I bought my stretch bands from Iron woody, good price too. I usually use them on a smith smachine for pressing movemts, that should sort out any balance issue, or one side taking up the slack.
Also don't use them for more then 4 weeks at a time, they will cause you to massivley overtrain. Use a 4 week on 4 week off approach.
When used for squats, they increase your vertical jump noticebly too.

For different type off band exercises.
Someone wrote not to have big muscles like a body builder, true very true, most bodybuilders have about 20-60 pound of unused muscle, they've gained doing excerises that don't actually have pratical reason for being that size, but thats all a body builder is, its thier art just to build a body of muscle.
Where as a strength athlete has real strength that can be used in a fight, not just muscle for show.
A body builder uses weights to build thier muslces, a strength athlete or powerlifter uses thier muscle to lift the weight, kinda direct opposites!
Another pet peeve I have with bodybuilding is that, its not deemed aesthetic to build the midsection up, not so much the abbs but the obliques and other side muscle, because it takes away the v-taper they think is so good. But these muscles offer so much in strength return especially for a grappler where body twists when in the clinch will rely on these.
Just my opinion
