I’ve got these exact loop bands and they’re pretty good, in that they’re exactly as good as any I’ve ever used in my long career as an injured runner. Just got in for the other half of the set I don’t have yet.
@blaineg@glarue November would be too quick a ship (although I believe the valentines jewelry arrived a week late or so didn’t it? So that was almost on time.). Besides it needs to be well beyond the best used by date so 9 or 10 months late sounds about right.
@MrMikenIkes It’s not like there’s been much to grab anybody’s attention lately. And that last 'thon, all Cuisinart and nothing even remotely unusual, didn’t exactly qualify as an enthusiasm-builder. (I think the numbers pretty much back that up.)
Of course I literally just bought bands last weekend. $15 for two. Too much of a pain to return them because they’re off with my child at college. Bummer!
@Nerdelectric You are right about that. In fact what is even better is use them, with a funnel and attach them to the stays on tall ships and bingo you have a great slingshot that you can even send beer cans flying over to other anchored boats. Of course opening them after arriving by sling shot is another matter. Something about first you shake the can, then you open it… Sending donuts isn’t nearly as thrilling although white powered donuts leave such a nice mark of proof your aim was good when you hit the side of a black boat, she says relying the experience of a friend…
Actually we did both when the Jamestown Foundation boat I volunteered on (Susan Constance) was part of the Columbus discovered American park service movie except it was filmed at Jamestown VA on the James River. God only knows if any of those shenanigans in the back ground made it into the movie.
Anyway the tide was on the way out. We were at anchor on the river where the director wanted us despite warning him the water was going to become too shallow, the three boats got grounded and then the film director, who clearly didn’t understand sailboats, one with no motor, or tides wanted us to swing around to a different angle. Nope couldn’t do. It took the tugboat the Norfolk Rebel to pull the lot of us off.
@phelmurh my doctor stopped taking my insurance, so I had to cancel the rest of my rotator cuff PT appointments. That’s some timing. Glad to hear they’re worth it.
I have the letsfit bands, got them cheap on Amazon and I like them. They are sturdy enough and work like you would imagine, add resistance to odds and ends movements you can’t use weights for.

Darn those leftists!
@yakkoTDI Hooker ties in assorted colors. GFI.
Resistance is futile!
Tubular, man.
I’ve seen way too many videos of people slapping themselves in the face or crotch with these. No thanks.
@lowlypeon Just because they are on pornhub doesn’t mean you have to watch them.
The internet is littered with resistance band fails!
This one is well-deserved!
@Kerig3 That’s what you get for trying to exercise!

@FirstLast87 What about Jewish or Muslim vampires?
@blaineg @FirstLast87
Only $14, what a deal.
@awk
@awk LOL
@awk I mean, compare to the price of doing push-ups!
@awk @stinks By Grabthar’s Hammer, What a Savings!
This is a good deal but I have 2 sets that don’t get used much already

Rainbow straps for your pleasure, not mine.
Resistance bands? This October and I wanted some candy corn!
@glarue You are a bit confused about candy corn season. Candy corn comes in July or August so it can arrived bricked.
@glarue @Kidsandliz Just leave it in the car, parked in the sun, with the bag on the dash. Achievement unlocked!
@glarue @Kidsandliz Or November.
@blaineg @glarue November would be too quick a ship (although I believe the valentines jewelry arrived a week late or so didn’t it? So that was almost on time.). Besides it needs to be well beyond the best used by date so 9 or 10 months late sounds about right.
How do I hang my clothes on it?
Interestingly enough, Aldi’s is offering a very, very similar 5-piece set this week for only $12. (Plus that anger-indicting 99¢)
https://www.aldi.us/en/weekly-specials/upcoming-aldi-finds/upcoming-aldi-finds-detail/ps/p/crane-5-level-resistance-tube-set-3/
@haydesigner Very interesting indeed. If you don’t need the extra rubber bands, that’s a better deal.
@haydesigner @katbyter Sorry, not finding it in the link you provided.
What’s the deal with the 99 cents
@MrMikenIkes Is this your first day to the site in October?
@cengland0 no but it’s the first day I’ve actually paid attention to the price as I had no interest in the other items haha.
@MrMikenIkes It’s not like there’s been much to grab anybody’s attention lately. And that last 'thon, all Cuisinart and nothing even remotely unusual, didn’t exactly qualify as an enthusiasm-builder. (I think the numbers pretty much back that up.)
@MrMikenIkes @werehatrack
But, truth be told, that was not the first cuisinart-a-thon…
@chienfou @MrMikenIkes
And the way things are going, I doubt that it will be the last, either.
Of course I literally just bought bands last weekend. $15 for two. Too much of a pain to return them because they’re off with my child at college. Bummer!
Got these to use at work since they’re easier to tote around than weights.
I like buying wellness stuffs. Using it is a whole other subject…

Somehow the last photo looks like the most practical use for these things, haha.

Band on the run. SNAP
@technec The SNAP is the problem with these.
You use these to beat the band. Right?
Have been using this exact set to rehab after rotator cuff surgery. Solid construction. No issues.
@phelmurh my doctor stopped taking my insurance, so I had to cancel the rest of my rotator cuff PT appointments. That’s some timing. Glad to hear they’re worth it.

@spoole2020 i have so many questions about everything happening in this gif.
@epicadventure @spoole2020
Me too.
But they’d be getting so much more out of their workouts if they were wearing these bands!
@epicadventure @spoole2020 I’d like to know what giphy is smoking that it thinks that’s a match for meager-savage-carrion
Let’s try again.

@aolshove I would bestow that honor on the Bell + Howell tactical does-nothing things back in April, when they were four for 20 bucks.
@aolshove I think they are awesome and a great deal to boot!! In for one.
KRULL! A SKULL! BRETT HULL! AWESOME!
How long are the resistance bands (the ones with the carabiners at each end)?
I’m not sure what my confirmation code is telling me…

I like the joke picture. Resistance => rebellion, and that is close. Maybe a Star Wars rebel joke there too.
Ah what the hell, I need something to do during work from home meetings anyway.
/giphy shadowy-cackling-jackolantern
Ordered one for me, one for my personal trainer.
/giphy despoiled-disgusting-forest
the hell does this gif have to do with any of the words in my order number?
I just tried these out last night, and I’m impressed! I wish I had purchased 2 of these (gift for a friend)! If they pop up again, I’m in again!
Mine arrived without the elastic resistance bands. Boo!
