P90X Chin-up Max - Pull up Assist Band

Update 9/25/11 So, it''s been a couple weeks since my review of this and I wanted to update and say how thrilled I am that I got the chin up max. I just finished up week 6 so today was Legs & Back. I can now do 7 chinups, 4 wide pullups and 3 close grip pullups before having to switch to assisted ones. I always had trouble with the close grip pullups and the chair. For some reason I had nerve pain in my forearm so even with the chair, I would only do 5 or 6. I don''t have that problem any more. I think the biggest benefit of the chin up max is that your form is the same as doing them unassisted which helps with more gains in strength. I cannot recommend this product highly enough.

I''ve done P90X a few times over the years and was never able to do an unassisted pullup. I''m female so not a lot of upper body strength. I''ve always used the chair but didn''t see much improvement. I could do chinups but pullups were just too hard. I started a new round recently and found this assist band online at the end of week 1. I ordered it directly from teambeachbody and got it during week 2. I changed my workouts around so that I could use it that week for chest & back. First thing I noticed was how much harder it was using this and how much more sore I was the next day. But, my form seems to be closer to what a real pullup/chinup would be without the chair. I only got to use this for 2 weeks before I got to the recovery week. This week was the start of phase 2 and I had back & biceps 2 days ago. I didn''t think I''d be able to do any pullups yet but I thought I''d try before using the assist. Much to my surprise, I could do 2 of them unassisted! I then did another 10 assisted. The product quality itself also seems pretty good. I''m not that heavy, under 130#, and it feels very secure. The first time I used it I had a little trouble with swinging forward but I got used to it quickly, you put your other foot on top of the one in the strap and that helps a little. The only thing I didn''t like is the rubbing against my leg and knee but I got used to that also. Other than that, I highly recommend it.

I have been doing P90X consistently since November of 2010. I have very little upper body strength even after 3 rounds of the program. I have been using a chair to "assist" with my pull ups since day 1. I saw on the P90X2 that they were using this contraption and so I googled it and it brought me here. I decided to buy it. Delivered last night and I did Legs/Back using it. I am going to tell you right now if you are ''on the fence'' about buying this GET OFF THE FENCE. This beautiful object has changed my pull up game FOREVER. I worked much harder last night doing my pull ups then ever before and I know I wasn''t cheating. After a YEAR of doing P90X I was finally working my back properly while doing pull ups. No accidental "leg cheatin" all pull ups, clean, with good form.

The trick to this is the adjustable strap. The lower you adjust it the harder you work, the higher the less you work. This allows a person to progress over time to doing full, unassisted pull ups.

I love this product ... LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!

No, I am not a Beachbody Coach or Employee ... just a consumer that is overwhelmed with the simplicity of this product and the results I hope to achieve with it. I am starting P90X2 on January 2 (have the program already just waiting for others to start) and will be utilizing this to it''s fullest extent.

I bought this thing thinking it was going to be my main piece of assistant equipment, I was wrong. I do construction for a living and all I use is one of my 2ft ladders to help me with my pull ups and chin ups. I love this design but i hate the resistance on it. I am a big guy. I''m about 6''3" and weight 230lbs. this thing felt like it was going to snap when i got on it. it did not releive any of my weight. this is not for big people at all.

Want P90X Chin-up Max - Pull up Assist Band Discount?

Let me begin by saying that I am horrible at pull-ups! When I started P90X I used a chair to help assist me with them, but I just wasn''t feeling like I was getting a full range of motion. So I decided to buy this product. I have not regretted it one bit!

It helps with pull-ups without over compensating. I am able to do pull-ups so I don''t feel like a wimp, but it doesn''t help too much that I don''t feel like I''m getting a workout.

Highly recommend this product!
