Variable resistance from elastic bands provide greater resistance as the band is stretched, causing increased tension within the band that's exceptionally useful in terms of the bench press and similar lifts.

Furthermore, the resistance produced by elastic bands is largely independent of gravity, which increases the tension on the muscle during specific portions of the lift.

While free weights can only provide resistance in a vertical plane (because of gravity), elastic bands can provide resistance in the horizontal plane as well, thereby allowing you to add resistance to a greater number of functional movement patterns, as well as provide constant tension to the target muscles.

So for instance, free - weight biceps curls provide little muscle tension at the top of the concentric phase, due to the prominent horizontal movement of the weight, while adequately positioned elastic bands will provide a consistent level of resistance on the biceps throughout the entire range of motion, thus stimulating greater muscle growth.

And because elastic bands don't rely on gravity to provide resistance, their use makes it possible to change the emphasis placed on muscles on certain exercises by changing the direction of the pull.

Variable resistance training is what you're seeing when a lifter adds elastic bands or chains to the bar before a lift, which has the effect of increasing the resistance at the point where you are strongest, which is when the bar is farther from your body, and reduce it where you're weakest or when the bar is closer to your body.
