In this article we will assess the two and how-to best use each.
The Difference
Both resistance bands and free weights build muscle. Some will have handles that you can hold onto and others will not. You can also use them by anchoring them to doors and walls.

Both have their advantages and disadvantages and there is no reason why you cannot incorporate both into your at-home gym practice
