The benefit: This exercise allows you to do full chinups, even if you've never managed a single one. Plus, it more accurately mimics the movement than lat pulldowns or the assisted chinup machine. All you need is a chinup bar and a large rubber band called a SuperBand.
How to do it: Loop one end of a SuperBand around a chinup bar and then pull it through the through the other end of the band, cinching it tightly to the bar. (The thicker the band you buy, the more assistance it will provide.) Grab the bar with a shoulder-width, underhand grip, and place your knees in the loop of the band. Hang at arm's length [A]. Perform a chinup by pulling the top of your chest to the bar [B]. Pause, then slowly lower your body back to the starting position.
