Assisted Pull ups

Stability through the low back, and lumbar spine allows for maintaining your posture throughout your swing, and allows a transfer of power from the lower body to the upper body and arms

Starting position:

Using a thick resistance band attached to the overhead bar, and allow the band to wrap around a single bent knee, or straight legged foot. Grip the overhead bar with both hands, wider then shoulder width, overhand, palms facing away from your body.

Movement:

Start the pulling motion by retracting the shoulder blades, then continue to retract the shoulders as you pull the sternum up to the bar, Maintain neutral spine and upright posture, and keep shoulders retracted throughout movement. Return to start position, arms fully extended before starting next rep.

Notes: For safety, always leave one leg OUT of the band, resistance will vary, with different levels of resistive bands
