As these others have mentioned, put one leg on a chair. I have tried both and the bands are a bit too cumbersome. With the chair you can easily control your resistance. You can also make it harder by moving the chair further out in front of you.

When I started 4 weeks ago, I could only do 1 or 2 pullups with significant struggle. So I decided to use a chair from day 1. After week 3 I wanted to see what I could do without a chair and color me surprised that I could now do 5 or 6 pullups unassisted.

In short, using a chair at first will benefit you in the long run and does not make you less of a man.
