    How to: Assisted Standing Pull-up

    1. Set the assist level to match your strength needs.
    2. Grab the handles with a pronated grip.
    3. Start from a hanging position with arms fully extended.
    4. Pull your body upwards until your chin is above the bar.
    5. Lower yourself back down with control.

    Common Mistakes

    • Swinging the body to gain momentum.
    • Not fully extending the arms at the bottom of the movement.
    • Pulling with the arms rather than engaging the back muscles.

    Modifications

    • Use a resistance band for extra support.
    • Perform the exercise with a wider grip for variation.

    Tips

    • Engage your core throughout the movement to maintain stability.
    • Control the descent to enhance strength gain effectively.
    • Gradually decrease assistance as you build strength!
