Assisted Pull Up

Assisted pull-ups with a machine are a great way to build strength and confidence for doing regular pull-ups. Here are the steps to follow:

1. Adjust the weight on the machine to match your level of assistance. The more weight you select, the easier the pull-ups will be.
2. Step onto the platform and grab the handles above your head. You can choose between a wide or narrow grip, depending on which muscles you want to target.
3. Lift your knees and place them on the padded lever. This will lower the platform and lift you up to the starting position.
4. Pull yourself up until your chin is above the handles, keeping your elbows close to your body and your core engaged.
5. Lower yourself down slowly and with control, until your arms are fully extended.
6. Repeat for as many reps as you can, then step off the platform and rest.
