How to do resistance band assisted chin up

Coach's Tips

Begin by positioning the band on your foot. Gradually move it up to your knees to increase the difficulty level. Avoid making these changes too swiftly!

Start Position

1. Stand in front of a pull-up bar and grasp it with an overhand grip, slightly wider than shoulder-width.

2. Drape a band over the bar and loop it around your feet.

3. Keep your feet positioned a little wider than hip-width.

4. Extend your arms fully and engage your core muscles.

Proper Form

1. Flex your elbows and pull yourself up until your chin surpasses the bar.

2. Gradually lower yourself back to the starting position.

3. Repeat this movement for the preferred number of repetitions.

Breathing Technique

1. Inhale deeply as you lower yourself downwards.

2. Exhale while pulling yourself upwards.

Precautions

1. Ensure your core is engaged and maintain a straight back throughout the exercise.

2. If the band is excessively tight, adjust it for increased comfort.

3. Avoid jerking your body when pulling yourself up.
