I do not like them (edited to remove "Hate" since my mother taught me never to hate anything ;-))!
More accurately, I do not like that I cannot do pull-ups! Seriously, what is it? isolation of a certain muscle that does not get used very often? Carrying extra weight? Compromising the move with improper form to to make it 'easier' to get your chin over the bar? Is it about consistency and working on them every day?
ARRGGGHHH
Enough ranting! All that being said, I used the green for ths first two rounds and added the red band to the last 3 was able to do the 5X5 strength workout this morning. Yea! Improvement from ring rows. I can definitely feel that my lats got a workout.

its a combination of things Cathy. Being stronger helps, being lighter helps, being more proficient in the movement helps.
My advice, be determined to knock out a pull-up by Jan 1st! no later! Keep practicing getting strong with controlled pull-ups with the bands, ring rows and negatives. Keep on W9 and lets see what happens to the weight, (not saying you need to lose weight, just addressing a topic you brought up).
Lets set-up a 1-1 meeting soon to discuss this matter further.
Your trainer,
david
