Gorilla Chest Bands

I purchased this set as well as just a band and bar to use to work out with my husband. I got the brow n camo for him which seemed to be the right resistance. The red camo I purchased for myself and should have gotten one level up, I am not super strong but it seems to be a bit light on resistance for me. With the set make sure you have a door that swings away from you to put the door anchor on. I like the booklet that came with the system but wish it had sample workouts.

Exactly what I was looking for! I wanted a bar that I can attach resistance bands and do the same exercises that I was doing with a barbell. I found the tube bands work best. I bought carabiner clips for easy attachment of the bands.

The bands device does a great job for targeting shoulders and chest, and is really useful on its own, as a pre-exhaust, or as part of a super-set. The Bar feels solid when screwed together, the ends spin easily so the bands don't get twisted, it has the right amount of heft and not too much padding. At this price, it is a very solid deal.

This thing is awesome. Not too thin and super sturdy with a padded layer around it that isn’t too thick. I would like to have the option of ordering one without the padding and maybe even different length options (maybe you can offer 4 and 6 inch extenders/spacers that can be added in between the two pieces of this bar).

The way it was packaged was so well placed in a sturdy decorative box. Gonna keep that! Just tried them out and OMG they are everything a gym enthusiast would want in their arsenal! A must have if you want something that can a difference, especially if you don't have the room for big machines in your home. I actually received the wrong version, but these are too good to return. I had shopped around so much and seen so many, that I clicked on the ones I thought were the 80 lbs. Anyway you cannot go wrong. I had researched and read so many of these, that these are worth every penny!

As a lifelong weightlifter who's trying to make due with home workouts, I was pretty skeptical of these, but I decided to give them a try. To say I'm impressed would be an understatement. Just for comparison, at the gym I usually do my bench press either with a pair of 100 lb dumbbells or if I'm doing incline barbell bench, I start at 225 lbs and end around 300 lbs. So my concern was that 200 lb resistance bands would be way too easy. And to make a long story short, I was laughably wrong. I've now worked out with these three times and the last workout especially left me more sore than I've been in ages. Oh, quick tip: these do take 1 or 2 workouts to get used to, so if you're having trouble, make sure the belt is placed very high on your back (as close to your armpits as possible) and try a wider grip on the bar.

I love this product for standing rows and seated rows. These two exercises alone pump up my shoulders like no other bodyweight or resistance band movement has thus far (not saying you can’t get a good pump from bodyweight and resistance bands but I definitely noticed a more rock-hard feel when using this product for these two specific exercises) As for the bench press, I feel more fatigue in my front delts and biceps than I do tension in my chest. That being said, even though you can’t necessarily feel the muscle group working that doesn’t mean it isn’t (I just wish I could feel more tension). I have tried shifting around the position of the bands both on my back and on the bar itself and the angle at which my arms move up but that hasn’t helped too much (although there is a substantial difference when positioning the belt from your lower back to your upper back as well as narrowing your grip to push-up up like level).

I've paid full price for this product and this is my honest review. It is a whole little gym in a bag. Delivered on time in a very nice package with accessories and instructions. Quality of materials seems to be very high. Had a couple of workouts and if you know what you are doing you can perform most of the gym exercises at home with decent load. In my opinion based on the amount of reps and load, you can build muscles, do cardio, lean out etc.

Got this delivered a few days ago. Very high quality, love the resistance. I have a bar from another company that i use with these bands to complete my set. FYI never use the eyelids that come with the bar. Just use the leg straps or hand grips, attach to bands and slide them onto the bar.
