A helping hand towards your next pull-up.
Make bodyweight training more manageable with a long-loop assistance band. Choose from three strengths to support pull-up practice and suitable ring-training progressions, then move to a lighter band as your strength and control improve.
- Three widths, with a different colour for each assistance level.
- A compact addition to your rings or home training setup.
- Use for assisted bodyweight exercises or to add resistance to controlled band exercises.
Sold individually: choose one band below. Rings, straps and anchor equipment are sold separately.
Choose your assistance level
For assisted exercises, a stronger band provides more help. For exercises where you stretch the band against your movement, a stronger band adds more resistance.
| Band | Approx. resistance* | Relative assistance |
|---|---|---|
| Black — 22 mm | 11–29 kg (25–65 lb) | Lighter assistance |
| Purple — 32 mm | 16–39 kg (35–85 lb) | Medium assistance |
| Green — 45 mm | 23–54 kg (50–120 lb) | Greater assistance |
*Supplier-stated resistance ranges, with approximate kilogram conversions. Resistance increases as the band stretches, so assistance changes throughout an exercise. These figures are not maximum user-weight ratings or a fixed amount deducted from your body weight.
Choose enough assistance to practise smooth, controlled repetitions through a range you can manage. Your exercise, setup and current strength matter more than body weight alone. As an exercise becomes easier, try a lighter band while keeping the same control.
Training with rings
Use an assistance band as part of a secure, exercise-appropriate setup for supported ring progressions. New to rings? Feet-supported rows and push-ups are useful starting options; you do not need a band for every exercise. A band helps manage the load, but you still need to control the rings.
What's included
- 1 long-loop assistance band in your selected width and colour.
- Available widths: 22 mm, 32 mm or 45 mm.
Setup & care
Inspect the band before every session. Do not use it if you find cuts, cracks, thinning or other damage. Use a secure anchor suitable for the exercise and keep the band away from sharp or abrasive edges. Enter and exit assisted positions carefully; never release a stretched band towards yourself or someone else. Store dry, away from direct sunlight and heat.
Common questions
Which band gives the most help with pull-ups?
The 45 mm green band provides the greatest assistance of these three options when used in the same setup. The 22 mm black band provides the least.
Is this a set of three?
No. The photo shows the three available options, but each purchase includes one band in the selected width and colour.
Does the kilogram range tell me which band matches my weight?
No. The range describes the supplier's approximate resistance as the band stretches. Choose according to the help you need for the exercise, rather than matching the label to your body weight.
