I've been using them for years; I took a job where I was on the road a lot, and they're way better than hotel gyms. I like them better for arms than weights. Middlin to very good for upper back and shoulders. Buy a chest expander. "The Hook" by Sierra exercise[0] or Samson Cable Set[1]. Then read "Fatman's guide to cable training."[2] Useless for lower body, and they build a fairly different kind of upper body strength; more useful for grappling than picking up barbells. The True Archer Pull is pretty amazing as an exercise and should be considered a standard feat of strength the same way as the deadlift, IMO. They make a great combination with sandbags and/or kettlebells and are now part of my staple exercises (unnatural garbage like bench press are long gone).
