Hey guys,
I have just got the workout program and I noticed how in some of the early levels there are pull ups involved(level 2 I believe) and I know I'm not able to do any pull ups. So I was wondering if I could use a resistant band or anything else to help me with pull ups.?

Hello and welcome,

It's actually level 4, and that's why you do negatives and pull up holds through lvl 1-3, to get your back stronger since negatives work the same muscle as the exercise it's just a little easier, reverse sort of. When I was starting I didn't use a resistance band, in fact I don't even have one, it just took some time but negatives are the way to go to learn an exercise. But in my opinion, sure you can, just make sure that you work up to the non-assistant ones. Good luck with your journey, ask anything you need, we're all friendly here with the same goal of becoming official Bar Brothers! :)

I would recommend doing the first three levels on like a cycle until you're able to do pull-ups. Example: Monday-level 1, Wednesday-level 2, and Friday-level 3. There is only one rest day in between full body workouts, so next week you would start on Sunday according to the example. Some people don't have enough time to do full body workouts though, so this is what I recvomend them according to Chris's program. Example: Monday-level 1 half(upper body), Tuesday-level 1 half(legs and core), Wednesday-level 2 half(upper body), Thursday-level 2 half(legs and core), Friday-level 3 half(upper body), Saturday-level 3(legs and core), Sunday-rest day. REPEAT!!! That's what I would recvomend for working out without taking time that you don't have. Cheers!!! P.S. If this is a bad example please tell me so Chris, ruining your program is the last thing I want to do.
