Can resistance bands help with pull ups?

Yes, assisted pull ups are one of the most popular uses for long loop bands. Loop a 41 inch power band over the pull up bar and place your foot or knee in the hanging loop. The band takes a portion of your body weight, making the pull up easier. As you get stronger, use progressively lighter bands until you can do unassisted pull ups. Most people progress from a heavy assist to no band within 4 8 weeks of consistent training.
