MKHUIBU Chest Expander 7 Spring Detachable for Man Chest Expander with Aluminum Alloy Handle & Exercise Springs for Home Fitness Muscle Training Body Building

Had many of these things over the years. This one seems pretty good with the handles a bit more substantial than the thin plastic ones that dig into your hands. Note: All these designs are potentially dangerous if you don't check that all the links are in good shape and in line every time you use it! The last one I had stretched the springs beyond their elastic limit, so hopefully this one lasts a bit longer. Personally I can only manage a full stretch with 3 springs. No idea the type of person who can manage 7!

Old fashioned chest expander almost like I had in the old days. This is better built with an aluminum handle though.

I was nervous about this due to reviews of other expanders from the same manufacturer so I was pleasantly surprised. It's obviously not going to be the same quality as a $200+ Baraban but I don't have $200. Pros: The springs seem to have good tension. Two on this is tougher than five "heavy" tubes on my rubber expander. This was a pleasant surprise as the reviews on their other expanders criticized weak springs. Length of springs is good. I am 6'2" with long arms and I can do a full straight arm pull apart. This might be a con to some but for me the one piece handles are a bonus as I don't like rotation when using an expander. It seems to have pretty solid construction as it is quite heavy. Cons: The handles seem to be a lower grade metal like they make the cheap taiji sword handles out of. They feel sturdy but also like they may be somewhat hollow. The clips are kind of a pain in the butt to change. I may try replacing them with mini carabiner. Uses: I intend to use this when traveling and as a supplement to my regular weight training. For more information on cables there are some good articles by Reg Park online and several books with expander courses on Kindle and online.

good product

Spring came loose while I was using it, shattering a window. Luckily I didn’t get hit. Just save up and buy a decent one, not this piece of junk.

It does the job, works great, and has decent amount of resistance.
