How to do the Band Pull Up
- Securely loop a resistance band around a pull-up bar. Place one or both feet into the bottom of the loop band. Grip the pull-up bar with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, palms facing forward.
- Start in a dead hang position with your arms fully extended.
- Pull yourself upward by bending your elbows and driving them down towards your sides, bringing your chin above the bar.
- Lower yourself back to the starting position with control. Repeat for the desired repetitions.
Form tips
- Breathe steadily, exhaling as you pull up and inhaling as you lower yourself.
- Adjust the resistance band to match your strength level. Thicker bands provide more assistance.
- Avoid using momentum; focus on pulling with your back and arms.
