So I can't go to the gym as often as I'd like now, and my lone bench and powerblock at home is a bit limiting in what I can do. I bought a set of bodylastics resistance bands to test. I admit my preonceptions about these (I mean come on- they're rubber bands), but they're great. I can do basically all pull down exercises now and the resistance is the real deal! Anybody else have experience with them?

Also, I have 3 disc herniations and with back surgery, I'm mostly recovered but I do feel it after heavy gym days. I think the resistance without the weight pushing down on my spine is a huge plus. I'm tempted to train mostly with these bands for a few weeks to see how my strength goes.
