Band Resisted Chin Up
Description
The band resisted chin up adds a resistance band looped around the body or attached to the waist for added load during a chin up. The band increases the resistance, making the chin up harder than bodyweight alone. It is a strong choice for advanced lifters who need additional load for chin up training.
