Hello all,

I'm a newb - currently on Day 4 (just finished YogaX - it kicked my b*tt!!), and I have a basic question regarding pull-ups/chin-ups. I'd like to try them using the resistance bands, but how do I anchor the band? Is there a door attachment or something I need to have? I saw some sort of nylon webbed loop attachment that fits over the doorknob, but it seems to me that's not high enough. What am I missing here?

Thanks in advance for any help!

One newbie to another...well, I've been following along here for several weeks and just decided to jump in!

I'm using bands right now for pull-ups and chin-ups. While I'm fit enough for P90X, my back strength isn't quite enough to pull my nearly 300 pound carcass up in the air...yet!!

I have the good fortune to work out in my basement and I have an I-beam running right down the middle of the workout area. I loop the bands (I'm currently using two 50# bands together that I bought at Beachbody) and use them that way. It's been working just fine for me and I know that I'll be able to get a pull-up bar in the near future as my strength improves and I continue to lose weight.

I realize that this might be a problem for those not blessed with a basement.

Hope this helps...

Kevin

Hey Kevin,

Thanks for the reply! Yes, I too am fortunate enough to work out at home. I have my own "workout room" in the house, which is also on the lower level, but we have no exposed beams. The ceiling in the room isn't even suspended - if it was, I could try pushing up a tile and looping over something sturdy up there.

Anyway, thanks again - and keep on bringin' it!

i got mine at Dick's sporting goods

depending on your door clearance you can use the door anchor under the door and do some super biceps curls by extending the band
