Pull-up bars
We're using a series of exercises, rather than rubberbands, to progress toward unassisted pull-ups and kipping pull-ups. Bar hangs, shoulder activation with straight arms, kip swings and brachiating (both of those small and conservative for beginners), jumping pull-ups, and negatives can all help build shoulder, grip, and lat strength.
The pull-up bar brackets came from Rogue Fitness. The bars are one-inch black iron pipe. Our perfectionist carpenter (thank goodness for him) made the brackets level enough to thread the pipe through with no problems.

The wood wall looks rad!
I really liked your piece on Pull-up progressions above.
