Thanks .. resistance bands are really good now. They let you get a lot of muscle exhaustion and fatigue without stressing the joints. shockingly good for the core too. Not the way to go for silly bodybuilding extremes but very good for building and maintaining an impressive amount of muscle with less stress on the joints and tendons at the initial ranges of motion of many exercises. The time under tension is actually really high using these.
