[QUOTE="Mountain Man, post: 102816, member: 14411"] Because the initial movement of any exercise is easy and it gets harder throughout the movement. Take a curl for example. If you are curling 45 lbs you are moving all of it from the start and then less after the midpoint. With a band, the movement is easy initially but very hard at the end. More muscle and less joint. Your joints are not taxed, the muscles are. Google resistancebandtraining.com . Watch the exercises and see what I'm talking about. When the muscle is at its strongest point, resistance is greatest and when the joint is most vulnerable, resistance is light to non existent. And, trust me, they are a great workout. I dropped 8% body fat and gained 7 lbs body weight age 62 to 64. Granted, it could also happen with weights, but I know me. I would have gotten hurt somewhere during that time. I've been training almost continuously since 1967 and the past 15 were a battle with injuries. Stallone can afford TRT, HGH, stem cell therapy and whatever is out there. I can't, so I got to be smart. [/QUOTE]
