Assisted pull-up
- Adjust the weight, kneel on the platform, and grab the bar with a wide overhand grip (palms facing away).
- Pull your body upward until your chin is over the bar, keeping your chest up and shoulders down.
- Slowly lower yourself back to the starting position until your arms are fully extended.
Tips
- Before pulling, set your shoulders by drawing them down away from your ears so your neck stays long throughout the movement.
- Lower yourself in a controlled manner until your arms are fully extended at the bottom, completing the full range of motion on every repetition.
- Keep your chest lifted and your torso upright as you pull, rather than letting your body drift forward or lean back excessively.
Common mistakes
- Shrugging the shoulders upward toward the ears during the pull, rather than keeping them drawn down.
- Stopping the descent before the arms are fully extended, cutting the range of motion short at the bottom.
- Using a swinging or jerking motion to initiate the pull instead of starting the movement in a controlled, steady manner.
