Your First Pull-Up, In Stages
Nobody gets a pull-up by failing at pull-ups. You get one by doing the actual movement, with good form, for enough reps to adapt — which means removing some bodyweight until you can. An assist band does exactly that, and it does it progressively: as you get stronger you move to a thinner band, taking off less help, until one day you take off none. It’s the same tool powerlifters use for banded squats and deadlifts.
Key Benefits
- Progressive assistance — step down band thickness as you get stronger
- Train the real movement instead of substituting lat pulldowns
- Also adds resistance to squats, deadlifts and bench for advanced lifters
- Doubles as a mobility tool for banded shoulder and hip distractions
- Heavy-duty layered latex built for bodyweight loads
- Also works for stretching and warm-ups
How to Use
Loop the band over the bar and pull it through itself. Place one foot or knee in the bottom loop, grip the bar and pull. The band gives most help at the bottom, where you’re weakest — which is exactly where you want it. Start with a band that lets you complete 5 to 8 clean reps. Keep your face clear of the band when mounting and dismounting, and inspect for tears before every session.
