HOXWC Resistance Bands With Handles And Attachments

These HOXWC workout bands are a lightweight and efficient weight-training system that can be easily stuffed into their mesh bag and taken anywhere. It’s important to note that these are not like plain, unadorned tube or loop-style bands. This is a five-piece set consisting of one door anchor, three “tricep rope cable attachments” offering the resistance of 35, 45, and 55 lbs respectively, and a pair of handles that are attached to one piece of this rope-style material. That the handles are attached near the top of the “attachment cable” could be considered either efficient or a bit of a limitation with regard to range of motion.

The cable attachments consists of carabiners attached to a heavy-duty woven rope-style material, and the tube-style bands that comprise these cables are covered with a pleated, sturdy cloth material. The equipment is nice looking and seems more than capable of withstanding any pressure.

Depending on where you are placing the door anchor, (top, side, or bottom of door), as mentioned earlier, because of the handles being attached to each other near the top of “tricep rope cable attachment,” your range of motion is limited in that whether you insert your hands or feet into the handles, there is little opportunity for the side-spread motion of either a stretchy rubber material or just two separate (and longer) handles. Of course, this could simply depend on one’s personal preferences or needs and is not necessarily a fault. So, for now, until I’ve had a few more opportunities to use this, I’ll consider it a nice addition to, and variation from, my tube style and flat/loop bands.

The only real disappointment, for me, was that there was no instruction booklet for how to best use this product. Still, I already consider it to be a nice addition to my home gym and was impressed by the ease of performance of both upper and lower body exercises.

I’m an interior designer/carpenter, so when I finished my basement apartment myself, I intentionally created an extremely strong/solid wood ceiling. I also do some bouldering/rock-climbing, so I figured making the entire ceiling solid would allow me to hang bouldering grips, work out equipment, etc. I got it all finished and added grips and various other things, but then realized how perfect resistance bands would be. I added metal loops so I could quick connect the bands, pull up bars, etc. When these bands arrived, they took seconds to hook up and boom — I was in business. I found that I could connect them to each other as well to make longer or more customized work-out routines. Quite frankly, between the ceiling set up and these bands, I can replace almost all the equipment at a gym — while still leaving the rest of the apartment without any clutter at all. I highly recommend them, especially if you have a similar setup.

This is great for when you want the same variety of workout equipment but you don’t want to leave the house. You can put this into the door with the anchor and do bicep, triceps, a back workout, a shoulder workout. You can put this in the bottom of the door and then work on legs such as lateral leg raises

I like the fact that it has 3 resistance bands that are labeled to it is easy to change resistance strength. It also is very portable so if you are going on a business trip and are going to be stay at a hotel you can still get a workout in, or even to keep at the office. Easy to slip into the top or bottom of the door. You can do many different exercises working your arms shoulder or even your legs and glutes.
The only issues I had with it was. The dual handle doesn’t allow for full triceps extension. For full extension I had to just do it one arm at a time. Also the length of the bands makes it so that when I am doing curls the resistance doesn’t really hit until the end of the curl. Same with most exercises the bands seem a little to long so the beginning of the rep has little to no resistance and at the end of the rep I am not sure I even get the full resistance. I have tried stepping away from the door and trying to get a pre stretch on the band which helps but still lacks in a full rep resistance. Some of this is normal as that is the nature of bands, but I think the bands could be shorter for a more thorough rep.
