#Pull Ups Assisted

ARE YOU MAKING THIS MISTAKE? ❌ Assisted pull ups are a great exercise for strengthening and building the back muscles. But I commonly see people performing them wrong and not getting the full benefits! Not achieving full range of motion is the most common form error I see. It’s important to remember that the back muscles are supposed to be the primary focus when performing pull ups. Doing partial reps doesn’t allow the lats to come to a fully lengthened position between reps, which encourages the arms to kick in and do most of the work. Your arms should be fully extended at the bottom of the movement. If you are unable to achieve this, the weight is likely too heavy. If using an assisted machine - increase the amount of weight you are offsetting your body weight by to make the exercise easier (note: the machine works by offsetting your weight to make the exercise easier. The more weight you select - the easier the exercise is. Selecting less weight makes the exercise more difficult). If you are using a band - use a thicker band or add an extra band to make it easier. When pulling yourself up, initiate the movement by retracting and depressing your shoulder blades. Try to envision pulling with your elbows and drive them down towards the floor. Stick your chest out, and lean back just a bit. These are great cues to make sure you’re working your back instead of your arms. It is also important to perform this exercise with control and really focus on the target muscle instead of using momentum to lift yourself and pump out the reps.

HOW TO: ASSISTED PULL UPS 🙋🏽‍♀️⬇️⬇️⬇️ Pull ups are one of the best upper body exercises for building back strength and muscle definition. Using an assisted pull up machine can help you progress if you’re working on achieving unassisted pull ups, but form is everything! Let’s break it down: ✅ Top Video (Do’s): Notice how my body is fully extended at the bottom of the movement, and I pull myself all the way up until my chin clears the bar. My back and core are fully engaged, keeping my torso steady without swinging. This full range of motion (ROM) activates my lats, biceps, and core, ensuring I maximize each rep. Keep your shoulders down and back, avoiding any shrugging. 🚫 Bottom Video (Don’ts): Here, I’m cutting the movement short by not reaching full extension at the bottom and not pulling high enough at the top. This limits muscle engagement and reduces the effectiveness of the exercise. Without proper ROM, you’re missing out on building strength where it counts! Focus on controlled reps, maintaining tension through your back muscles, and resist using momentum to pull yourself up. Progress takes time, but with consistent practice and good form, you’ll be hitting those unassisted pull ups. #pullups #fitness #calisthenics #workout #crossfit #fitnessmotivation #gym #motivation #pushups #streetworkout #strength #muscleup #training #bodybuilding #gymnastics #dips #fit #handstand #pullup #bodyweight #calisthenicsworkout #workoutmotivation #squats #bodyweighttraining #bodyweightworkout #deadlift #muscle #frontlever #pushup

Save/Share if you find this useful 🚀 An Assisted Pull-up machine is excellent equipment for practicing pull-ups. Its mechanism assists you in lifting your body and helps you build the strength needed to perform a pull-up without assistance. However, 90% of people don’t know how to use the machine properly. Don’t worry—follow these simple steps to set it up correctly: 1. Set the weight according to your strength: The more weight you set, the easier the pull-up will be. Conversely, setting less weight will make it more challenging. For example, if you weigh 70 kg and set the assistance to 30 kg, the machine will help lift 30 kg of your body weight, leaving you to lift 40 kg on your own. 2. Stand onto the foot pads on the machine. 3. Retract your scapula: Pull your shoulder blades back and down to engage your back muscles. 4. Grip the handles just outside shoulder-width, as shown in the video. 5. Place your knees on the assistance pad and let your body hang down until your arms are fully extended. 6.

