Band Assisted Hammer Pull Up instructions

Step-by-step instructions

Find a pull-up bar and loop a resistance band over it, making sure it's secure.

Place one foot (or knee) in the lower loop of the band, allowing it to support some of your weight.

Grab the pull-up bar with both hands, palms facing towards each other (a 'neutral grip').

Pull your body up towards the bar, aiming to get your chin above it.

Lower yourself in a controlled manner back to the starting position and repeat for the programmed number of reps.
