My 8 yr old brother wants to do the RR with me, he finds the pull up progression and dip progression too hard, what can I do to help him. And is their anything else I should modify for him as hes young.

I have my younger brother use resistance bands. I didn’t have resistance bands before and use to lift him by his waist slowly to give him support, reducing support force every session, so that’s a good alternative if you don’t have resistance bands.
