Why Pull Ups?
Pull ups are a great way to strengthen your entire upper body. This multi-purpose exercise is composed of complex movements that allow you to engage multiple muscle groups. This offers a few distinct advantages such as a more efficient workout and decreased risk of injury.
Want to add pull ups into your workout routine don’t think you can?
Our bands will give you the help you need so you can capitalize on all the great benefits pull ups have to offer.
Why Bands?
Our bands offer pull up assistance, but unlike machines, the bands allow you a full range of motion, ensuring you develop all your muscles. Want to increase the assistance from medium to maximum? Simply stretch the circular band further up to 2.5 times its original length.
Which band is right for me?
We get asked this all the time. We typically suggest a set of bands that corresponds to providing about half of their body weight in assistance to get them over the bar. For some people we might suggest a single band, but usually, we recommend a combination. Why you ask? Since the bands are all the same length, you can combine multiple bands to equal the same assistance as others. When you start you, you can use all the bands in the combo to provide the most assistance. As you get you can remove one of the bands to lower the assistance to account for your new strength. For example, a purple combined with a black band offers roughly the same amount of resistance as a green band while giving you three different levels of assistance (one with the black band, one with the purple band and one with both bands together).

Perfect for building pull-up strength over time I love these bands for assisted pull-ups, and a multipack set like this saves you a lot of money. I weigh 115lbs and could only do 1 unassisted pull-up prior to purchasing these bands. After three weeks of using a combination of the black and red bands (together) to perform sets of 15 assisted pull-ups, I can now do 4-5 unassisted at a time. I’m moving down to just using the black bands for my assisted set, then when I can easily pump out 15 with that band, will move down to the red, then the…
These are great for my purpose I literally just received this band set, so clearly I haven’t use them long enough to know if they’ll last. I will come back and do another review after a while. But from what I can tell, and using it so far, they are sturdy, thick enough for my needs, and feel/look like they’ll last a while. I am able to do everything I need to do with them as far as my workout goes, which is a mixture of strength training moves & such. These bands feel great using. The item arrived on time packaged securely,…
