They're okay, depending on what your goals are. But they aren't the be-all, end-all by a long shot.

I guess I would say that they're good for certain kinds of 'functional' fitness (altho, to be clear, all fitness improves function), but if your goals are hypertrophy or power, they're not going to get you there.

FWIW I was RKC ceertified (although my certification has lapsed).

Yes, my goals are mostly functional fitness, not hypertrophy nor power
