About

By using a machine, this workout can be helpful for those who cannot do a bodyweight pull-up. Set the assist weight for 10 reps initially, and gradually increase it!

How to Assisted Pull Up

Starting Position

1. Please set the weight to be assisted.

2. Grab the bar slightly wider than shoulder-width 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. With your chest relaxed, slowly return to the starting position.

Breathing Technique

Exhale when your body goes up, and inhale when your body goes down.

Precautions

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

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