Assisted Parallel Close Grip Pull-Up

How to perform

Here is a step-by-step guide to performing the Assisted Parallel Close Grip Pull-Up:

1. Begin by adjusting the assistive machine or securing a resistance band to the pull-up bar at a height that allows you to comfortably reach the bar while standing.

2. Stand on the assistive platform or step into the resistance band, ensuring that it is securely in place.

3. Grasp the pull-up bar with a parallel, close grip, keeping your hands shoulder-width apart and palms facing towards you.

4. Hang from the bar with your arms fully extended and your body in a straight line from head to toe.

5. Engage your back muscles and core as you pull yourself up towards the bar, leading with your elbows and keeping them close to your sides.

6. Continue pulling up until your chin is above the bar, then slowly lower yourself back down to the starting position with control.

7. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, focusing on proper form and controlled movements throughout the exercise.

8. Once you have completed your set, carefully step down from the assistive platform or release the resistance band from the bar.

By incorporating the Assisted Parallel Close Grip Pull-Up into your workout routine, you can strengthen and tone the muscles in your upper body while also working towards mastering the traditional close grip pull-up.
