Pull-ups are one of the best exercises for building upper body strength, but they can be challenging, especially for beginners. Resistance bands provide the perfect support to help you build strength and improve your pull-up performance over time. Here’s a resistance band workout to enhance your pull-up ability.

1. Assisted Pull-Ups

Attach a resistance band to the pull-up bar and place your feet or knees in the loop. Perform pull-ups while the band provides assistance, reducing the weight you need to lift. Gradually use lighter bands as you progress.

2. Band Lat Pulldowns

Anchor a resistance band above you and pull it down towards your chest, mimicking the pull-up motion. This helps strengthen the lat muscles, improving your ability to pull yourself up.

3. Banded Australian Rows

Wrap a resistance band around a low bar and lean back, holding the band with both hands. Pull your chest towards the bar, keeping your core engaged. This exercise builds pulling strength essential for pull-ups.

4. Banded Dead Hangs

Hang from a pull-up bar with a resistance band supporting your weight. This helps build grip and shoulder endurance, making it easier to perform pull-ups.

5. Banded Bicep Curls

Use a resistance band for bicep curls to strengthen the arm muscles needed for pull-ups. Step on the band and pull it upwards, engaging your biceps.
