I started in earnest on 2/8 and have been doing it everyday, but I've made modifications based on my doctor's recommendations. I have had surgery on both of my hands and wrists for carpal tunnel, and have tendinitis in the more severe of my carpal tunnel ruined wrists. As such, pull-ups are completely out of the question for me, to which I use the resistance bands. Most stores carry light, medium and heavy bands, but you can find extra-heavy and ultra heavy on amazon.com... they really do a good job emulating the action and working the muscles.

I want to let you know that I'm also having some issues with the pull-ups but I can help. When you are using the chair let it help get all the way up but the remove your foot/feet from the top of the chair and slowly lower yourself down to the hanging position. This negative action will help you build muscle. Also, get on your pull-up bar during the non-excercise time and see if you can squeeze out one (1) pull-up. If you can do one, then you'll ultimately be able to do three, then four, etc., in due time. I started P90X on 27 January and I am loving it.
