Let me start by saying these pull-up assistance bands are a solid choice for anyone struggling with pull-ups. The set includes 3 resistance bands, knee rests, and a travel pouch, making it a complete package. The adjustable strap is a lifesaver, allowing you to customize the resistance by adding or removing bands. I used all three bands initially, and the assistance was noticeable—perfect for beginners like me.

However, not everything is sunshine and rainbows. The bands are stiff, and while that ensures durability, it also means the assistance isn’t as smooth as I’d hoped. I’m 6’0" and 200 lbs, and even with all three bands, the assistance felt uneven. Plus, the foot holders can be a bit uncomfortable, rubbing against my shins during workouts. And yeah, dismounting mid-air? Bad idea—I learned that the hard way too.

Durability is a mixed bag. Some users reported straps snapping, but mine have held up well so far. The double metal rings and steel buckles feel sturdy, but the lack of a clip-style fastener is annoying. I had to mark the strap with tape to avoid adjusting it every time. Still, for the price, it’s a decent tool to build strength—just don’t expect it to replace gym-level resistance bands entirely.
