Execution Steps:
- Setup: Attach a resistance band to the pull-up bar and secure it around one knee or foot.
- Grip: Grip the bar with hands shoulder-width apart, palms facing away (overhand grip) or toward you (underhand grip).
- Starting Position: Hang from the bar with arms fully extended.
- Pull-Up: Pull elbows down and back, engaging your back muscles to lift your chin above the bar.
- Lowering: Slowly lower yourself back to the starting position, maintaining control.
General Tips:
- Focus on Back: Look up and focus on using your back muscles throughout the movement.
- Core Engagement: Keep your core tight to maintain stability.
- Avoid: Swinging your body or using momentum.
- Breathing: Exhale as you pull up, inhale as you lower.
Modification Tips:
- Band Selection: Choose a band with appropriate resistance to help you perform the exercise with good form.
- Progression: Start with the band around your knee for more assistance, and progress to your foot as you get stronger.
