I'd agree with that. Although you can use bands to simulate a pull-up motion, there really is no substitute for pulling up your own body weight. But whatever works for you I guess. I have one of the bars that hooks on the door and it's been great for me. Have had it for 3-4 years with no problems at all (think it was only $40-50). Having said that, I use bands for the rest of the exercises and they work fine. Just make sure you get a set that 1) has enough tension to give you a workout, and 2) is of decent quality. Had a cheap one snap on me and those fuckers hurt!
