This is a pull-up assist that is useful for people doing home workout programs like P90x who can kind of do a pull-up or can do 1 or 2 unassisted pull-ups, and want to be able to do more. It is not for a total beginner who cannot even get halfway through a pull-up, however, as it can only support so much weight, even at the shortest length. The shorter the length you have the more it assists and the longer the less assistance you get.
This uses bands that are mounted into the center which provide the assistance, and then you adjust the length of the strap to get more or less assistance from the bands. The bands seem to be good quality and I have not had one snap on me as I did with the P90x pull-up assist that was put out by Beachbody. The only thing that I would say could be better is the clip/u-shaped hook part that goes over the bar. It is plastic and people have had that piece break on them. It would be better if that was metal. Aside from that, however, I definitely think this is a good piece of equipment that can help you get to the point where you can do unassisted pull-ups.
