Heavy Duty Resistance Stretch Loop Bands for Powerlifting Workout Exercise and Assisted Pull Ups

I purchased this on recommendation of my podiatrist after ankle surgery. This band has helped me regain full motion in my foot. It is a good value too.

I looked at quite a few different options before deciding on this band. So far it seems to work really well. It gives me a good workout and seems very durable. I will be buying more in the future to use in my at home workouts.

Worked great for two and a half years then snapped while using . Thank god, was not hurt then found another spot where it was spiting as well. So rule of thumb now replace after two years of hard use . As well do a quick stretch inspection. Look for splits along sides, after each use to be safe. Will be getting another one .

Pretty color and good quality. Has great stretch and it a good enough length!

I had a baby last spring and I’m trying to get back into shape. This, for me, starts with pull-up training! This band has been super helpful with my training and is incredibly durable! I’m 5’8” 135lb and I got the orange band because I have absolutely NO upper body strength! I loop the band around my pull-up bar, sit in the long loop, and…pull up! It’s helped me so much that I’ve been able to move to a band with much less resistance and can do a lot more upper body workouts! I appreciated that the band wasn’t too expensive either, that was the icing on the cake!I would highly recommend this band for someone wanting to work on their strength training!

Good

UPDATE: I did eventually snap the green band.It really hadn't had that much use so was kind of surprising. Thankfully, I was standing on it and doing squats so it snapped to the ground. Black one is pretty frayed but still holding. I went ahead and bought another set since they are pretty useful and durable. These bands have been pretty great the last 3 months. I've put them through the test and all but replaced free weights and dumbbells with them. I stand on them, and wrap them on a squat rack and stretch them to the limits. My black band has taken the most beating. I also get alot of use out of the red and green band. I even have some small tears in some of them and kind of surprised they haven't even come close to snapping yet. I did buy some cheap gloves from Lowes that were extra grippy which can also help if you are using the bands in hand.

The price of some of these brands of resistance bands seems attractive but you can at least double or triple the price if you actually use these bands for training. This latest disappointment occurred after I set up the bands for box squats for the following day’s training. When I returned the in the morning, the band was off the sleeve of the squat bar and no longer a loop. This particular band had very little mileage on it but I checked for damage that may have led to it tearing completely. I found that the band had come apart at the seam; there is a male end and female end that mate and the seam is sealed somehow. The two ends had pulled apart at this mating point.I’ve had other problems with Draper bands but they’ve always replaced them when I felt I hadn’t caused the issue (loss of elasticity and scalloping for example). Now their website is gone and the customer service links are dead ends.I will only buy from Elite FTS from now on. I’d started since buying these green Draper’s and the difference in quality is obvious. Consistent tension from band to band, real rubber, and accurate tension tables stand out the most. And the contribution they make to fitness from an education and information aspect are unmatched in the industry. Worth the seemingly extra money but you will save over time if you use them with any regularity.
