home gym routine

so here is an interesting development

about a week or so ago i bumped up the weights and i was hitting it pretty decent, 3,4 times a week
doing alright
no change in weight, but i can tell im getting more toned (specially my dominant, left arm)

then i had a birthday and a friend gave me a set of "resistance bands"
its a basic set, 5 different rubber bands, 2 handles and a door stop

depending on where in the door you put it, you can do most of what i do on my weight tower and its about half the size of my wifes purse, so pretty cool setup

now, here comes to interesting thing...when i work out with the bands im running lower weights then with the tower BUT i get more sore

im thinking it is because on the tower, im moving weight from one set point, over a guided trajectory to another set point, but with these bands, im guessing im exercising what i guess are called stabilizer muscles

so, im thinking of tossing those in, just rotating them every other day

also , with the bands, i think i can eliminate the dominant arm growth since the each arm needs work for its self...where as the tower i guess, the dominant arm powers through and the non dominant just kinda follows
