I read that resistance bands on me can help me get going on pull up bars. Is there a specific kind or style or size I should get for these? Thanks all.

One way to get started without the bands is to just jump up as high as you can and try to grab onto the bars at your highest point, then try to lower yourself back to the ground as slowly as possible.

I did this with a step stool and found it very effective.

Nice, also try starting with an underhand grip too. Its a slightly different exercise and tends to be a bit easier to do.
