AARDVARK Pull Up Bands 41" Loop Resistance Bands for Pullup Assist, Excercise, and Physical Therapy

I bought the red band after reading Kelly Starett's Becoming a SuppleLeopard book and searching amazon for rogue monster bands. I had neverheard of Aardvark Fitness before, but their reviews were good and itseemed like a high quality product based on the pictures. When I tookit out of the packaging, I felt I had made the right choice. The bandis actually really neat. Solid and well made with no seams or weakpoints.I've been using it for working out at home and trying to get back intoshape before moving to California next spring. It's great for doingcurls, rows, resisted push-ups, etc. I've also been using it as a yogastrap, anchoring it around my feet to help me stretch in some of myyoga poses. The red band itself is pretty narrow and it's definitelybetter suited for working out and stretching than for helping withpull ups. I would recommend the green or purple bands if you need helpwith pull-ups. Overall, I'm five stars all day with this thing. Niceproduct.

First off they have no seem, clean cut, and appear to be of very good quality material as advertised (even the white print when stretched is undisturbed). The loop size of 82" is perfect for me at 5'10. I prefer these flat bands over the round bands when used against the body. The resistance is initially sturdy and smooth as you stretch them out. They do increase resistance moderately more when stretched to @ 150-200%.You can easily fold/roll them neatly for storage. The set comes with a nice bag to help keep multiple bands together. Highly recommend these if you travel for trip without the bulk or weight. I'm betting these will last a long period of use, but time will tell as this is my 1st time using them. Check out YouTube for exercises using resistant bands. Hoping i can find good attachment options to use with bands for greater capability.

Very good product for a far better price than you would find in stores.

I got exactly what I expected with this band. I way about 162 pounds and it is just right to help me with pull ups. Before I was discouraged because I could only do 1 rep. With the purple band I can do several reps and I'm sure I'll soon be able to go to a smaller band or go without any band at all and be back to my 10 or 11 reps that I could do in high school. Just loop one end through the other around a pull up bar and stick your bent knee through the loop. Now you can do enough reps to get a good workout. If you need a little more help you can stretch the band down to your foot (you might need a partner for this). You can also step on the band to do curls or wrap it around a pull for stretches and other exercises let you imagination (or youtube) be your guide.

Typical low grade crap

I ordered the red, 41" resistance band and am very pleased with it. It's definitely changed the way I work out -- I've been doing some googling, and I've found lots of great exercises that incorporate the resistance band. You can check them out here: http://greatist.com/fitness/resistance-band-exercises. I don't have time to go to the gym (or I'm not willing to make the time, haha) so this band is basically saving my life. It's made of high-quality, sturdy material, and I suspect it'll last quite a while. Not smelly at all, like many other rubber bands. I highly recommend it.

Works great!

I have used this twice now to finish up my pull-ups. I am 5'6"/165lbs.......I start out doing dead-hangs, 3-4 sets of 6-10 reps (10, 8, 6, 6, etc) to failure, then I used my exercise band from Athlean-X (Elast-X/Classix "X" Band) that provides 15-40lbs resistance to complete more sets (to failure), then in comes the Aardvark to finish up. I complete anywhere from 12 - 15 sets total, all essentially to failure. This Aardvark is good quality and well worth the price. I will probably get more in the future. In hindsight I should have just gotten the whole line up. Obviously depending on your weight and what you're trying to accomplish will determine which band you want to get. I think I would determine my ideal band and then get that one, and one above and one below in tension/resistance.
