I bought a couple of simple ones from Walmart to keep myself preoccupied with something beneficial when I'm stuck at my desk on four hour shifts. It's whatever. I saved the receipt though. I might not even use the jump rope I bought. I'm kinda hating not having more than $3 in my bank account at the moment and I want to get a little drunk before classes start up again.

I've got some resistance bands lying around, but the only thing I really use them for is isometric exercises. Since the resistance is variable, I feel like they have an advantage over weights for isometrics. Sometimes I might use weights and a band in combination for this, and I only really do it for shoulder and arm isolation.

IIRC the Westside Barbell program uses them a lot.

If the resistance is high enough, I don't see why they couldn't be a good replacement for weights in exercises such as curls.

resistance is resistance…though i'd recommend using bands that you can mount like a cable pulley

Scooby suggests that those may not be as strong as the flat ones.
