Like a big elastic band. You loop it over the bar and put your foot in it and it takes some of your weight reducing the effort needed to do a pull-up. Once you've got a bit of a routine going and built into it you can then do a single full pull up and build from there.

There's a few YouTube clips with progressions and stuff to help.

I think I have one somewhere. What I was querying was whether, by "resin stance", you meant "resistance". I think autocorrect got at your post.
