PROIRON Pull-Up Assist Bands are the most effective tool for progressing toward unassisted pull-ups, providing the precise amount of assistance needed to complete each rep while building the strength necessary to eventually go unassisted. Loop the band around a pull-up bar, place your foot or knee in the loop, and the band reduces your effective body weight by its resistance rating. As you get stronger, switch to lighter bands to reduce assistance progressively. The 41-inch closed loop format is also useful for barbell deadlift warm-ups, banded push-ups for added challenge, chest stretching, and shoulder mobility work. Thick heavy-duty latex construction withstands thousands of repetitions without degrading or losing elasticity. For anyone working toward their first pull-up or looking to increase pull-up volume beyond their current max, these bands are an essential training tool.
