As you know, the band-assisted pullup is an ideal target because it makes an advanced exercise available to almost anyone. All you need is a sturdy pullup bar and a looped resistance band (your choice of thickness). If you're saying to yourself, "I've always wanted to do a pullup but it seems so out of reach," you are not alone. But that changes today. I am launching the Band-Assisted Pullup Challenge! Over the next few days or weeks, you are going to use a resistance band to unload some of your body weight. This will allow you to build perfect form, target the right muscles, and finally conquer the bar. A thick band will give you a MASSIVE boost. It will also assist you at the bottom of the movement, which is the hardest part. Just place your knee in the loop and see how many pullups you can do. Focus on bringing your elbows down to your ribs and getting your chin over the bar. Keep your body in a tight, hollow position. Do not swing or kick your legs.
Are you in? Let's hold each other accountable!