Comment “PULL UP” 💪 for a free pull up program! ⬇️ Let’s break down each of these assisted pull-up variations so you can decide which one is best for you! Good: Machine-Assisted Pull-Ups Pros: ✅Great for beginners who might be nervous to use bands - the machine is more stable & controlled. ✅Great for beginners learning the pattern ✅Easy to adjust & track weight/assistance level Cons: ❌Doesn’t mimic real pull-up mechanics. When doing a pull up, your body naturally tucks & swings forward. When on a machine, your body is fixed on a vertical platform & cannot naturally move in this position - meaning you don’t have to engage your body positioning ❌Assistance is constant throughout the range of motion. The machine helps you the same amount whether you’re at the bottom or the top of the pull-up ❌Not always available in all gyms Better: Band Across Hooks (Under Knees or Feet) Pros: ✅Assistance is not consistent throughout the pull up (more help at bottom, less at top) ✅Easy to scale by changing band thickness Cons: ❌Limits natural pull-up movement - doesn’t mimic real pull-up mechanics. Similar to the machine, with your feet directly under you on the band - your body isn’t able to naturally tuck with your core. ❌Takes confidence & coordination to get in & out of the band ❌Not the most ideal set up - requires a squat-rack with j-hooks Best: Band Attached From Bar (Band Under Knees or Feet) Pros: ✅Allows your body to do a pull up with the proper mechanics & movement pattern - encourages better body/core control & tension ✅Smoothest transition to unassisted pull-ups ✅Assistance is not consistent throughout the pull up (more help at bottom, less at top) ✅Easy to scale by changing band thickness Cons: ❌Takes confidence & coordination to get in & out of the band - slight learning curve for beginners ➡️So which one should you do & which one do I recommend? Do the assisted pull up variation that you feel most confident with now so that you can build strength & confidence at the bar! Then your goal is to be doing “band attached from bar” assisted pull ups until you can do a bodyweight pull up! #pullups #pullup #howtodoapullup

Pull ups are no joke! Here's how I've mastered them (number 3 is my secret weapon)… Ditch the jump-up-and-pray approach and try these exercises first: 1. Feet assisted pull ups By lowering the bar and reducing weight, you can practice the full movement and get more reps. 2. Band assisted pull ups Gradually reduce assistance and work towards a solo pull up. 3. Pull up negatives This is the secret to building pull up strength! Hang on, lower yourself slowly, and build that strength. You'll be crushing pull ups in no time 🙌 @majorfitness_global #majorfitmom #majorfitness #foryourstrongertomorrow #MFProseries #bodyweightexercises #workoutathome #resistancebandworkout #workoutleggings #fitnessinspiration #getmovingathome #getyourbodyback #postpartummotivation #getinshapemotivation #workoutmotivation #pullupseveryday #PullUpProgress #FitMomGoals #MomStrong #RealMomFitness #GarageGymWorkout #HomeWorkout #OvercomingObstacles #NeverGiveUp

3️⃣ tips for using the assisted pull up/dip machine👇🏽 ❗️On this machine, the heavier the weight you choose, the EASIER it becomes. This is because weight you’re trying to move is YOU, and the machine is assisting you by countering some of that load. TIP ☝🏽: Start with a weight heavier than your bodyweight, and adjust from there. TIP ✌🏽: Control both the concentric and eccentric of this movement (the up and down.) Don’t drop yourself down like a ton of bricks, and don’t yank yourself up to smash the machine at the top. TIP 🤟🏽: Take advantage of the assistance. Get comfortable in the full range of a pull up and dip with some help so you can carry on that movement to unassisted. No half reps here!

✨Wide grip vs. close (neutral) grip pull-ups – which one should you do? 🤔 🔹 Wide-Grip Pull-Ups = More lat width, less arm involvement, but tougher on the shoulders. 🔹 Neutral-Grip Pull-Ups = More biceps & forearm activation, greater range of motion, and easier on the joints. 💡 Want a wider back? Go wide. 💡 Want stronger arms & a joint-friendly pull? Go neutral. 🌼 Follow @stayfit.withdaisy for more videos like this! #gymworkouts #fullbodyworkout #gymmotivation #gymgirl #gymtips #workouttime #gymreels #pullups #upperbodyworkout
