    I use them to get biceps, side delts and rear deltd after I’ve done everything else with a pull-up bar

    For rear delts, you can do band pull aparts or face pulls

    For side delts you can do unilateral lateral raises / cable flies with a band

    For biceps you can do cable curls with a band.

    But imo pull-ups, psuedo-planche push-ups, pistol squats and Nordic curls are more bang for your buck for hitting the rest of your body.

          Yeah, I’d appreciate that too. Probably not going to be too good at exercising for a couple months since I’ve lapsed working out for like 18 months.

            For intermediate versions of the push ups, you can try typewriter push ups or diamond push ups

            For the pistol squat, you can do it while holding on to something or just do the part where you go down but not the part where you stand back up

            For the Nordic curls, you can use your hands to help! Just push against the floor

            For pull ups, you can jump up to the bar and then lower yourself as slowly as possible
