P90X Chin-Up Assist and Chin-Up Max Review

This Chin-Up Assist and Chin-Up Max Review will have you making a great choice to maximize your pull up power and define that upper back once and for all!

P90X is an at-home fitness program that blends in plenty of chin-ups and pull ups. Not many workout programs blend in the pull up until this program came along an literally raised the bar on home fitness. In the beginning, P90X always showed people how to modify a pull up by placing one foot on the back of a chair to take away some of the load. It was very easy for a person to cheat themselves out of the exercise by pushing down with the foot to get extra leverage. That has now changed.  Enter the P90X Chin-Up Max.

P90X Chin-Up Assist and Chin-Up Max Review: The Benefits

To maximize your chin-ups and pull ups, this workout gives you an adjustable amount of support so you can work your way up to doing more unassisted reps. It can be used with extreme fitness programs like P90X, P90X2, Insanity Asylum, and Body Beast. This is a training tool designed to allow you to practice and work your way up to doing unassisted chin-up bar exercises. By offsetting some of the weight your muscles must support, the Chin-Up Assist Chin-Up Max allows you to spend more time and get more reps with your chin-up bar before your muscles fatigue. That means longer, more effective workouts!

P90X Chin-Up Assist and Chin-Up Max Review: Reviews

For me, I love the Chin-Up Assist and Chin-Up Max because it allows me to get a few extra reps when doing one of the P90X routines. It is also essential when your muscles get fatigued in many of the Body Beast and P90X2 workouts too!

My wife, Hillary, said:

I just started using the Chin-Up Assist Chin-Up Max with Body Beast. I loved how easy it was to use and the confidence it adds to my performance. I went from.. “I’m never going to be able to do pull-ups.” to … “look at me.. I can do pull-ups!!!”

It definitely improved my abilities and made me proud of my accomplishments!

As a woman I didn’t feel like I was getting all I could out of P90X using the bands, but couldn’t do even one pull up/ chin up. Got this and it is AMAZING! Very sturdy construction, impressed with the quality! It feels great to get that full range of motion, and it will be easy to increase difficulty as I get stronger. Wish I would have bought it 9 weeks ago when I started! My husband is also ordering his own he was so impressed. Thanks Beachbody! Another great product!

On my second round of P90X and while I can crank out 10 plus pullups it gets ugly fast. This system keeps me clean at 20 plus. Will cut back on the amount of bands soon. Money well spent!

During P90X2 workouts, I use a chair to assist with my pull-ups especially late in the workout. Using a chair, I always felt I wasn’t getting enough out of a pull-up as it often felt that I was assisting myself too much. Also I felt my body position was too far offline when using a chair.

Using the Chin-up max, I am definitely getting more out of my pull-ups and my body remains in perfect form. It is quick and easy to adjust the strap to increase or decrease resistance levels. The device seems to be very good quality. I’m glad I made the purchase and very happy with the product.
