But did you die?
nah almost lol I couldn’t breathe my mask was all sweat and I was working with the bands on the press and I go for 20 reps first 10 in good last 10 I’m dying so I’m pushing through can’t breathe no resting point cause the resistance from the bands I finish go to stand up and fall back down I was done
do you workout with bands? What other exercise would you recommend?

If you didn't die you ain't doing it right.
...
No, I don't use bands or other types of accommodating resistance. Nothing wrong with bands and chains, in and of themselves, but I lol when I see cats that are moving baby weights steady tryna add chains and shyt to every lift. Just lift heavier. If you're worried about strength curves and sticking points before you can put up decent weight, you've already low-key lost.
At my main gym it's a breh and his cac friend, both these muhfukkas weak as hell, couldn't put up 225 on bench for reps pre-covid without a spot, but every time I see these fools they busy tryna add chains to the bench press, or high box squatting bytch weight.
As for exercises, assuming you're not permanently injured (i.e. able-bodied), I always tell people to focus on the major lifts and not so much on the accessory movements. Majoring in the minors is a good way to either spin your wheels, getting you nowhere, or to progress slower than you otherwise could. Ever seen gym regulars that look like shyt? Their exercise selection (along with diet) is most likely straight trash.
For legs, squats and deadlifts should make up the bulk of your training. Leg press, leg curls, inner/outer thigh machine, lunges, split squats, and glute-ham raises are also good as accessories, but they shouldn't be done with the same intensity as squats/deads.

you can use a weighted vest to increase the load on bodyweight moves such as squats, lunges, push-ups, and pull-ups to increase the demand on your muscles and induce strength- and endurance-related muscle gains, too.
