Resistance Bands - What Have You Used?

NorioDS

I've got 2 sets of dumbbells that I use for my P90X workouts but changing weights between sets has slowly but surely become a pain in the butt and they obviously don't travel well so I'm looking at getting a decent set of resistance bands.

This looks good:

But this is also a great price for an all-in-one fix:

What have you guys used and what would you recommend based on your own experiences?

Wow, those look real convenient!! I'd be curious about these too. Also need to get myself a foam roll. Those things are great!

NorioDS

The Sportsmans Warehouse ones? Or just resistance bands in general?

Averatu

Real men use Kettlebells.

NorioDS

Yes because those are REAL easy to pack in a suitcase :-\

get to fender twins, and take them to shows.

Averatu

But seriously, the brand made in Finland is the best, according someone I know who uses them frequently. The best travel exercise system is bodyweight exercises, as I proved to myself during my recent stint in Zambia.

Thanks Averatu ? Do you have a brand name perchance?

Averatu

Nope, but I understand they also make the Gym Stick.

NorioDS

Thanks! I found 'em, but there's nothing about JUST resistance bands.

I'm thinking the Men's Health gadget is a gimmick and will break, so I'm thinking of going for the others. They look quite good.

However, that said, maybe I should go to Sportsman's Warehouse and see what they've got. If something breaks, I can just go down the road to return it. Buying online complicates things if you need to return stuff :/
