- Lats
- Also works
- Biceps
- Equipment
- Pull-up bar, resistance bands
How to do it
- Loop a band over the bar and put one knee or foot in the loop.
- Hang with straight arms, then pull yourself up until your chin clears the bar.
- Lower slowly back to straight arms — don’t let the band fling you up.
Common mistakes
- Bouncing off the band at the bottom.
- Pulling with your arms only instead of driving your elbows down.
