ok, and why? how much are they?

you can find them at http://www.elitefts.com or http://www.jumpstretch.com

the advantages of bands have been talked about soooooooo many times so i dont want to sound like a record, but you should go read some of westsides articles. read the one on accomodating resistance. pretty much (in layman's terms) they make you faster which in turn makes you lift bigger weights. they are a must if you really want to get strong.

Does Jumpstretch OWN this market? Isn't there other cheaper sources? Its just rubber after all?

i don't think it's very expensive. if you just buy the minis, you can easily put them to work on the bench. a big $20.

For the initial investment,(for bench purposes) start with a pair of mini's and the green bands. Untill you get up super strong(500+ on the bench) these should hold you over. I was just thinking theres over a bazillion exercises you could do with this setup.
