Resistance bands aren’t just for warmups or rehab. They can be the secret weapon for hypertrophy, functional strength, and joint-friendly training that keeps you performing at your best, no matter your age.&nbsp;In this episode, I break down why bands aren’t second-tier equipment, but a powerhouse tool that can rival dumbbells and barbells when used correctly.I’ll show you how bands challenge your stabilizers, force you to control every rep, and let you train all planes of motion in ways weights simply can’t.&nbsp;This conversation is especially important for men over 40 who want to keep building muscle while staying pain-free and athletic for life.Train smarter anywhere with my official Funk Roberts Resistance Bands.
