If you want your first pull-up you need to be using the assisted pull-up machine!

ABOUT:
Unlike other machines the heavier you go the easier it is because it pushes you up as you go. Step up and get your hands on first as it will drop down as soon as you’re on it. Lower yourself down slowly using your core. From hanging with knees on pad, pull yourself up to the top nice and slow on the way down too. To get off, foot down and bring the weight back up slowly so it’s loaded fresh for the next person.

Little secret most people don’t know.
If you have your pull-up, or want to use for dead hangs, you can use it without the pad too, just pull out and drop it down slowly and go from standing.

Use this alongside other pulling exercises and not instead of them. Things like Lat pulldowns, rows and dead hangs all build the same muscles from different angles and the assisted machine on its own won’t get you there as fast.

For example, Pair it with pulldowns for that same pulling pattern and rows for back strength, and dead hangs to build your grip and shoulder stability. Progress on all of them together and your first pull-up comes a lot quicker.

DM REALIGN if you want a proper plan to build up to your first pull-up.

Three sessions a week. That’s what built my strength and it’s what I build client’s programmes around too.

More days in the gym doesn’t mean more progress. What matters is what happens in the sessions you do have and whether you’re consistent with them.

Full body. Progressive overload. No hours on cardio you hate. No walking in and guessing what to do.

This isn’t a shortcut. It’s what actually works when you’ve got a job, a life and a limited amount of time to give.

If you want a plan built around the time you actually have DM me REALIGN.
