P90x???

Also, a variety of pull-ups -- wide, close-grip, reverse, etc. I had to use a chair for the pull-ups (balance one foot on the chair to take some of the weight off), otherwise I couldn't complete ANY pull-ups with good form!

michelem, we use a variety of resistance bands to assist with the pullups in Crossfit. I usually try to do as many as I can without and then I switch to the lightest one I can get away with that day. This video shows the guy using his foot, but I usually put my knee through the "loop"--it's a little tougher because you have less "help".

It's basically just a big rubber band attached to the bar. Better than having to use a chair!

Oh, wow! Just got a chance to take a look at the video. What a great idea! I'm going to have to look for one of these bands. I really think it will help. Thanks so much!
