Power Lifting Band, 41 inch, Black, Monster Mini #3 (Pair)

We were expecting the black Jump Stretch bands pictured, instead we got 2 pink G2 SSR Bands by Headstrom. We were concerned that they sent the 25 lb resistance bands by mistake because they look just like the mini bands in the picture however after doing a little research we found out they are the 35lb. ones. So it's essentially the same item, but the makers of Jump Stretch say their product is higher quality and will last longer. I guess we will have to see. I just wish the company didn't falsely advertise what brand you were going to get.

I use these with a ten-dollar chin-up bar (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0016BNDXI).I'm 175 lbs and can't do a pull-up. At the gym, I can do a lateral pull-down of 150 lbs. I use these two bands together, loop them over the bar, and step into them, and I can do a pull-up at home.Great. Exactly what I needed. When I get much stronger, I assume I can transition down to just one, and then to zero.FYI, these bands are loop-shaped, like giant rubber bands.
