Thank you for excellent suggestions. I bought a power tower on sale. I have been liftng free weights a lot but not progressing. I got the idea for body weight exercises, got the (under)powered power tower and couldn't figure it out. Unti I watchef your video. Then I brought up a chair for one side and a rail for the other side now I'm working the muscle groups I'll have to recruit to get the pull up. I feel better, my posture is improving, and I'm getting stronger again. Thank you for your inspiring and educational video
I personally have used the assisted pull up machine and have progressed within a month or 2, going from 0 bodyweight reps to 7 bodyweight reps... but you can even just get yourself to the top of a pull up bar (stand on a bench or box) & resist the eccentric like she said in the video... that's the best way to get stronger in pull ups
Yes a pull up machine is a really good way of getting more pull ups! It's a better alternative than the banded pull ups as its more controllable and the assistance is more consistent. Just need to be careful to not "get stuck" at a weight, and keep pushing lower and lower!
Hey Jenni / Tom … Could you switch out the Aussie and Low Bar Pull Ups for gym rings? Eg horizontal ring row and have the rings higher to replicate a low bar version?
Best video about pull Ups that I've seen on UA-cam. Thank You!

Yep, clear and very approachable for “normal” people and not gym junkies…😀
pull ups are so underrated these days! Great info 💪
I know right!! Thanks for commenting! 😄

Richard Peckham amazing!! Thankyou for commenting! 😄 love hearing about other people’s journeys!
Awesome
Thanks for the regressions! What are your thoughts on the weighted pull-up machine in gyms to build up to using a non-assisted pull-up?
