P90X Pull Ups with a Resistance Band

[younggun708]

Cool I think I'm gonna do that since none of the doors in my house are the right size or set up correctly for the pull up bar i got... ><

[donavanharris22]

Thank you so much! There are definitely alternative workouts that work the same muscles used during pull-ups and this is one of them!

[hoopgirl245]

Man the bands scare the shit out of me lol...i mean ur like "PULL" ...(POP)!!!!...Honey call the plastic surgeon lol.

[DragonballZ59]

i have the bands but i dont think im getting the most out of them the heaviest one i have is the green 40

[evilunixuser1]

Really cool - but pullups? Look more like rows to me.

[awesomest230]

@k13ren lol I had the same question..and thanks @LyncHHung1 :)

[LeoArif1]

Awesome thanks

[LifeImageFilms]

Great tips

[k13ren]

what brand are those, and do the bands actually weigh 80 pounds of something (sorry for my stupidity) the heavier the bands, the harder?

[LyncHHung1]

@k13ren no, the bands don't weigh that much. it's the thickness and sturdiness of the bands that give more resistance. some thick bands can give 100 lbs of resistance... it's not the actual weight of the bands. hope that helps.

If I used this on a door, will it damage it?

[leegreenP90X]

@PyroNinjafication I have used a band with a door attachment or with a knot in the band in the crack of a closed door. seems to be fine, but i imagine it could bow a door

[josephga01]

I use bands as well. I use bodylastics

[leegreenP90X]

@josephga01 hat are bodylastics?

[hoagiehounds]

@leegreenP90X bodylastics is a company that sells resistance bands, and their bands are great.

[xquickstrykex]

I haven't tried it yet but i'm gonna wrap my bands around one of my cross beams in the garage or perhaps a pipe running through the rafters in the garage, you think that's a good idea?

[leegreenP90X]

@xquickstrykex in the videos they hang all of they bands from pipes, but i assuming they are reinforced. If i did it I would have a strong band I trust and a reinforced pipe that does not contain water pressure

[slim79980]

Great idea! Thanks

[slliks67]

I just brought lifeline yesterday but i have the handles with the three band holes so when the weight get easy i can just add on. handles were 11$ and the bands vary according to which weight you get. Sports Authority

[leegreenP90X]

@slliks67 good bands love them

[TheGreenman404]

wow i have the green lifeline band like you have , i just noticed it, man it gives me 80lbs. of resistance . I luv the lifeline products.

[kpxflameboy]

imagine if that snapped on you....o_O

[leegreenP90X]

@kpxflameboy - one of the reasons I don't use a cheap band.

[CotDamn85]

what is the brand of bands that you are using?

[leegreenP90X]

@CotDamn85 Lifeline

[Ikefis]

Yea I used the 60 lb and the 30 lb bad to help with pull up training. Never really got anything from negative or jumping pull ups, but the bands are the ticket. Went from 0 to 7 in 9 weeks of power band training...now I've passed them on to my 18 y/o daughter.

[leegreenP90X]

You get them at Sports Authority

[DethCoveredHoneyBuns]

@leegreenP90X Yes I actually just picked up a 90lb band for myself and it's pretty sturdy. My question though is if I dont have stairs or anything, what can I use? I'm afraid to bolt anything to the wall.

[TheDirtysanchez33]

Were do u get the 100 lbs one plz I née to know

[slliks67]

@TheDirtysanchez33 you get it from sports authority it is the black band

[QonyxZ]
