How To Use  Pull Up Bands?

Paper Work

• Prepare some pull-up resistance band sets. First start with the most stronger band, then slowly move on to lighter resistance bands. Usually, the level of strength on the resistance band is shown with colors. But some resistance bands also have marks of resistance level on them. Therefore, always pay full attention while buying resistance bands.
• Connect the pull-up band with a fixed pull-up bar in a way that it comes in the middle. Adjust both sides of the band so the bar comes in the center of the band. Note: Ensure that the pull-up bar is dry before putting the band on it. The wet bar may cause difficulty in sliding the band.
• Slide one part of the band over the other part. Grasp the strap of the pull-up ar from one of your hands and one end of the band with your other hand. Now put the band in the strap of the bar. 
• Pull the sides of the band down to strengthen. Firmly pull the strap downward that is hanging from the pole. This will tighten the loop and prevent the band from sliding off.

Doing A Pull-Up

• If you cannot reach the bar, then add some assistance below. Push in some small ladder, crate, or box under the pull-up bar to easily reach the pull-up bar. Make sure to align the box with the bar, so that it perfectly comes under the pull-up railing. You depend on the platform to step over the resistance band to go down after the pull-ups.
• Slide your main dominant foot over the resistance band. Now grasp the band and pull the band down up to 2 to 4 feet. Press it under the lowest point of the strap. Use the barbell and resistance of the band to balance your body. Ensure to wear shoes while using the top strap.
• Grasp the pull-up bar with both of your hands. Ensure to grab it with your palms facing upward. Extend your hands to 1-2 feet from the middle of the pull-up bar as per your comfort.
• Slide the non-dominant foot over the dominant one to keep it in the firm position. Now raise the non-dominant foot, slide it towards the dominant one, and position it a little towards the floor. This helps the resistance band to slide off while you do pull-ups. If you do not do this, it may slide off the resistance band beneath you while doing pull-ups. This can be quite dangerous for you. If you have a strong and comfortable grip over the band, then you can skip this. It is not mandatory.
• Now activate the core. Pull yourself up towards the barbell. Tighten the core. Stabilize your body weight over the band. Slightly bend your knees and lift your off the floor around 6-12 inches. Pull your chin over the barbell with the help of your back, arms, and shoulder muscles. Keep doing it until your chine reaches at or above the barbell. Ensure to keep your back straight.
• Gently lower your body to finish 1 repetition. Once your chin reaches the barbell level, slowly lower your body down. Gently move while controlling your body weight to come back to the initial position. Do not leave your arms hanging around or locked out. Keep a tight back and core. Once you reach back to the original position, you can continue for further repetitions.
• Once you complete your pull-up exercise, relax your feet and arms and stand comfortably on the floor. Do not move your foot right away. First, grab both ends of the resistance band tightly and then take your foot off. If you do not strongly grasp the band, it may shoot at you when you take your foot off. 

Once you are done with one leg, you can start with another leg after some break.
