Thread: There a way to stretch out pullup bands?
Started 2 months, 2 weeks ago by LiftHeavy85
I just got my iron woody pullup assist bands in the mail and they are extremely tight to the point I need a step ladder to put my foot into it.

I just got a mental picture of you tying one end of the band to your house and the other to the trailer hitch on your car, driving forward about 10 or 12 feet and then setting the parking brake. Hey, it could work. . .or at least make for a great story.
