Resistance bands are far superior for some movements, such as chest fly, shoulder raises etc, because they provide constant resistance against the muscle, rather than hammering the joint against gravity at the end of the eccentric part of the movement.

The big downside is that the old school "hur dur clang some metal and eat steak" brigade don't like them...

Ha!

As per some of the comments...

Have long have you been using them, QR?

I'm assuming yours is assistance based, not solely training with them?

Do you note any changes, like form, injury, any growth?

I train in the garage, so they've allowed me to add some movements that I otherwise couldn't do without machines, hamstring curls for example.

Biggest addition is the lack of shoulder pain from flyes, it's just worth it in itself.

I have just bought a set of the bodylastics extreme bands and kit off ebay. Have also subscribed to the workout channels.

I have no room for any weights and was not a massive lover of lifting weights anyway. Never used bands but I am looking forward to giving them ago.
 
I've got a set ordered for next week, 50 odd notes.

I'm half a stone overweight and I don't want to drop down if I get COVID if the wife does have it. I'll need the extra weight to battle through.

Even it helps tone me up and keep me active, but keep the weight, it'll be worth it.

I have no idea if that'll be the case, though.
Half a stone? Just cut out carbs for a month and you lose well more than that.

I shit half a stone!
