True story I hated pull-ups as a youth. I was like 215 pounds in the 10th grade, and though pretty strong I was never good at them. Hell I could bench 400 pounds at 17 but couldn’t do 20 chin-ups.

Now a days I almost always chose pull-ups over lat pulldowns. I feel it is a far superior exercise for overall back development. Not good at chin-ups? Ladies you cannot even do 1?

Take a black or purple TDX band and loop it over the bar and step onto it giving your foot a significant lift. Work on getting 5 sets of 10. Once you can do that drop the band to your knee. Then maybe move down from a purple band to a black band (less resistance)

Or if you are a seasoned lifter do this at the end of your back workout.

A1) Do 1 set of 12-15 pull-ups (no assistance)

A2) Have the black band already looped and waiting, knee on it for 12 more.

A3) Then drop the knee to a foot and get 8-10 more.

A4) Immediately switch the black band to purple and repeat (A2/A3)

** This is one set. Go 40 seconds rest and do 3 sets total.
