Premium 3-Piece Steel Exercise Bars with Extra Long Resistance Bands - Heavy Duty LAT Pull Down, Bicep & Tricep Workout Equipment for Home Gym, Travel Fitness - Perfect for Strength Training & Full Body Workouts

I bought this because all the bars I was finding to use with resistance bands were saying "Up to 150 pounds". I seen this X Bands bar and it says "up to 800 pounds". This is easily the best bar I have tried with resistance bands. I would even say it's better than the Gorilla Bow, which I gave 5 stars to, too. What makes this bar nice is:It's 3 pieces, the two outside pieces with a welded loop on each end and a middle connector bar. I didn't use it with all 3 bars combined. I removed one of the collars and attached the two outer bars to each other. That is an excellent combination and the pieces connected firmly. I was able to attach five 90 pound bands from Go Fit to the bar and do squats with it. The weight should have been 450, an amount I can do 15-20 reps with. But the bands obviously weren't as strong as they said (not X Bands fault). The bar was good and sturdy through the movements, it comes with two very large carbiners that attach to the welded loops and in a perfect world, this bar would be by far the best due to its excellent build quality.But before I start ranting about resistance bands cheapening the workout process too much, I'll say there are some good, high-quality bands that would work great with this bar. My problem started being the bar being sold with bands listed as "long". My bands were 12-14" shorter than the ones that you can order with the bar. I really don't understand why that would make much difference since the length of the bands matter most depending on what exercise you're doing but there were times, squats, that it felt like I could have used longer bands.I would recommend this bar over any I've tried, my review history here has multiple bars and systems in it, if you're a well above-average strength trainer.I really like this product, however, you should know that if you are going to use it with pullup assistance bands you should have the bands in pairs. The description basically states it, its meant for extra long bands. It does work with one normal resistance band but its not really comfortable. Having said that the bar is really strong. Right know i have it attached to rings in the ceiling and I can use it for pullups. Extremely strong and I would heartily reccomend it.Product is very durable and I have no complaints with its performance. I'm a very OCD type of person and I wish they would have kept it from getting off scratch to Hell before it arrived to meVery strong bands and great piece of equipmentABSOLUTUEL AMAZING! this kit is like having a full cable machine at home (or anywhere else you want to take it since it's totally portable) PLUS. • Day one upper body: face pulls, tricep pushdowns, rows, curls, overhead press. • Day two lower: kickback & squat variations (add a 60lb booty band for extra burn on the squats)The bar is heavy and stable yet still conveniently portable. The bands are heavy & don't twist around. The nylon sleeve on the bands is great. I have many other bands and this system is the best by far.THANK YOU X BANDS for making such a quality & versatile product. Exceeded my expectations in every way. Can't wait to add more movements/exercises!Excellent bar! Built like a tank. Can be used as a 45 inch bar or adjusted for a 30 inch bar.
