ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for assisting in performing pull-ups under an overhead bar (B) provides an adjustable upward force on a foot holder (2) to decrease the effort needed for pulling up the body. The force is adjusted by varying the number of bungee-cord linear springs (3) between the bar and the foot holder. The holder has a platform (22) and a shoe strap (11) to hold just one of the user's feet; the other foot is wrapped around the other leg. Looped ends of the bungee cords, formed by clamps (4), are attached with rings (14) or carabiners (6) to the platform and to straps (7) looped around the bar. A safety strap (1) holds the foot holder stable.
