How to perform Band-Assisted Pull-Up
- Secure a long loop band over a pull-up bar and test the attachment before loading it.
- Place one knee or foot in the band, take an overhand grip, and begin from a controlled hang with the shoulders active.
- Pull the elbows down and back until the chin clears the bar without kicking or arching excessively.
- Pause briefly, then lower under control to full elbow extension while keeping the band aligned.
- Step out carefully and repeat for the prescribed repetitions.
