Band-assisted pull-up
Band-assisted pull-up is an intermediate vertical pull movement that trains lats, biceps, upper_back, done with a pull-up bar or a resistance band. It's a compound lift — it moves more than one joint at a time, which is why it earns a place in most training templates. Typical rep range is 5–10 reps, tempo 1-0-2.
The most common mistake is kipping and half range. If a pull-up bar or a resistance band or the movement itself doesn't suit you, Negative pull-up or Lat pulldown or Assisted pull-up machine cover the same pattern. It's usually held back for shoulder, pregnancy issues — a coach or the substitution list is the safer route on a flare-up.
