Targets: lats

About

It can help the lower back muscles and biceps muscles, and is easier than pull-up. Try to push your chest up when doing the exercise.

How to Assisted Chin Up

Starting Position

1. Please set the weight to be assisted.

2. Grab the bar with shoulder-width grip and kneel on the pad.

3. Squeeze your shoulder blades together and open your chest.

Proper Form

1. Please pull your arms back until your chest touches the bar.

2. While bringing your shoulder blades together, naturally pull your arms back.

3. Slowly return to the starting position with your chest relaxed.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when pulling your arms, and inhale when extending your arms.

Precautions

1. Please be careful not to lose your starting position when you come down.

2. Please go up using the strength of your shoulder blades, not your arms.
