Have you ever done these? Let me know. 👇
The assisted pull-up machine is a great piece of equipment, and I believe it’s underrated.
The reason I believe it’s underrated is most people jump up and try to do regular pull-ups, but end up doing them poorly.
Thinking they’re too good for these assisted pull-ups.
For anyone trying to build pull-up strength, this is the machine for you.
Here are some simple cues:
✅ Pick a level that challenges you, but still lets you complete reps with good form.
The heavier the weight, the easier the pull-up (machine counterbalances you).
✅ Grip Slightly Wider Than Shoulder-Width
✅ Engage your lats first
✅ Before pulling up, depress your shoulders (pull shoulder blades down and back).
✅ Pull your chest to the bar
✅ Control yourself on the way down
SAVE and follow for more quick tips. 🔥
I also just made an in depth Youtube video on how to get better at pull-ups. Search “Colossus Fitness” and give it a watch. 💪
