How to do it
- Attach the band to a pull-up bar or sturdy anchor point.
- Step onto the band and grip the bar with your palms facing away from you, hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
- Hang with your arms fully extended, keeping your core engaged and your shoulders down and back.
- Pull your body up towards the bar by squeezing your shoulder blades together and driving your elbows down towards your hips.
- Continue pulling until your chin is above the bar, then slowly lower yourself back down to the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
