When you are first starting out doing your pull-ups or chin-ups and you have some difficulty getting up to the bar, there are some tips and tricks to overcoming this. You could do some assisted pull-up exercises to help you get stronger to pull yourself up on your own. What does assisted mean and how can you use this technique?
Assisted pull-ups means using any method to help lift or pull you up to the bar. This would allow you to do pull ups until you get strong enough to do them on your own. If you go to a gym that has a pull-up machine that you can adjust to make it easier to pull yourself up that would be great for starting out.
If you have a partner working with you, you could have them assist you up by lifting your feet. While hanging on the bar bend your knees, your partner would grasp your feet and lift as you pulled. Lower your self under your own power.
You could use a heavy duty resistance band that could be looped over or tied around a bar. It would need to be long enough that you can hang on the bar and get your foot in the loop. As you pull your self up the band will assist in getting your body up.
Place a stool or chair under a bar. Stand on the chair grasping the bar, then lower yourself down till your arms are extended, this is your starting point. As you pull yourself up, you can kind of use your legs to assist in pushing your body up then lowering back down.
When you do any of these assisted workouts, do at least 8 to 10 reps and 2 or 3 sets. Only do the pull-ups 3 times a week so you have time to recover and get stronger.
