The bands allow for an array of angles and I can duplicate the weight exercises and do not spend time changing plates. The bands are far easier on my joints and the exercise is smooth allowing increased resistance as you go through the range of motion. If you are interested, the best quality product on the market is "Bodylastics". As most hotels have now removed weights from their gyms, the bodylastics gym makes a great travel companion.

At the gym I use free weights and cables, but I use bands for at home and when I'm training.
