Assisted Standing Chin-Up

The assisted standing chin-up is a machine-based exercise that helps users perform chin-ups with added support, making it easier to build strength in the lats, biceps, and forearms. The leverage machine reduces the amount of body weight lifted, allowing for proper form and gradual progression.

  1. 1.Adjust the machine to your desired assistance level.
  2. 2.Stand on the foot platform and grip the handles with an overhand grip, slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
  3. 3.Keep your chest up and shoulders back, engage your core, and slightly bend your knees.
  4. 4.Pull your body up by flexing your elbows and driving your elbows down towards your sides.
  5. 5.Continue pulling until your chin is above the bar.
  6. 6.Pause for a moment at the top, then slowly lower your body back down to the starting position.
  7. 7.Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
