lately i have been incorporating resistance bands into my training. i have an adjustable band that can be adjusted to 3 levels. with all 3 bands on at once(note: there are 3 bands for each arm) the resistance is very high. i have found that doing pushing and pulling exercises against this resistance has greatly improved my core strength, since i have to stabilize my own body against the resistance as well as push/pull against it. i had'nt tried it before but i feel that it has improved my strength better than just free weights alone have done.
