I have the Expanderset since about 8 weeks in almost daily use and can say that just offer the neoprene covered handles a distinct advantage over its competitors. They have significantly more grip, not slip off even with wet hands and give me enough support. The instructions supplied with many, extensive exercises have helped me a lot, at least not to lose the goal "Summer figure" out of sight. Personally, I would recommend this product without restrictions. Delivery and service through Amazon as I'm used to it, great!
