INTENT SPORTS Pull Up Assist Bands - Assistance and Resistance Bands for Pull-Up, Fitness, Body Stretching, Chin Up, Weightlifting, Powerlifting, Heavy Duty, Exercise Videos, eBook (Patented)

I like this thing. I do group circuit workouts with some friends. We have a few stations, and one station I normally like to add is pull-ups. I can do a lot of pull-ups, but I struggle doing them for 45 seconds straight. I also struggle with that task a lot more the third time through the circuit. I find this to be a good product to help me workout to the point of failure. Some of my friends are also not very good at pull-ups, and they use this to aid them the entire time. This product is easy to use, stays secure, and is easy to adjust. I have used this for a few months, and it still looks like it is brand new.

If you're like me and want to train to do pullups but don't have the ability to do more than a few at a time, this product is perfect. You can select the length needed to provide the right amount of assistance and then slowly lengthen the band over time. This allows you to progressively build strength and eventually do pullups unassisted. I'm 200 lbs. and the product feels sturdy and safe. It easily clips and unclips from any horizontal pullup bar.

I can only manage to do a handful of pull ups before my body realizes I'm a piece of crap and I suck. This band helps me to keep going even when my body is fatigued and allows me to finish my sets. It's very easy to setup. It works really well with the pull up bars that have have the wooden bar that hangs over the other side of the door frame. All you do is clip it to the middle of your pull up bar. Adjusting it is a breeze too. Allowing easy transition to increase or decrease the difficulty. Is the price expensive? Yes. It is completely justified though as I see myself getting stronger and get to the level fitness I want to be.

Been doing P90X3 and I have never in my entire life ever been able to do a pull up! After using a chair to assist my pullups, I thought I should give bands a try. I love the quick adjustment to change the resistance level and the quick snap connection to unhook it from the bar. This appears to be surprisingly well made. The plastic snap connector does make me a bit leery, but its very thick and heavy duty feeling and I hope it holds up over time. Anyway, to give you my life story: I'm a guy, 5'11 215lbs. During my initial run of P90X3, I was using the chair assist. Over time though, I could definitely tell I was using my leg to assist my pullup, a lot more than I should have been. I started P90X3 doing 0 unassisted pullups, and ended P90X3 still doing 0 unassisted pullups after 90 days and I think the chair made it too easy to cheat. After giving these bands a try, I genuinely feel like I will be able to work myself up to at least one full unassisted pull up after this second full round. As time goes on and I find my self doing reps easier, I'll drop the resistance until I hopefully ween myself off the bands and do one at least one or more completely unassisted pull up. Funny enough, the bands has made this so fun now that I randomly find myself sometimes on my off days of doing pull ups walking by the pull up bar, putting my foot in and doing a few reps now. A little $35 investment has made me enjoy practicing pullups.

I'm 5'5' 132lb female who can't even pull up a half inch on my own. I currently am doing a workout program to develop pull up skills, and this has been a lifesaver! I have it on the 'tightest' setting and can do about 10 pullups in a row, and repeat that set about 6 times. I am getting stronger and look forward to being able to crank the tightness setting down a bit as I develop my skills. I feel very safe with this assist band; I don't worry that it's going to break. Well made, easy to adjust, and does the job perfectly!!

This thing has been a game changer for me and my wife, I couldn’t do a single pull up now I’m up to 5 without this thing. I know it’s not a lot but that’s progress for me. I love that you can adjust it to fit your level if you need more assistance or if you want to challenge yourself. You can take this with you wherever you like and it will support you when you need it too. I have never felt unsure stepping into this thing. I’ve even been able to help my kids start doing pull ups with this. If you need that extra push this is what you need to order. Very pleased.

This review probably applies to most, if not all, of these pull-up assist devices. I am 83 and weigh 165 lbs. and actively cycle so I am not in bad shape. However, even on the maximum assist, I can barely get my chin over the bar for 4 consecutive chins. The assist is OK until you get a couple of inches below the bar and then seems to be completely nonexistent. If you are older or heavier, I would go for one of these with a lot more assist than this one. I am 5'11" and I can hold the top chin over bar about 30 secs max with the assist at max. I calculated what weight I was actually chinning at that point and it comes out to 90 lbs. So that is the real assist; it may be 130 lbs at the bottom but it decreases to about 90 lbs when your chin over the bar. So your getting 70 lbs of assist, not 130 lbs. I am keeping the apparatus but getting a heavier band only that goes up to 170 lbs. With this heavier band I should get a few extra pounds to get my starting chins at max around 10. I hope this helps.

This thing is very sturdy. I am smaller though. I have it on the most helpful assistance setting and I was able to do pull ups and chin ups. I couldn't do them at all before. I didn't do many, but the next day I was definitely feeling it. I felt safe using this assistance strap and it was very easy to put on my portable pull up bar that I've had for years already. If you're looking to work your way up without assistance, or to just keep using it as you see fit, this is a good gym item to have. I'm really glad I bought this!

Love this new support. Good quality. It helps me to reach my goal in chinning up.

Estoy muy satisfecho con este producto, porque es un excelente auxiliar para desarrollar la habilidad de realizar dominadas en la barra. Sin duda ha sido un acierto para lograrlo más rápidamente.

Great product at a great price!

Esta banda es la mejor opción del mercado. Hay bandas que son solo para aerobics o ejercicios muy básicos para estirar con las manos o las piernas, no apoyar todo el peso en ellas porque no resisten y se revientan. Esta banda tiene lona y tiene múltiples bandas de goma que distribuyen perfectamente el peso para resistir tu cuerpo. Si estás comenzando a hacer dominadas, esta banda es la mejor opción. Yo la compré para eso y la verdad que el contar con esta banda de asistencia mejora bastante la técnica del ejercicio. Noto más el avance de resistencia al usar la banda, pues tengo más control sobre mi cuerpo, activación muscular y mejor técnica. Siento que al mejorar esos factores, mi progreso es más notorio en cuestión del peso que resisto. Incluso resisto más dominadas por mí mismo sin la banda de asistencia conforme avanzo. Una gran ventaja es que puedes ajustar la resistencia de la banda con un broche en la lona: la ajustas o la aflojas. Si estás pensando en cuál banda comprar, esta es tu opción.

I'm petite and don't have very strong upper body strength. This has been a game changer. I'm feel more encouraged and look forward to doing a variety of pull ups with more reps. This has been a game changer.
