5.0 out of 5 starsVersatile, great quality and value for the set
Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2019
These came packaged very well, and I was pleased by the presentation. When you take out the bands, you know you've bought a quality product. I love that the back of the bands being black, as well. I've never seen pink getting used for band color - coding. But it's not about the color, it's about the weight ranges, and that is displayed on each of the bands for you to see. I specifically wanted the pink and green bands for its lighter loads doing shoulders. I'll explain how I do that.
These may be pull up assistance bands, forever I also use these with a thin PVC pipe to do upper body day, leg kick backs, tricep dip assists, and yes, pull up assists. They're great with makeshift deadlifts, squats, arm curls, rows, you name it. They replace the pulleys in the gym also. These are ultra versatile and should be included in any home gym. You can use the pink one for more than you know, even though it's the smallest weight range, and if one of the names is not enough resistance for you, you can add the pink to make it even more difficult. That's why I highly recommend buying a whole set... And after looking at various ones this one is the best value here on Amazon.
A few people are disappointed in these because they wanted to use this for a specific thing in the gym other than their intended purpose, and when it didn't work out they gave the product 2 or 3 stars. You can't replace weightlifts with multiple bands. It will never be the same. You just have to swallow your pride and spend the money on Olympic weights. Also, I never find myself wobbly when using these to assist in pulls or dips. However, I have used bands at the gym before. It could just be that you have to practice more.
Other than that, these are amazing. I really loved expanding my gym equipment so that some of the things at a regular gym are more accessible to me.
