Serious Steel 32ft Resistance Training Bands - Better Tension

In this review of the Serious Steel 32' Resistance Training Bands the bottom line is simple: these bands are designed for people under 5'10' who want consistent resistance through the entire range of motion. The reviewer found that the shorter 32' length removes the slack you often get with standard 41' bands, which keeps muscles engaged during the whole rep. This set is a practical, portable alternative for resistance training, mobility work, and warm ups, though it is explicitly not intended for pull up assistance or users over 5'10'.

Key Features

• Designed length: The 32' length maintains tension for users under 5'10', preventing slack at the bottom of movements and improving muscle engagement.
• Complete set: Includes bands #0 through #5 so users get a wide range of starting resistances for progressive workouts and varied exercises.
• Layered construction: Built with 15 layers of continuous latex for durability during repeated training and stretching sessions.
• Portable: Lightweight and compact, the bands travel easily for training at home, the gym, or while away.
• Board system compatible: Works well with resistance board systems when used with a Band Guard to protect bands from sharp corners.

Who It's For

These bands are best for people under 5'10' (70') who want a resistance set that starts with tension immediately and supports resistance training, mobility, and stretching. They are a good match for home workouts, warm ups, and athletes who use resistance boards and need shorter bands to match their range of motion.

Users who regularly do pull ups or who are over 5'10' should look at longer options, as the 32' bands are not intended for pull up assistance and may be overstretched by taller individuals. For heavy overhead compound movements that need extra length, consider a 41' alternative.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Shorter 32' length keeps tension on the band through full range of motion for shorter users.
• Set covers a wide range of resistances so you can progress without buying separate bands.
• Durable 15-layer continuous latex construction stands up to repeated use.
• Easy to pack and take anywhere for consistent training on the go.

Cons

• Not suitable for pull up assistance and not recommended for users over 5'10'.
• May require a Band Guard when used with resistance boards to prevent edge wear.

Specifications

Our Verdict

The Serious Steel 32' Resistance Training Bands are a smart choice for shorter users who need consistent tension throughout each rep; they pack a useful range of resistances into a durable, portable set. They deliver good value for targeted resistance training and mobility work, but taller users or those needing pull up assistance should choose longer bands designed for those uses.
