Does the magnetic resistance offer enough resistance for a 6' 2" stocky athletic built guy in hand position 3 &amp; laying it on heavy?

I am about the same size as you and have had no problem pushing myself with the resistance dialed in. That said, the resistance nob is a twist style and can't say for sure if three twist would be enough but I would think five would. The resistance is solid and it is a good system.

Yes, I am 6'3" 275+ and have used this unit extensively. I have no fear of unit failing at all, nor should you. Have pro version. This product is very well built.

There is no adjustment. There is a statement on the box that claims "smooth magnetic resistance" and as I understand it, the resistance is supposed to increase as you pedal faster, but I can't tell if anything is happening or not. All I can say is that when I'm pedaling, there is enough resistance for me to feel like I'm working hard, but I'm not a serious athlete. If manual adjustable resistance is important to you, this gadget won't satisfy you.

If you combine all 3 bands it will provide 250 pounds of resistance or assistance. I have ordered 2 sets of these bands for my gym so far and love them - will definitely be ordering more.

The product doesn't specifically mention any numerical value for resistance. I am a medium-built woman, medium activity level and could use it easily. My husband found it too easy and 'loose', if you know what I mean. So, I'd say it depends on your energy and strength, and also what you want out of it. If you are looking for a rigorous work-out for your hand muscles, this is not the right product.Personally, we didn't like the product and returned it.

I wouldn't think so, this little unit is pretty tuff. Im the same height as you and 40-45 lbs less and losing as we write. I really love this unit, and I think as long as you are not too hard on it, it will come through for you. My husband stepped on it and he is 6'5" 290, and it didn't even creak. I'm pretty lazy and this thing has gotten me up and exercising, Im eating better and I have even started my walks outside. I live in the Bay Area and walk along the shore looking at San Francisco. Im losing weight and feeling good. I added 3lb hand weights and use them while im on the stepper. I have a before and I will take an after when Im done. So, good luck, you cannot really go wrong with this. I wouldn't think so, this little unit is pretty tuff. Im the same height as you and 40-45 lbs less and losing as we write.

Yes they will. I liked the resistance level on these. It was just enough to feel it the next day but not too heavy during exercise. The only downfall on these for me was that they are not ideal for small hands. They tend to slide a lot since the weight is located on top of your hand. I used these once during my combat class and had to take them off after 30 mins since I was constantly busy holding on to them trying to keep them from sliding to the side. My knuckles were pretty red from the friction.

You can also tighten the belt. That will add more resistance and stop the belt from moving too quickly. That's what I did to mine. The how-to part is in the instruction manual.

I purchased the blue power breathe and have found it more than adequate for my needs. Begin using the device at its lowest setting and work the resistance up from there. As a large, reasonably fit man, I have not come close to maxing out the resistance on the device. Hope this helps!

Yes it will pick up that much weight, but it may be strenuous on your wrist. We use this device frequently to pick up large items. The grip does require some force but I am not sure how much. The type of squeeze grip they have created is very user friendly. This is a top of the line product that is very durable.

Yes.I weigh 155 and it bent when I was half way up a 15' wall testing it out.I then straightened it out and welded the tines together at the main shank. It's working great now.I have used it about 10 times. Climbing 10-30 feet. I changed the rope of course.To reach the higher limits I tied a string to a large nut and tossed that over a tree limb and then attached the grapple and pulled it over.Be safe!Roy

Th material is not magnetic. But an extension should work but can't be too long like over 3 inchs. Just my 2 cents

It has flexability, but it would depend on the circumference your looking to accomplish. The magnet isn't strong enough to hold if you're rolling it over something, magnet strength is designed for flat surface with no pressure. Hope this answers your question......

Yeah but it'd be kind if awkward I think. But yeah the resistance works either way. I don't recommend the machine for really hard core workouts. It will only hold up for light use.

It does! I weight 290 and tilt resistance is rather good. It holds up his big guy!

It depends, the heavy one could work for you, I used to put 110 lbs resistance in the abductor machine and I feel great with this bands. But maybe you are looking for something more challenging, if it so go for the x-heavy and xx-heavy set :)

Judging by the sturdy construction I would say you will be fine...also taking into consideration the angle of your exercise your full body weight will not be applied. If you have never done these before go slowly outward but beyond your physical strength. It won't take long to figure what your limit is. Be safe and enjoy
