PhD Fitness LLC The JYM Strength Bands System, by Renowned Training Expert Dr. Jim Stoppani, Includes 14 Anti-SNAP Bands

If you've followed Jim Stoppani for any length of time, you know that his knowledge, passion, and integrity to help people achieve a higher level of fitness is unparalleled. This product became available as I recovered from a recent surgery and I thought it would be a good way to ease back into working out. After reading more about resistance bands from Dr. Stoppani, I realized that they confer benefits in addition to rehabilitation; they are in several ways superior to weights, as counter-intuitive as it might seem. The linear progressive resistance recruits more fast-twitch fibers at the apex of the movement which is more conducive to growth, there is constant tension, drop sets are much simpler and quicker (and modulating weight by smaller increments than 5 or 10 pounds is possible, allowing you to squeeze every last bit of effort from a movement), they often allow for stretching of the muscle which results in a stronger contraction, and the ability work in different planes that don't rely on gravity to provide the resistance are a few of those added benefits. As a practical matter, if you travel, no more making due in a hotel gym with one treadmill and dumbbells up to 25 pounds or searching the area to pay $10 or $15 or more for a one-day pass. In terms of the product, it is very tough, high quality, and it comes with every accessory you need to workout at home or enhance your gym workouts by adding bands to the weights for presses, squats, rows and more. Dr. Stoppani also has extensive band workouts you can view on youtube, including his 4-week band challenge. This set and Dr. Stoppani's workouts are highly recommended!

It comes with everything you could possibly need. I use it in my basement home gym. I have not used the door anchors. Instead I use the beams in my basement, my pool table, my bench, and anything else that's sturdy.It's Important to train muscles with multiple exercises. It also helps keep the person interested. I have been using Dumbbells only to workout. With bands I can add so many exercises to my workout.I recently started Jim Stoppani's Super Shredded 8 workout. I don't have a gym membership and can't do all the cable exercises in my simple dumbbell and bench setup. With this bands setup, I am able to duplicate any cable exercise and much more.These are so versatile and can be used in so many ways. It's a must have for anyone. And bands do work. I haven't felt sore in a while after a lift. I then implemented the bands and was sore until I got used to them.Bands can be used by a bodybuilder or a bodybuilders grandma. They can be used anywhere you go. They can be used for every muscle. They need to be added to your cart.

You need more variety than just free weights, you get that with this band set! Jim knows what he is talking about, PhD.I have put these bands through their paces and they have not shown any signs of wear. The pump you receive from these are amazing and completely different from any free weights.I would advise anyone with flexibility issues to use these as they allow your muscles a smoother contraction and easier range of motion. Add/subtracting weight is easy and fast so you can get to your next set without too much rest!Obviously don't use the door anchors on a door that opens towards you or the door could bust open and you will potentially be struck by the bands/door.Are they worth it? without a doubt, you get your moneys worth for a long time as they have a long life expectancy.What would i add to the system? a large door anchor that incorporates multiple anchor points so that you don't have to move the 2 door anchors to different positions all the time.They are perfect and get 5 stars across the board.Also what makes this great is if you have any questions about them, you can tweet Jim Stoppani himself and he always replies. Great man

Completely amazing, everything you need is there, so easy to use, tons of resistance, so much variety, I was surprised how hard of a workout I can do with these but they wore me out. This is worth every penny and then some, be sure to check out JimStoppani.com for great band workouts they're really helpful to learn everything you can do with these. One thing to be prepared for, when I got mine the rubber/chemically smell was pretty strong but goes away after a little time.

A few years ago, I purchased some SPRI exercise bands and while they were good, they aren't even in the same league with these Bodylastics Jym Stoppani Exercise bands. One of the nicest features is the clip. It allows for much more versatile use of the bands. You can easily clip more than one together to increase resistance. It also makes attaching the handles and ankle attachments easy and secure. This kit comes with Jim Stoppani's Superman booklet (also available on his subscription website www.jimstoppani.com) as well as a helpful wall chart. The gym bag is made of durable nylon and easily holds all the equipment in a compact manner. One thing I love is that this kit is not only compact, but also complete and that makes taking it on vacation or trips a breeze since it doesn't take up much space!

Amazing set of bands. Would be more helpful with a little booklet in addition to the massive poster for ease of travel. For that I couldn't give a perfect rating.

Great bands. Mine are several years old and all broken. The were sold with a lifetime warantee, but no contact info on their web site. Does anyone know how to reach them?

Perfect resistance weights from beginners to advanced. Very durable plenty of connectors from multiple hand grips to ankle straps. Usage guide to get you started and able to adjust to hit multiple angles. It was for my wife mainly but I have taken it to work and before eating lunch able to hit a few sets. Portable, removed excuses of no time. I was using some of my wifes older ones then it busted while doing files and I decided to step her equipment up. #Jym army
