Just to rehab yourself a bit, not forever.
Yup I know bro, though bands in general are a fantastic addition to many "heavy" exercises IMO. If your body aches in a squat type movement on a machine or smith press the addition of bands makes it feel much more gentle on your joints while making it "harder," at least in my experience.
Banded deads is the KING of exercises if you want to experience the most MAX effort and the maximum PAIN your body and mind is capable of

This shit felt like 900lbs at the top and I've done lockouts with 900. When a group of us started trying out these bands some of us missed with a bar loaded with 135lbs. Has to be experienced to understand how awesome heavy banded deads feel
