Haha you can say "keep it up" to me... I just won't say it back! 😂
I feel like I'm going to be stuck here forever. Some days it feels like real progress. Some days it feels like nothing has changed. It's quite frustrating. 🙄kinetixtrainer2 wrote: »Yeah looks like this is almost too easy for ya.
I did three sets of 5 like this. I'm not sure where to go next. Try for more reps? Try for same reps but slow descent on more reps within the same set? Change my footing on the band?
I'm totally winging it. I have no idea what I'm doing. Lol
Move the band to your knee and cross your feet behind you. It will give you less assistance off the bottom.
If you can easily get your foot in and out of the band use the band on the way up and take your foot out of the band and lower slowly as you mentioned.
I totally tried figuring out how to do the band on the knee thing just now. I had to wrap it around the top bar three times to get enough resistance, but I was able to get out of the hole with some work.
I'll try that for as many reps as I can next time.
There's no way I can get both knees in (without help)... That band is tricksey. Lol
It did reinforce how much more work I still have ahead of me, too. * sigh *
Thank you for the tips! Stay tuned. Lol1 -

Great work. I had to look up the band assisted thing on you tube as I had never seen it and I don't even see the bands in the pull ups. I'm going to pick some up for us so she can incorporate them into her workout and I will do the same once I get cleared.jennacole12 wrote: »

Don't mind me while I live vicariously through you all until I can get my back right. The positivity that a number of you have is infectious in a fantastic way. Keep up the good work.1 -

Can I DM you a back question?

So for mine, I had bought a medium duty band and stretched it across my cage horizontally using my squat cage support braces. That's why you can't see them. Based on Chris' suggestion of hooking a knee in, I changed it to loop around the top bar and I'll see how that goes. It's going to be harder, but that's good, right? Haha.

I compared the two, side by side, so you can see the difference...
I like the way the knee one feels better.2 -
Thank you. The one on the right is what my search results brought up. I wasn't creative enough to imagine the method on the left.KickassAmazon76 wrote: »So for mine, I had bought a medium duty band and stretched it across my cage horizontally using my squat cage support braces.

I assume it feels more stable if you will using the method on the right? Maybe said another way, do you feel like you had at least divert a little energy/attention to balancing your feet on the band in the one on the left?1 -

I did the left because I wasnt smart enough to think about looping the band around the bar a few more times before bringing it through (it was too long and not enough assistance at first). So I tried the left and it worked.
I liked the left because it leaves my legs straight, and I could kind of mini squat so that my feet never touched the floor. It almost felt like a more 'real' pullup. But now... I think I like the right better.
Sometimes I find my lower back is aggravated by trying to do the pullup with my knees bent and feet behind me. But maybe that's just because I'm not strong enough (yet).
This height thing sometimes irritates the F out of me. I wish I had a way to do legit full hangs... To the point where I am thinking of driving two steel poles into the ground in my backyard and making my own super tall pullup bar... For fairweather days.1 -
