Pull-ups are one of the best exercises you can do for your back. The problem is not many people can do many repetitions. If you cannot complete at least 10 pull-ups we recommend that you utilize lat pull downs instead. When you are able to complete 10 repetitions there are a lot of variations you can do with your pull-ups. This is an example of a variation.
Strap a Ballistic Band around your squat rack. You will notice that you have two bands now moving across the middle area. As you see in the video, you can stand on two bands or one to get more or less help during the pull-ups.
The drops are completed by going from the heaviest amount of weight you can lift, on too lighter and lighter to take your body to complete failure. Complete the max amount of repetitions that you can do with a normal pull up, one band of assistance, and then two bands of assistance. If you have a partner standing around you can even have them add an additional drop with manual assistance.
Ballistic Bands And Pull-Ups
Ballistic Bands can be a great way to add assistance during pull-ups. Whether you’ve looped them around the pull-up bar and place them around your knee, strap them wide as you see in the video, or stretch them around your hips, you will see that they are very unique.
