    Sorry.. but this is very risky and the probability of you getting hit on your face by the bands is very very high when you are done with your set….. I even think that the probability of not getting hurt is very less… why don’t you put up a video where you do a full set and then show how you get off after you finish your set? Well, until you do that, I think this is bad advice…. Sorry! you would be better off with the chair assists…

    I’m sorry, but comparing the beachbody and the other bands for “quality” is incorrect/unfair. Higher resistance bands are thicker, lesser resistance bands are thinner…that’s how they vary the resistance.

    The beachbody may indeed be higher quality…but thickness of the rubber is no gauge of quality.

    Great idea, I was going to purchase some of the “heavy” 41″ bands which after doing some research are fairly expensive.

    Thanks man…I’m 15 days into P90X and still having some trouble with the pull ups on the Chest/Back workout. I’ll give this a shot.

    I can’t even do pull ups. It pisses me off that skinny guys can do more than a well masculat guy like me :(

    it would of been funny if he got knocked out.

    Sorry if someone already said this… What about using some string for tying the bands to a barbell plate on the floor so it won’t fly too far if it slips off your knee.
    Great video, thanks for posting this.

    He’s like 300lbs at least it’s IMMENSELY hard to do perfect form pull ups at such resistance, but I managed it! :)

    BORING.!!!

  21. 101johngalt / Jan 17 2012

    Jump up sets are better and safer than using those bands.

  22. TheMeckMan / Jan 17 2012

    Your videos rock man! Very informative. What is the length of the back bar (not the back plate but the back bar)?

    As for the back plate is it made of metal, and does it mess up your sheet rock? The IronGym back plate is made of cheap plastic so this was a curiosity I had
