Resistance Band Bar, Length-Adjustable Detachable Heavy Duty Workout Bar for Resistance Band Training, Core Muscle Training, Home & Ourdoor Workout, Max Load 800 Lbs

This lived up to my high expectations and was better than I had hoped for. Does what I wanted it to do.

I've been using the TESLANG bar with bands for 2 years now as a budget X3 alternative and had to try the GEKU bar out. The TESLANG has a threaded carabiner set up and when the GEKU $45.99 alternative bar with hooks popped in my view, I was sold on it.Zero regrets.I like that I can configure bar length close to the same as what I'm used to, but also have more variation for different exercises. It's essentially allowing me to lengthen or shorten the band which has been a nice bonus. Threading the bar in different configurations takes very little time to setup and so far seems pretty robust.I like the bar padding but switching from the thicker smooth knurled TESLANG has been something to get used to. I don't think it effects any of my training so far. Grip is good still for deadlift which was my only real worry. Front squat seems a little more comfy with the padding which was a nice plus.The hooks face the same way on the set I received and have had zero issues with belts slipping off. However they seem to flex with my heavy bands doubled up for squat or deadlift. Some of the flex could also be from the thinner bar than the TESLANG I'm used to. Time will tell if they hold up but so far it seems safe enough. The pivot of the hooks isn't as smooth as I'd prefer or am used to, but not jerky enough to be a complete bother.All in all I think this GEKU bar, a DIY resistance band platform, and a variety of inexpensive bands will get you a great home or travel gym setup. It has limitations, but is a good tool to have if limited on space or budget. Add in some body-weight or even weighted calisthenics and you are good to go.

This resistance band bar is an excellent addition to your gym. It is very sturdy, yet breaks down for portability, which is important for those of us who work out while traveling. Assembles and breaks down quickly, and can be used with either loop or tube bands. The biggest value add for me is that this bar allows me to use more resistance, more comfortably, especially when doing leg work (squats, hinges, deadlines, etc.). The only criticism I have is that the bar could be even more useful if it were 6 inches longer. Overall, very happy with this purchase as I use it regularly with my bands.

As someone who has the J Bryant bar, and the X3 Bar, this is by far my favorite for the price. This bar has a great weight to it, I like the fact that it has a soft rubber grip to it as opposed to knurling that causes my hands to blister.The hooks rotate freely as you want when doing exercises like curls and overhead press.The only thing I would do to make this better, is make the hooks able to accommodate a slightly thicker band, although maybe that would require much more heavy-duty hardware.Overall this is a great buy for anyone looking to upgrade their resistance band workouts.

The size is good Good grip Able to Handle Resistance Band with Heavy Resistance.This is what I was looking for. The Price is good.

And great company

The Geku bar is a great tool for bench presses, military, dead lifts, rows, and curls. The length and girth of the bar is perfect for my size and it holds the bands perfectly. Doing resistance bands has changed my life! Then, after ten months, the plastic covering of the bar separates from metalic part. Ugh! For a while, this part has felt as though it would break and now it has come off. So...now I'm struggling over whether to get the new release...Hmmmm...

I bought this bar to try out and will be returning it. While the listing claims it's good for 800 pounds it flexes and moves far too much for my taste. Even with the serious steel blue band (25-80 pounds), I could feel it flex and move while doing chest presses. I would not feel safe going much heavier than that with this bar.It's a nice-looking bar, and the three-piece design makes it easy to break down and store away in a small space if needed. If you're not looking to go real heavy it would be a great option but if you're looking to use heavier bands then you might want to look at other options.Also, the end hooks are on the narrower side and will not fit larger bands like the Serious Steel Black Band.
