Band-Assisted Pull-Up
Also called: banded pull-up, assisted pull-up
No demo clip here — the movement is coached inside the session itself. Every workout in the library is a follow-along.
Coaching cues
- start from a full hang every rep
- drive the elbows down to your ribs
- chin over the bar, chest to the bar
- control the way down, don't let the band shoot you up
Common mistakes
- using a band so thick the top is effortless
- cutting the bottom of the rep short
- letting the hips swing behind the band
- never moving to a thinner band
Take care with: shoulder, elbow. Members who list these injuries never see this exercise in a program.
Easier: Negative Pull-Up
