I'm a huge fan of chin-ups and pull-ups. While many believe the bench press is the "king" of upper body exercises, chin-ups and pull-ups work substantially more muscle. The only draw back of chins and pulls is that they require one to have an above average level of muscular fitness, and many beginners are not able to perform even one proper pull-up or chin-up. Luckily, there is a solution for the beginner who wants to reap the benefits of this great exercise, but who does not yet possess the necessary level of strength to perform body weight repetitions. The band assisted chin-up.
The band will give one a "boost" at the beginning and through the midpoint of the exercise, and will allow them to perform multiple repetitions. Starting with a stronger and larger band, and then progressing to a smaller band over time as you get stronger is a sure fire recipe to ultimately allow you to perform body weight reps without any assistance. Check out the video below and start incorporating this great exercise into your workouts:
