The Bionic Body BBEB-20 Exercise Bar by Kim Lyons is a fantastic resistance training accessory that allows you to use resistance bands to perform classic strength training moves such as the Chest Press, Squat and more. This durable 2-piece bar is compatible with all resistance bands and can enhance your resistance training routine in a big way for only a small price. Here are five Bionic Body Exercise Bar strength training workout variations to get a total body workout:
1. THE SQUAT
The Squat is a highly effective compound movement that engages your entire body. Performing Squats on a regular basis will allow you to gain strength, build muscle, burn fat, increase your endurance and more. Here’s how to perform a Squat using a Resistance Tube and Exercise Bar:
2. THE CLOSED LEG SQUAT
The Closed Leg Squat is an exercise that is unique to resistance band and tube training. Due to the absence of heavy weights, you can perform variations such as this one safely and effectively virtually anywhere. This Squat variation will allow you to work your calves, glutes and hamstrings from a slightly different angle than you would with the classic Squat. Here’s how to do it:
3. THE CHEST PRESS
The Chest Press, also known as the Bench Press, is a classic strength training exercise that is often performed with dumbbells or a barbell while seated on a bench. This popular movement primarily works your pectorals, deltoids and triceps, among other muscles, while also burning fat. With just a Bionic Body Resistance Tube, Door Anchor and Exercise Bar, you can experience the powerful effects of this muscle-building workout almost anywhere. Here’s how to do it:
4. THE DECLINE CHEST PRESS
The Decline Chest Press will work similar muscles to that of the traditional Chest Press movement discussed above but it will work them from a slightly different angle. This variation is a great add-on to the Chest Press if you are trying to achieve an overall stronger upper body. With just a few Bionic Body resistance training products you are able to perform this move safely and effectively. Here’s how to do it:
5. THE ROW

When performed properly, this move will also engage your traps and strengthen your core. Much like the above four exercises, the Row can be performed safely, effectively and affordably with just a few Bionic Body resistance training products. Here’s how to do it:
