for my new Rogue rack. I did some initial research, and the Serious Steel bands seemed to have overall very favorable reviews. These bands have stood the test of time for me…. very durable, no worries about breakage, etc. I compared them to the bands at my gym after we reopened….Rogue & Wodfitters…very comparable, although there is a slight difference in “stretchyness” between the bands…. the Serious Steel bands seem to be a bit more rigid. I am looking at buying a set of Undersun Fitness/James Grage bands as his videos are so helpful and I would like to support that.
The bands have over time developed a chalky film on the surface, but it washed off easily. I would say that overall I am very pleased with these bands, and you really can develop a complete workout routine and build muscle… check out James Grage and Jeff Cavalier… they have excellent vids on ways of “duplicating” traditional weight training, and putting less stress on joints.
I have been weight training for many years, and I must say I have been able to get really good workout with the bands, if I use the correct techniques to achieve activation. Hope these comments help!

These are legit. Last 1+ years so far, no visible wear. Still have that new latex smell, performance is very good.

Very good resistance and they all feel like they are good quality l. I have used them numerous times now and they don’t appear to have any damage. I have put my full body weight against them by using them for assisted pull ups and haven’t had any issues.

The bands are of excellent quality and colour scheme is a nice enhancement. I did wash off the latex residue on the bands with simple hand soap. I have owned the bands for 2 months and am very pleased with the resistance. I only use these indoors in a climate controlled room. I do admit that I will never order the black heavy band as that is too much for a user that has incurred shoulder replacement. I plan to order a second set to allow for stand up chest presses. I currently use the Serious Steel 20″ bands in sets to perform the standing press. If you are just starting out with bands you may consider the set without the green band. I also perform bicep curls with the bands without the use of collar hooks on a barbell – straight or curled bar. Simply place the band in the center of your bar and pinch the band under both feet. I fyou are very strong than simply add a second band such as the purple to perform bicep curls. No need for a special bar with hooks or the need to add collar hooks to a bar. You will not regret this purchase!!!

Layered bands that does amazing job. The tension is definitely there compared to non layered cheap knock offs.
Just buy these and you won’t regret it.

I’ve been using resistance tubes with handles and wanted to give flat-style loop bands a try. I’ve been using this set for almost two weeks. The first thing I noticed is the powdery substance on the bands as noted by other reviewers. That cleans easily with water and soap. These bands are strong and function well as either a single looped band, e.g., for bicep curls, or as doubled loop bands, e.g. for dead lifts. I do wear gloves when using these bands to help reduce pressure on my hands. I can vary the resistance I get the same way I do using a tube, by stepping back further from the anchor point or by widening my feet when I step on the band. I can also increase resistance by adding a second or third tube to my tube handle but using a combination of flat bands puts too much pressure on my hands. So, I found I can simple grab the flat band closer to the anchor or to my feet and get more resistance that way. Easy. Props for not having to spend time swapping out tubes to my tube handles. I do have some arthritis in my hands and do find it a bit difficult to grab both the bands and the tube handles. I also have a bar that I can loop the bands around to mimic the popular band/bar system I see advertised here and there. The bar seems to provide some more stability to my movement over both the tubes and the bands being used alone. Overall, I like these bands and my use them and the tubes together during a workout depending on what works best for me.

These layered bands are amazing. Don’t be fooled. There are lots of non layered overpriced Chinese knock offs here. These are the real deal.

I’m very happy with this set of 6 resistance/power bands. I purchased them to use for warming up, working smaller muscles, and for increasing mobility in my shoulder after an injury. The orange and purple bands are really good for stretching, warmup before weight lifting, and rehab/mobility work. I think those bands are essential and get used the most, especially the orange band. The red and blue are good if you want to push things further after warming up on the orange and purple. The green and especially the black are very thick, so you can’t do as many exercises with them, but they seem to work well to reduce your body weight when doing pullups or dips or for excercises where the thickness of the band does not interfere with the movement. The thick bands can provide a pretty challenging workout, similar to using weights. You will easily be dripping sweat after a good workout with these. Keep in mind that there are other styles of bands like mini ones that you put around your thighs (very popular with women), round ones with handles, or even ones that clamp onto a barbell. Watch some youtube videos on resistance bands and make sure this is the style you need for your workouts.
There’s also some negatives, but it pertains mostly to this entire class of product. Being made of latex rubber, these bands do not feel good when they rub over your skin especially if there’s hair, so you have to find ways to do the exercises without the bands rubbing against yourself. They also have a smell to them. You will smell like latex after you touch them and so will the room. I suspect the smell will not go away, but they are a little less bad now then on day 1. They also came lightly dusted in some kind of white powder. I didn’t want it all over me, so I washed/wiped it off.
Also, I was a little worried that I would get a reaction to the latex, which I do sometimes, but I haven’t so far and these are supposed to have most of the protein purified out.
