REP Pull-Up Bands?á
Resistance bands have many uses, including pull up assistance, adding resistance to stretches and bodyweight exercises, as well as adding resistance to the barbell for many different lifts.
Pull up bands are great for working your way up to a full un-assisted pullup. Pull-ups are one of the best ways to build your back and biceps, and the bands are best used wrapped around a pull-up bar and then around your knees to help provide assistance. Choose the band you need based on how much assistance you need.
These bands can also be used as strength bands, which are generally refering to using the bands for adding resistance to the barbell. If your rack has band pegs, you can wrap the bands around the pegs and around the sleeve on your barbell to add resistance to many exercises. Strength bands are great for adding resistance at the easier parts of the lift, such as the top of your bench press, due to the increasing resistance as the bands are stretched.
