How to do it
- Set the assist weight and kneel on the pad or platform.
- Grab the bar wider than your shoulders.
- Pull your chest toward the bar, leading with your elbows.
- Lower under control to a full hang.
Beginner tips
- Pull with your back, not just your arms.
- Keep your chest up and shoulders down.
- Use more assist when form breaks down.
Keep in mind: More assist weight makes the lift easier; reduce it as you get stronger.
