I already have my TRX and V-Max weight-vest, so you can tell that I put money into some of the best workout aids on the market.

While reading an article in Men's Health this past month about Drew Brees, I learned about Superbands. They are super-elastic bands that will, quite literally, never break. They are like the bands that people see in the gym with the handle, but these have no handles. It is just one huge piece of elastic.

According to all of the research I have done, they can be used in literally every type of exercise imaginable.

Let's take an example here -- bench press. We all know that when you get to the top of your push, you kind of take a breather. These bands attached to both sides and then a weight on the floor, will make the top of your hold, as hard, if not harder, than the bottom of your hold. They are also great for burnouts on chinups, tricep extensions, etc.

I ordered 2x of the short ones and 1x of the longer one (for more leg-oriented and explosive exercises).

I encourage you guys to check them out!

The gym I workout at is planning on getting chains, I hear they are really nice and pretty similar to the way bands work.

Yeah chains are great as well. Chains are more for drop sets though. Superbands are for everything.

Squats with bands would be killer
