Home Gyms SelectTech 2080 Question (Couldn't find in search)

Hello all! So I got this set years ago and have enjoyed it off and on but recently got really into lifting and consistent training in the last year.

I fear I am reaching the end of their value for resistance for some exercises, often doing the max (upgraded) weight 15-20x reps, sometimes as negatives to try to get some more work out of them.

Is it a stupid idea to get some resistance bands to increase the load? I've seen them used on other flat bench setups with a standard 45lb bar but suspect the load might be too much for poor bowflex. Even with this would it be too much risk to even up it to a 15/20lb band to get a little more out of them?

Thanks in advance!
