Low Row with Band
Attach two bands (any size, depending on your strength level), each to one side of the power rack. Run a lat pull bar through the middle of the bands.
Leg Raises with Mini Band (med ball)
Loop a mini band to a power rack or other stable piece of equipment.
Close Grip Chain Lockouts
This is a great exercise to increase your lockout strength and is a good variation on the standard rack lockout.
Fat Bar - Reverse Band Press
This movement is performed by attaching a band around the top of your power rack.
Bench Pressing w/ Bands Around Wrists

Band Resisted Pull-Ups
To do this exercise, anchor two bands to either side of the rack and run them through your belt.
GHR Ab Crunch
This is a great ab exercise. It works really well on a glute ham raise because of the curved pad, but if you can find another piece of equipment to do it on, by all means, get creative!
