INSTRUCTIONS

  • Use an assisted pull-up machine. Grasp the bar with an overhand grip just outside shoulder width and hang at full arm extension. This is your start position.

​

  • Keeping your body straight, contract your lats to pull yourself up as high as you can, driving your elbows down.

​

  • Slowly release to full arm extension. Repeat for the required number of reps and safely dismount from the apparatus.

NOTE ON GRIPS

  • For a wide grip, your hands need to be spaced out at a distance wider than your shoulder width. For a medium grip, your hands need to be spaced out at a distance equal to your shoulder width and for a close grip at a distance smaller than your shoulder width.
