How to: Assisted Pull-Up

Primary Muscles Used:Back, Lats, Biceps

Exercise Families:Vertical Pull

Equipment:Assisted Chin/Dip

Trainer:Chontel Duncan

  1. Hold onto the chin-up bar of the chin/dip machine with an overhand grip (palms facing away from you), hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Safely place your knees onto the horizontal knee pad, one leg at a time, and extend your arms so that you are hanging from the chin-up bar. This is your starting position.
  2. Inhale. Exhale. Using the muscles in your arms and back, bend your elbows and pull your body upwards to bring your chin up and over the chin-up bar. Avoid ‘shrugging’ your shoulders by drawing your shoulder blades down and back.
  3. Inhale. Extend your elbows and lower your body to return to the starting position. Repeat for the specified number of repetitions.
