If I weigh 150lbs and use all 3 bands together will I only be lifting 30lbs of my own weight? Asking for the wife. Thank you.

I weigh 136-140 lbs and I just use the green band (#5). I can do 10-12 pullups with my foot in the band, and about 8-10 with my knee in the band. Look at the graphic of # of pullups / band color. I'm not sure how much of your own weight you'll be lifting, but I think if you weigh 150 lbs you can use the green band successfully.

All three at the same time means she will not be pulling much of any weight. My students who cant even do one pull up are able to 6-10 using the purple and black one. Then they move to the green one and then purple. You need some weight to get the feeling that you are pulling yourself up.

No it is actually the total weight of everything including the bars (the bars are about 2.5 lbs each). So you would be able to do a max of 50lbs per arm with this set... which would be pretty awesome in my opinion :)

I use them just like weights in the gym. They are awesome. I love them. Good luck.

They do not sell them separate as far as I can tell. I didn't want the resistance bands but I got them anyway. FYI-the shocks on this thing blew out on me after eight months. I weigh 140 lbs. and used it four days per week. Didn't seem like it lasted long enough.

Three pound weights are needed. I'm sure you would feel workout without weights but good idea to have some.

Yes, you've to get your own weights. I suggest you start with lighter one n increase it as it progress.

It comes with 3 bands which allows for a maximum weight resistance of 101.2 lbs. However, you can buy additional bands which would allow you a maximum of 138.6 lbs.

I think you can combine several bands together. In my opinion, the limit would be based on your fitness level AND, as important, how many handles can fit in your hands to allow you to get an adequate grip to do your exercises safely.

I have the CAP 15 pound plates which the often sell cheap and can get 150 pounds of plates on the curl 47 inch Z-curl bar with no problems plus the bar at 12 pounds gives me 162 pounds. I could probably If I use my 25's with the 15's and other smaller plates I often do 3 inch close grip bench presses (for the triceps) with the 47 in Z-curl bar and can get 197 pounds on there for sets of 12 reps. I imagine if one put 50's on there you could get well over 200.

I've completed the series twice with a set of 5-52.5 lb select tech dumbbells, a pull up bar, and a weight bench. I need more weight at this point, but haven't wanted to make that investment. You'll need to alter your diet (eat more) and research what types of supplements you want to invest in. I recommend supplements. I tried going without, but they really help you take the next step as your body plateaus.

I'll respond with most likely, because there are 2 locations on the weight bar for hanging extra weights. The deal is you have to purchase the 2 extra weights to match the total weight you want to achieve.

There are 25 pound weights for each side along with 10 and 5 pound weights and 2.5 pounds - so depending on you and your fitness level you could add quite a bit. Me - I usually am doing about 15 pounds per side so 30 pounds weight plus the bar...I've been doing it awhile. I try to increase with more weight as I get to a plateau and I'm trying to challenge myself as I get stronger!

With the hand straps attached the bands are 5 feet long. So you can use it by one end in each hand and use your foot as the attachment point, meaning the band goes under your foot and your stretch the ends with your hands. This is pretty common and will work fine for you. You can also use them by attaching one end to something stationary that will hold the force you apply to it. I use mine by attaching one end to my very heavy elliptical machine. To get more resistance just add more bands together. Hope this helps.

I used to be that heavy as well and can relate to questioning if this product can support you. I can tell you that you shouldn't have a problem as long as you follow the p90x routine. In the routine, Tony will suggest using a chair or bucket to support the weight if your having difficulty. You could used that method to lower the load on the pull up bar. Also, try to use metal anchor screws.

I've loaded them up plenty of times with my Iron Master quick lock dumbbells with the 120lb add on kit and they're just fine. I'm not strong enough for 150 :).
