Band Assisted Pull-Up

This assisted pull-up variation makes it easier to build the strength and technique needed for unassisted pull-ups. It reduces strain and encourages full range of motion without sacrificing effectiveness.

Instructions

1. Loop a resistance band securely around the center of a pull-up bar.
2. Place one bent knee into the bottom loop, ensuring the band is stable.
3. Take a medium or wide grip on the bar with your arms extended.
4. Pull yourself upward by contracting your lats and bending at the elbows until your chin clears the bar.
5. Lower yourself under control to the starting position. Avoid swinging.
