Struggling to do 1 pull up even assisted
Right now I (F20s, 140 lbs) really struggle with doing a single pull up even using a heavy resistance band. The brand I’m using is the Ultra-heavy super band by Reebok. The band helps somewhat get me maybe 1/4th of the way up, but I still can’t get my chin above the bar.
I’ve also tried doing negative pull-ups, but I still end up kind of slumping down immediately.
Unfortunately I don’t have access to any sort of pullup bar machine so I’m stuck with trying to train at home.
Should I buy another resistance band to give even more resistance? Should I be doing any other exercises?
