Black Mountain Products New Strong Man Set of 6 Resistance Bands

Update 4-15-12: Still no contact from the BMP company. They advertise a "lifetime guarantee", but that appears to be no good if I can''t get in touch with the company to get a return authorization number or even some sort of response. Still using the black and green bands, since the two heaviest ones are split from use. Would truly appreciate some sort of response from BMP on what to do to return for guarantee service???

Update 3-21-12: Been using the bands for approx 2 months now. While I do like the bands and the handles, I question the durability of the bands. First the purple (highest resistance) band developed splits and tears, then the red one (next highest), and now the black one (third highest) is showing signs of wear and imminent breakage. Although the company advertises lifetime guarantee, I have contacted them more than twice about this with nothing but silence on the response. Wish the bands lasted longer than two months of P-90X use...

Have been using these bands for two weeks now, just started the P90-X workout program. Mostly have been using the three stronger bands, and sometimes the green one for shoulder raises (my weakest area). Originally thought I would need a pull up bar, and probably will as I grow stronger, but for now using the strongest band with the door securing device works fine. The handles are comfortable, and this is a quality product overall. Will recommend these to my friends that are interested in P90-X. Thanks B.M.P. ;)

This is exactly what I was looking for. They have many uses as a dumbbell replacement, but I use them primarily as a pull-up replacement with the over-the-door loop that is provided. These are very versatile in that you not only get a large variety of bands in the set, but you can also vary the resistance significantly by varying the distance from the tether point. The handles are comfortable enough that I can even combine 2 bands for even more resistance.

The build quality seems like they will hold their strength for quite awhile.

Overall, for the price, these are an exceptional buy.

Let me start by saying i purchased these bands as an alternative for pullups on p90x. For this they work well. Except that for me there is not enough resistance. I use free weights for all the exercises i do and did not purchase these bands as a replacement for that. However i thought I''d give them a shot and see how they work.

Let me say that i am 6ft and at work i regularly lift 100lbs and carry that weight around all day. Ive always been stronger than everyone around me so this may be partial to me or a select for individuals. For bicep curls the 40lb band feels about like 30lbs of free weights. Now ive worked out on a bowflex before so i know that the numbers fpr resistance are far from accurate. For example i can do 110lbs bicep curls on bowflex with ease. But free weights i max out at about 70lbs.

Regardless i remedied this by using two bands simultaneously. Using the red and orange gave me a good bicep workout. But lets get to the pullups sonce this is what i bought them for. Using the door anchor i have to use not one, not two, but the 3 hheaviest bands included for me to get a decent pullup workout.This is ok for me since i have large hands, i can handle 3 handles. But if i had smaller hamds this would be very difficult.

But this isnt tthe products fault. Its not made for people to use in replace of body weight. Its made to work up to your body weight or for people who dont want that strong of a back, or arms, they just want ro be defined. I will say though, for the price they blow free weights out of the water. They may be lighter weight, slightly awkward. But it beats shelling out $100s of dollars to get the same amount of weight.

I would recommend this for p90x or anyone who wants a good workout as cheap as possible.

This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. My girlfriend and I were starting P90X together and decided to use the bands instead of dumbbells. I particularly like these because each band has its own set of handles, so you can switch quickly between them. Also, for those of you wondering about extra weight: I can hold four handles in each hand so you can double, triple or even quadruple the weight that you''re using if you really want to max out. They all fit in a bag about the size of a football, which makes it very easy to put away, especially when you have a small apartment.

I talked with customer service after receiving them because they were doing a promotion for a free extra band (for a 45-55 lb purple band). They are extremely nice and willing to help with everything you need. Granted, I had no problems with anything, which is always a plus. Also, it''s a small business based out of Wisconsin. So, hooray for supporting a really solid small local business.

They are completely reliable. I''m very happy with the bands.

Shipping was super quick, too.

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.
