I bought this set of bands to replace the puny resistance band included with the EA Sports Active. After trying each band in this set at shoulder level and fully stretched over the head, the difference between the light and the other bands was significant, but the difference between medium and heavy, however, was indistinguishable.
I did some testing lifting free-weights with the bands and found each band maxed out at 15, 22, and 25 pounds for light, medium, and heavy respectively. The problem is that stretched to waste and shoulder height, the medium and heavy bands are almost identical in resistance at 12 pounds at waste and 17 pounds at shoulder height. In order to have a true heavy band, I’ll have to combine the light and the heavy for a 40 pound band.
Pros:
- thick material
- 5 feet in length and will stretch 3 times as long
- can provide a wide range of resistance from 7 to over 40 pounds with some creative thinking
- much cheaper than free-weights
Cons:
- medium and heavy bands are also identical
- requires using multiple bands for significant resistance
Rating: 4 / 5
I was very pleased with this product. The bands are more resistant to wearing out as compared to others I’ve used.
