4.0 out of 5 stars
Challenging and versatile,
By Anthony "Life is a sport. Reap the rewards." (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Back And Chest Expander (Sports)
Sure, that was my first thought, too. "This thing's a gimmick." I can assure you that, as a personal trainer, there is plenty of challenge to be had with this remake of the classic chest expander. Back in the day, plenty of strongmen used a chest expander to work the inner chest area and muscles surrounding the shoulder capsule.
[...] The advancement of rubber products has made the modern chest expander safe and truly effective for multi-angle chest, shoulder and upper back strengthening. At under $20, it really is a steal. I'd recommend starting with 2 or 3 of the tubes engaged, then work your way to all 5 tubes. Slowly and carefully move through the full range of motion with proper breathing technique (exhale on the concentric movement) to maximize benefits. The build quality is extremely sturdy. The tubes lock in tightly to each handle and the safety sheath is made of a fairly dense foam material that protects you from inadvertent snap-back. Highly recommended for beginners and for those who are interested in a simple way to work stabilizing muscles in your shoulders, upper back and chest. There is plenty of strength to be gained by this simple, yet classic device.

Nice, but not reliable,

This review is from: Back And Chest Expander (Sports)
For the first month or so that I had this product, I was very impressed. The exercise felt good and productive. I had the old spring version in the 80's, and I liked that I wasn't getting rust on my shirt when I used this product. A week ago, I would have given this product a great review.
An hour or so ago, an end clip let go, and I've spent the past hour or so trying to get the thing fixed. I've ended up with something that might work for a little while, but I'm not happy with the result. If you are well off enough to buy several of these products and dispose of bad bands as they break, you should be happy with this product. If you're looking for one product that will give you reliable service for a long time, you should look elsewhere.

Shoddy equipment,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Back And Chest Expander (Sports)
I bought this product as a lower impact regimine to add to my chest routine. First, the website touted to provide routines listed only 1 exercise for the chest... a bench press type exercise. I was disappointed, but moved forward. In the first set, 2 endcaps popped off and the resulting snap of the elastic tubing placed 2 large welts on my ribcage. In both cases the skin was broken and the swelling in the intercostal spaces made breathing deep uncomfortable for about a week. I will never use this poorly made product again. The chance of injury is too great for what promises to be a very minimal gain. My advice: Look elsewhere.
