Black Mountain Products New Strong Man Set of 6 Resistance Bands

Bought these for P90x and love them. Even though the max weight is 30-40 lbs, that's plenty for a P90x workout.These are indeed, the highest quality workout bands I've ever used, hands down. First off, the bands are not too long, which is a common problem. They are just the right length so you don't have to loop them and step on them to shorten them. The bands are not going to come out of the handles; they are securely in the handle. The handles are hard plastic and look and feel as though they can take plenty of abuse.On the instruction sheet there is a chart that shows what band color corresponds to what weight. There are also exercises listed on the instructions. I wish that they included a small, high quality laminated sheet that I could put on my wall that shows the band color/weight chart; that'd be nice. Right now I have the instructions taped to the wall that show the band color/weight chart and it's pretty ghetto looking.There is one issue though that may be a concern for some, but I didn't mark the product down because I knew it going into it. The strongest cable tops out around 30-40 lbs, so if you need more weight, you can't add weight/other bands. Some other band sets allow you to add multiple bands to one handle, but that's impossible to do with these. The bands are fixed to the handles, so if you want to use two bands together, you're essentially going to have to hold 4 handles, and that's really hard to do because they are big handles. But the other side of the coin is that this is one reason why these bands are so good, is because those parts that can break off with being able to add bands are eliminated. Like I said, I knew this going into it so it's not a flaw, but might be something that you don't like.If you have any questions, just ask in the comments and I'll try and respond promptly.

This is our second purchase of the Strong Man resistance bands. I keep a couple at work, and pull them out to do some exercises when I've been staring at the computer too long. Also keep some in the family room with the mat, so we can do some exercises while watching TV. I know, we should focus on the just the exercises, but we are far from perfect! So far, they have performed exactly as expected.The second order came with an improved instruction booklet, which is nice. More exercises with good diagrams. I would have liked a laminated color chart, but maybe that's asking a too much. I just don't see the paper booklet being that durable.The door adapter is nice for doing exercises where you need to pull or push away from something. Like the press, fly, lat pull-downs, rows, and others. Often, I don't have a door handy, so I prefer the mostly free-standing exercises.The bands are still in perfect condition, no wear or tear yet. We try to use them around 3-4 times a week, and we've had the first set for some time, several months at least. I'm not using them in a vigorous exercise regimen, so I can't speak to that level of wear. There are many videos out there on how to use them - I even saw one that showed how to stealth exercise while still sitting at your desk.Overall, I think they are a great supplement to any fitness program. Recommended.I'm thinking about trying the ones that have one set of handles and the multiple bands can be attached - smaller carry profile for travel, and an easy way to increase resistance.

I bought these bands for use with Tony Horton's Power 90 program. They serve that purpose extremely well. The handles and bands are solid. I did have a problem with one of the bands (the black one) in that is started to fray (probably because I used it a lot but I think that's what your supposed to do). I contacted customer service by email about it and had an apologetic response in less that 24 hours. Following that, I had the new band in the mail within 24 hours. Amazing way to take care of customers.I am proud to say that I am up to using the two heaviest bands and will step up to some heavier one's from the same company soon.Another point I will make is that these can be used in place or or in addition to dumbbells. I actually like bands for certain exercises and dumbells for others. I say they work differently and complement each other. Bands tend to have a lot of tension at the end of the motion; I like this for doing isometric contraction at the end of triceps and biceps exercises. I find they work better than weights for that.Overall, really good product.

I wanted a set of resistance bands. Went to local retailer and found another brand but the price was a bit too much. Came to amazon to see about alternatives.B.M.T. resistance bands were one of the top sellers with fantastic reviews. The price was unbeatable. I purchased them with my prime 2-day shipping membership and they came in time as promised. Once I received them I noticed they come with a warranty support card with a U.S. customer support telephone number. The bands are warrantied for life. Fantastic! I decided to give them a call because they were running a promotion and spoke to an American, not some foreign call center. This is a bonus in itself because I like to support domestic small businesses.The bands are well constructed. I tested them all out by stretching each rubber band, the connections to the handles are sturdy, and the handles themselves are comfortable to hold. I'm a big guy at 6'2" and these bands are long enough for me as well as my 5'8" wife. The thinner ones give good resistance for my wife with her cardio workouts. I tend to use the two thickest most resistive bands for myself. A neat feature that comes with this kit is a door jamb loop that you can put into a closed door next to a hinge and use it as an anchor to pull or push off with the bands.Overall I'm very satisfied with this product. Thanks B.M.P. Tom H. from Durham, N.C.

These loops go from easy to hard. Very versatile and you can take them anywhere for a great workout. Try doubling up the tubes for more resistance.

I am 5'8 and found these to be the perfect size. You have many different options for resistance, they are easy to use and feel like they will really last well.

deje de ir al gimnasio por una lesion y este es un buen reemplazo para volver a la actividad fisica. No se que tan buena sea para subir de masa muscular

Están muy buenas, no he usado ni las más light ni la más dura pero me gusta que tengo la variedad. Buena calidad, a mi no se me doblan en especial.
