Substitute Resistance Bands For Pull-Ups & Chin-Ups
I can do chin-ups/pull-ups without issue, just don’t have a compatible doorway for a removable bar. Which level/lb resistance bands should I be using to compensate and substitute these workouts?

If you can’t use a removable pull-up bar, then what you need is a door anchor like the one shown in the Bodylastics resistance bands set above. You just stick the large foam part on the other side of a closed door, the top of the door.
Pull-ups hit the lats and chin-ups, too, but also the biceps.
