Then you will need to step on a bench, insert your foot into the bottom of the band and cross your other ankle on the top to prevent the band from sliding.
The grip on a bar should be slightly wider than the shoulders. Pack your shoulder blades on the back and once you ready, step of the bench. The band will support you.
Engage your core and pull yourself up, so your chin is touching the bar. Slowly lower down.
Do as many reps as you can.
If you can't do this exercise, substitute with Lat Pull-down (see bellow).
