Epitomie Fitness Bionic Flex Pull Up Assistance Band – Premium Dual Layer Pull Up Assist Bands for Strength Training Exercise, Physical Therapy, Powerlifting, Stretching

I've been looking at resistance bands for a while as an additional variation to my workouts. However, they haven't been a priority and I've seen too many that are over priced for the quaility that they are. The bands came double bagged with a ziplock plastic case, then a drawstring bag inside. I'll probably only ever use the drawstring bag for the bands themselves, but the ziplock one will come in handy for other uses such as in my flightbag to hold my electronic equipment etc.The bands are definitely of a higher quaility than I have looked at before, and all four are of the same standard, from the lowest to the highest. The thickness and feel of them as they stretch are good. I dont have any fears that they are likely to snap anytime soon, if at all. I will be interested to see how they last given there are two distinct layers, but if my experience of previous Epitomie products are to go off, then I know that they have been designed with long lasting durability in mind.Pricewise; well while they might not be the cheapest around, however they are good value when compared to similar products and still cheaper than a lot of products of a lesser quality.In fact I have only two minor issues regarding this product. The first is that while there is guidance on Amazon as to which band to use to assist in pull-ups, there is no tension rating for each band which is something I would have preferred to know. as I will be using them for other exercises. I understand that they cannot be highly specific, but a general poundage guide would have been helpful given that I will be using them for a variety of exercises and would like to gauge my progress. (This is a issue I find with a lot of bands, whatever their style. Sometimes low, medium, very strong just doesnt cut it lol.)The second is that despite a card inside the bag saying training and instructions can be found on Epitomie's website, there is nothing there, and these bands are not even advertised. This may just be an oversight or delay on the website given that these are new products, so it will be interesting to see if they make it to the website soon. I have purchased other products where I was able to access other ijnformation, so I know it is something Epitomie do actually do. Bionic Flex Resistance Band - Ultra Durable Resistance Band Set for Pull Ups, Strength Training Exercise, Physical Therapy, Powerlifting, Stretching by Epitomie Fitness - Set of 4 Pull Up Bands Other than that I am completely happy with the products and may end up purchasing more for a couple of people I know who would appreciate them.

I have tried a lot of resistance bands and these are without any doubt the best ever! They are a bit more expensive but I honestly believe they are worth it. Obviously only time can tell but I have confidence that these bands are safe for very heavy exercise.I have read the other customer reviews and feel a need to comment on a couple of negatives.To begin, realise that these are just resistance bands and they can be used like any other resistance band - no new exercise types but I feel (my opinion only) that these are going to prove more durable than some others.Yes, instructions are not included. In my opinion if you need instruction on SAFE use you should not have bought them in the first place. If you want advice on what is possible, the internet is full of suggestions - more than would fit on the typical instruction leaflet. A good start would be to look up the difference between free weights and resistance bands.If you think the resistance bands are too long have you actually figured out how to use them? Resistance bands are one of the most flexible tools for resistance training. If you think they are too long adjust your hand position. The same if you think they are too short. For example, if you are doing bicep curls with the band looped under your feet you will probably start with your arms straight and a fair amount of slack between your hands. As you progress through the exercise (say 10 out of 15 curls) you may find the strain is too much. Just release a bit of the slack until you can continue. Easier than changing dumbells.

This my first time using reactance bands for exercise. The only other experience I have is using Thermabands for rehabilitation - DO NOT confuse these bands for the cheap variety you might see in the gym/physio.The Bionic Flex bands are really well made and I was pleasantly surprised at how solid they are. I bought the blue and red bands which are approx 104cm long (when halved - they obviouy form a circle!) and approx 5-6mm thick. They each come with s handy little, washable, bag so they don’t get wrapped round your sandwiches in your work bag.I have only used them for body exercises and haven’t yet had the opportunity to attach them to a man anchor point/frame which I have no doubt will add a whole new dimension to them. I’ve used them for press ups, squats curls, triceps extensions & overhead presses. The concept seems easy and I didn’t think I’d get much of a workout from it - I was wrong!! These bands totally change the tension you feel when exercising. If done properly the tension is constant and you can really work to fatigue quite quickly.I’d definitely recommend these, very handy & light, perfect for travelling. I’ll defo choose these for holiday training rather than searching for hotels with ill-equipped gyms full of poorly maintained it. Also Ideal for working safely through injuries or niggles

This review is for the red band. Can in great packaging as usual. You get a nice bag to store the band in. I’m about 15.5 stone so went for the red band and these seem about right. The band appears to be well made and are a good resistance. I have not used these in the gym only at home to strengthen my arms and legs. I thought the tension at first was light but i soon found fatigue quickly. I would recommend these the only negative point and it really is small, like many products sold by Epitomine Fitness they have instructions and guides to using the equipment however you don’t get that with this one. It would have been nice to have had some sort of card showing different types of exercises but i suppose you can just google it.
