Are resistance bands any good?

rubadub · 2007-01-03 09:40:05

Are you able to get good muscle growth using resistance bands? or are they a more lightweight exercise. Could you do squats with them? I was thinking a combination of weights and bands to do safer squats at home. Are there any useful sites about them? or where to buy them?

I've heard, although I've never tried, using them with weights for benching can be very effective for strength gains, as it forces your muscles to work hard through the full movement.
