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).
