I am only 5'4", 117 lbs, 60-years old. I am not some super work-out enthusiast. I only use a cable for 3 sets of 30 neck strengthening exercises twice daily. I have never broken a cable before in 3 years of daily use. I purchased these Harbinger Cables because I wanted more resistance than I was getting with my GO-Fit 20 lb. cable, which is still in one piece! The "Harbinger Cable Super Heavy 30-72lb of Resistance", placed through the included "heavy duty woven door jam attachment" split in half within 3 months of use. Harbinger replaced this cable under their warranty; unfortunately, 3 months later, the replacement is now in 2 pieces, and Harbinger says they don't have anything better than these for me to try. If this "little old" lady's exercises break Harbinger's "best" cables within 3 months, then how quickly will Harbinger Cables show their defects to you stronger & younger users?!

I wanted to give this a good review because in theory it is a great replacement for free weights (for most exercises), and is portable enough to bring on travel. However, after less than a month of using the band it broke! The rubber band itself snapped at the handle (it is attached to the handle by a plug that is inserted in the end of the hollow band to make the band wider than an opening in the handle). I attempted to fix it, but there is no way to get the band back into the handle and make it hold.

I have 2 of the Harbinger cables, heavy and super heavy. I love that I can use the resistance for positive and negative resistance. Also they can be used with an infinate number of angles to keep surprising the muscles and keeping the workouts fresh. My only compaints are that some ads say they are adjustable, I don't know how; and that the descriptions of "Heavy" and "Super Heavy" are misleading. I could use more resistance on the super heavy one I have or, at least, a shorter length that would create more resistance over the pulled distance.
