Step by step instructions, muscle activation and variants for the Resistance Band Assisted Pull-Up.
A pull-up variation that uses a looped resistance band for support, reducing the amount of bodyweight you must lift and making pull-ups accessible to beginners or useful for building volume. The band provides the most assistance at the bottom of the movement where you are weakest.
The Resistance Band Assisted Pull-Up is a foundational movement that builds strength and muscle through controlled, progressive overload. Train it 1 to 2 times per week with 3 to 5 working sets per session, gradually adding weight or reps as form holds up.
