[QUOTE="Saul, post: 102874, member: 16541"] Seem way too expensive to use bands - look at your arms - if my arms got to be that size I would have to buy new shirts, would cost a fortune. Joking aside, I have shoulder issues and have stopped doing lifts that lock my arms into position. For example, I use barbells for bench press instead of a straight bar. Same with lat pull downs, military press. I try to stay with barbells or cables to allow my shoulders to move to a position that is best for it to avoid impingement. That is where I think the bands would be good because they let the joint move in its natural rotation which is not confined by a bar or machine. That and the increased resistance near the end of the joint extension. There is some discussion of this on the net about a straight bar for bench press locking the arms in position and that it does not work the pecs as well or allow the pecs/shoulders to move in their nature rotation.
