Yes. Resistance bands. Get a set. Cheap, portable, levels up your body weight routine game. Equal attention given to both eccentric and concentric movement of any given exercise. As you mentioned, easier on the joints. If active longevity, mobility & flexibility are as important to your fitness goals as shear strength, then resistance bands are an integral key to that kingdom. Strength + Speed = Power. Being Fighter fit/Fireman fit/Soldier fit translates more readily to real world applications and a functional life than gettin' swole for swole's sake. I never travel without a set of bands. And speaking of functionally fit, don't sleep on those kettlebells.
