In this video, Danny is covering one of the most valuable bodyweight exercises… Pull Ups.
Pull ups are a fantastic exercise for developing strength in your back (lats to be specific) and biceps. One of the great things about this exercise is that you can REGRESS this exercise, meaning you can decrease the difficulty of the movement if you lack the strength or stability to safely do a bodyweight pull up.
Today’s recommended Pull Up regression is a “Banded Pull Up” & here’s how you do it.
Setup
- Use a squat rack with a pull up bar
- Place racks facing in
- Place band over racks
- Hold onto bar as you step onto band
- Balance both feet evenly
Performing The Exercise
- Option 1
- Increasing # of reps
- Focusing on control coming down (Eccentric Phase)
- Attempt 8-12 reps
- Gradually increasing the length of time it takes during Eccentric Phase
- Option 2
- Increase length of time
- Hold position at the top of pull up without band as long as possible
