Title: Not for men who want to gain weight
Review: 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.
