Assisted Pull-Up
The assisted pull-up is a machine-based exercise that helps users perform pull-ups with added support, making it easier to lift their body weight. It primarily targets the latissimus dorsi (lats) and also engages the biceps and forearms.
Step-by-Step Form & Technique
- 1.Adjust the machine to your desired weight and height settings.
- 2.Grasp the handles with an overhand grip, slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
- 3.Hang with your arms fully extended and your feet off the ground.
- 4.Engage your back muscles and pull your body up towards the handles, keeping your elbows close to your body.
- 5.Continue pulling until your chin is above the handles.
- 6.Pause for a moment at the top, then slowly lower your body back down to the starting position.
- 7.Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
