Awesome Video!!!

Check my page i just made a Pull UP Video!!!

[MrMoe3300]

i weigh 170 and im 5 "9, i was wondering if theirs a specific length and resistance i need on the band? like a a medium or high resistance?

[gshinoskie]

@MrMoe3300 You would need the "light " band "monster mini" band or "mini" band depending on your strength level. Just get the normal length. I buy mine at elitefts. Worth buying because there are many uses for them.

Sorry if it's been answered, but usually these kinds of products are color-coded. I don't have sound on the computer so just wondering what tension this blue band is rated for? This guy looks like my twin (not just the great haircut) but size and build too...thanks for the help.

[gshinoskie]

@phospodar The band is actual purple and is rated "light" band. They have changed the color since and its now orange.

@gshinoskie

Thanks very much for the info. Like I mentioned, the guy in the video looks like he could be my twin, and I've been working on bodyweight exercises like pull-ups and been frustrated (how can I deadlift over 400lbs and not pick myself up, right? LOL) but I wanted to get a band like this as I progress to full-body pullups....for now I am doing body-rows in my sumo rack and that's helping with form as well.

Thanks again!

@phospodar Just get some bands and keep working you will get there. i would get a "average", "light" and "mini" bands. Then 2x a week do pull ups. Lots of pull ups. The only way you will get good at pull ups is by doing them. Set a number to get and doing as many sets you have to do to get that number. Your goal should be to do it quicker and in less number of sets each time. Or do 10x6 reps and go until you get all reps on all sets then drop down to a band with less resistance and do the same.

[gshinoskie]

@phospodar I remember using bands to get high reps at some point just because we never did them in high school. I guess you have to start somewhere. Check all our videos out on our homepage just click on gshinoskie

I spent all kinds of time trying to get strong enough on machines, but two weeks after i bought one of these I was doing chin ups. Bands are the way to go.

[fabiolas4]

i weigh 320lbs, would i snap that thing and get rubber rash and rip off the hair on my leg? or if i use a resistance band is there any particular one i should get for my size? thank you very much for this video, HUGE help!

[chiconspiracy]

People who can't do a pullup, do yourself a favor and GET THESE. Do not waste time on the lat pulldown or doing rows. I wasted a year on those, and it did almost nothing for pullup carryover. Do these, and you'll get to pullups.

[gshinoskie]

Yeah they work. Its a good exercise to use if you cant do a pull up. Start with whatever size band you need then just go down in band size as you get stronger.

[gshinoskie]

you can get them at elitefts . com. They are actually 25% off today. The bands are by jumpstretch

[shadowthegod]

Hey man i've been looking to try these but i dont know which band to get.

[gshinoskie]

It just depends on how much assistance/tension you need to complete the reps. The bands are by jumpstretch and they offer different kinds the provide different tensions. Strong bands provides the most assistance, then average, then light, then monster mini, then mini provides the least amount. The good thing about the bands is you can work towards eventually doing your body weight or weighted pull ups. Just start with what band you need to and work your way down.
