Bands v Chains

Squat4Life

Which do you prefer and why?

I use bands a lot to help with golf game and being flexible. Great aide.

Faiz

Never used either.

bands have helped my shoulders recently, they dont bother me as much during military press or incline bench like they used to.

Faiz: lookin good man, you have definitely blown up.

I've played with both this week, going with the chains.

I like bands better then chains but the price is out of site. Their is another company makeing bands now that is cheaper then JumpStretch brand but I can not rember their name!!! Chains are cheaper to buy but cost more to ship. Chains were the first metchod of accomadateing resistance but bands took it to a whole new level. It is hard to go wrong with either though. You can only put so many chains on a bar though while you would be hard pressed to runout of space for bands. Bands are also easier to carry to the gym. After a while just lugging the chains around will cut into gas milage and can become a pain inthe rear to lug around.

Each one is different.

I use them both or together.
