Resistance bands are dogshit

Not enough resistance in the eccentric and too much resistance in the concentric. They're only good for supplementing barbell exercises.

I'd suggest you just get some weights and do a full-body split 3x/week as a beginner.

 

[Matt.w]

No lie i don't know wtf that means. Dividing up exercises into 3 muscle groups to be done on 3 days throughout the week? Or 3 days of full body each week?
