Question on form for pull-up tubing

[Melclear]

Hi Cathe -

Can you please show us a close-up of what our form should be when using the tubing as a substitute for pull-ups? Should our hands be level with our shoulders? Or should our elbows be at shoulder level with our arms up like goal-posts? And should we be changing our hand position at all when you talk about chin-ups versus pull-ups?

Thanks for all you do!

yes please cathe! I am also having trouble with the tubing. I don't feel it as much as I think I should.

Tracy - be sure you're using heavy enough tubing. I started with blue and realized that just wasn't enough. I switched to red and that has made all the difference. I pull just slightly beyond where I would be if I was doing a similar exercise with free weights. If you have the right resistance band, you'll know it right away. (at least I did)

Great question.

I'd like pointers on this as well! Thanks

What tubing are people using. Did you order it from Cathe and how do you attach it to the door? Thanks
