How well will these work for a 6'1" male and P90x?

Although it is a good product and well made, it may not be enough resistance for you. I use the black band with ease (the strongest band in the set). If you are doing P90x, then you must be quite strong and fit. For a person just starting to exercise and just starting resistive training who's strength is low then there would be room to grow with these bands, but if you have decent strength, then the bands may be too easy for you. Just on the fact you are male and 6' 1" probably means you are pretty strong. I'm sure there must be stronger ones out there, but I would want to check them out at a store to make sure the resistance was hard enough for me. I also bought dumbbells after the bands. I like those because I can use the exact weight I want to lift. The down side is they are a bit expensive and take up more room. They do make adjustable dumbbells which takes up less space. In summary I think the bands would be good for a person who's strength is not great. If a person is pretty strong then I would be hesitant to recommend them because they may be to easy. And if your strength is at a moderate level, you may progress or grow out of them quickly. Good luck Lone Cowboy! Karen

Fine, I'm 5'9" 205 - not fat, muscular - and they work well for me. They are bands and will probably need replacement at some time, but I use them regularly and show no wear or fatigue.

Buy these Black Mountain Products Resistance Band Set with Door Anchor, Ankle Strap, Exercise Chart, and Resistance Band Carrying Case or these Black Mountain Products Ultimate Resistance Band Set with Starter Guide They allow you to hook multiple bands on one set of handles giving you a lot more band strength options. I combine Red/Black/Blue to get ~ 50 pounds. Plus, if a band breaks (has not happened to me) the other bands will keep handles from flying apart. I am 6'0" and use these for P90X.

works fine for me when I do. I think it depends on how tall you are as the metal frame could be an issue if you crunch your knees up and they hit the frame. I'm 5'6"

If you're a smaller man it will work. Considering I got them for my 6 year old for a Halloween costume and there was little alteration to be done.

I'm 6'1", and it had about 3-4 more adjustment positions to go. Might be close depending on your legs, but I'd guess yes, it should work.

I think so. My husband is 5'7", 165 lbs, and they work fine. They have adjustable straps which tie around the leg so if they are too long, one could just cinch them up higher.

For his height it will work fine, a friend of mine who is 6'1 has had no troubles with it, however, if he plans on lifting much heavier than 300ish pounds I wouldn't suggest it as it starts to become unstable.

I'm 6'0" and I feel like I'm maybe a just a bit too long for a perfect fit. But it's workable for me. My biggest complaint is that my feet drag the floor with leg extensions on the down stroke. I'm actually thinking of putting some 2X6 blocks under the feet to give me an inch and a half more clearance. My 15 year old is about 5'9" and he seems to fit without complaint. Neither of us has a problem with hamstring curls. I wouldn't think that 5'6" would be outside the design of the equipment since 5'6" to 6'0" is where a lot of people (men at least) fall. Average US height for men is 5'10" and women 5'5". I'm 6'0" and I feel like I'm maybe a just a bit too long for a perfect fit. But it's workable for me.

I think you'll be fine. I'm 6'2" 230 and these are rock solid. I was concerned that they might have give when stepping on them but installed correctly they have no give. The instructions suck by the way but there are a few good Youtube videos. Hope this helps.

On the highest setting its perfect for me and I'm 6 foot, he should be comfortable, and they are adjustable

I'm 6'1 and 205. It's enough for me however while these are inexpensive the arm rests tend to break off after a couple of months. They are tack welded on the underside of the chair and not attached to the back of the chair. It happened to both the chairs I ordered. My opinion, if money isn't the main reason for buying this chair, I'd buy something heavy duty for a man his size. If you are only using it very occasionally and not in a business environment it'll probably work (for a while).

I am 5'6" and it's plenty long enough to do lunges. I do mine along the 72inch side. I use it for p90x-3 and it works for most everything. A couple of moves need some extra space but it's very good otherwise.

I bought them for my wife and she is the same height. They work well for her.

I'm 6'1" and I have these. Hindsight, I would have went with longer bands with more tension. I have to put 3 bands on at once to get a necessary tension

I am 6' 3" and they fit me no problem. They are one size fits all but they are not small by any means. Buy them!

I'm 6'1" and there fine for me, but as an earlier responder noted, it depends on the length of your arms.
