The old ones are the best
No I don't mean me though I am pretty old. I used Terry's old fashioned chest expanders for years before the springs began to gap. True the handles broke sooner but you can make new ones with a bit of broom handle. In just a few weeks two of the York springs have gapped. Fortunately you get 5 springs and each one is fairly strong. However they feel like you are pulling them beyond the elastic point and don't have the nice smooth feel of Terry's. I don't even have very long arms. York's handles look unlikely to break though. I don't think you can get the Terry's ones anymore so if you just want to prove that you will maintain an exercise regime and don't have long arms, these are a cheap way to start.
OK
When i first tried it, it was impossible. Had to take a few springs off but I guess thats great that I wasn't already at the max tension so I can really go further.
It doesn't come with any exercise instructions which is dissapointing and the plastic covers to protect your skin from gettin pinched by the springs doesn't work well because by the time you have the spring at full stretch the plastic cover hardly takes up any of the surface area of the spring.
Chest Expander?? - False Advertising
I think you'll find the movements available with this device work your upper back, and deltoid muscles.
Think about the range of motion, and effort involved in benchpressing, or chest flye weights exercises, they are pretty much the opposite of the motions possible with this thing.
It's a decent workout for your upper back and shoulders, but it won't do anything for your chest. Sorry folks, start benchpressing or something.
