Can you please explain or provide reasoning in terms of physics ideas to the prompt? Please explain to me the differences

Cable machine vs. resistance bands. Your two exercise friends are debating which exercise equipment is better for strength training. One prefers the cable machine, where iron weights are attached to a cable and simple pulleys. You can pull on the handle of a cable to lift the weights. Another friend prefers resistance bands, which are elastic bands that can be attached to a frame so that one can make the same range of motion. Many materials, including elastic bands, approximately follow Hooke's law within a certain range of motion1 so we can treat them as if they were springs. In a few sentences, how do you explain the differences between exercises between cable machines and resistance bands with respect to the force one has to apply? Assume the range of motion for any particular exercise is the same and that the weights and bands are chosen so that the maximum applied force is the same for each device
