Upper body tests
There are no beginner, intermediate or advanced targets for the band-assisted exercises as the intensity will vary depending on the band you select. As a general rule, select the thinnest band you can at least 5 repetitions with.
If you can already perform more than 6+ chin-ups and 10+ dips, it is recommended to start with the Intermediate B-Bars Program.
