Sports reviews of SPRI ES501R Xertube Resistance Band with Door Attachment and Exercise Charts (Red, Medium)

Customer Review: Not for men who want to gain weight
Sport shop rating: 2 Stars

I've been using a red SPRI Xertube band with P90X for about a week. I do NOT recommend this resistance band.

Here are some problems with it:
* it claims to offer resistance for the "fit" to "very fit" range. I can do 20lb bicep curls, 10 rep max. This band lets me do curls forever. If I make a loop, things improve but:
* if you use loops or shorter sections of the band, it's hard to keep track of how much you "lifted". With dumbbells, it's clear and you can track your progress.
* the handles are not cushioned or rubberized. They're simple plastic and tend to rub against my palm.
* the handles are not extensible with additional tubes. Compare that to Lifelineusa bands, where you can put up to three bands on the handle and greatly vary the resistance.
* as another reviewer mentioned, bands don't really work for muscle gain. They work for strength and toning.

Pros:
* much cheaper than dumbbels, and easy to carry around.

Description of SPRI ES501R Xertube Resistance Band with Door Attachment and Exercise Charts (Red, Medium)

At 1 1/2 times its length, the Red (Medium) weight equivalence is 10 lbs.
SPRI Xertubes provide an easily portable, highly versatile way to add resistance training to your workout. Constructed of durable rubber with secure plastic and webbing handles, the Xertubes are suitable for a variety of toning exercises, body types, and fitness levels. Color-coded red, this Xertube is recommended by SPRI for the upper body workouts of most men and fit women. It offers medium resistance for the muscle groups in the back, arms, shoulders, and trunk. SPRI also includes a strap that lets you safely secure the tube to a door for additional target activities. The kit includes two illustrated charts of exercises, including bicep curls, shoulder presses, and back extensions. Designed for light and speedy mobility, the strap can be rolled up to stash in a gym bag, suitcase, or overnight grip. --Emily Bedard
