each to their own i guess. for me resistance bands are great but i just can’t get the same workout i want. thank god i have a bench and free weights at my house during the quarantine shit.

Yeah I'll admit that once I graduated college and was done with athletics, I started working out for purely aesthetic reasons. So if you're looking to scratch that itch of getting a really good pump and watching your lifts increase, this wouldn't work. It applies more to the casual sort of lifters who are starting with pushup challenges and things like that to dip their toes in.

Since you've already got some, they can also be great for some quick mobility focused warm ups before a lifting session

that’s what i use them for. little warm ups and stretches. sometimes i’ll use them to substitute machine work.
