Band Assisted Pull Up

Band assisted pull-ups aid in strength building by reducing the weight you have to lift, utilizing a band for support.

Instructions

• Set up a resistance band on a pull-up bar.
• Place your foot or knee into the band loop to help counterbalance your weight.
• Grab the pull-up bar with an overhand grip, hands shoulder-width apart.
• Engage your core and pull yourself up until your chin is above the bar.
• Slowly lower yourself back to the start position.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Using momentum to swing up instead of pulling.
• Not engaging the core throughout the movement.
• Failing to lower all the way down, reducing range of motion.
