Exercise Profile

Assisted Kneeling Pull Up Wide Grip Overview

The assisted kneeling pull up wide grip workout is designed to primarily engage the Latissimus Dorsi (Lats) muscles.

By using the machine, individuals can perform pull-ups with a wide grip, targeting the Lats more effectively.

The machine assists with the movement, allowing users to gradually increase their strength and endurance in the Lats.

While the workout may also engage other muscles, the machine’s design ensures the Lats are the primary focus.

Assisted Kneeling Pull Up Wide Grip Instructions

  1. Adjust the assisted kneeling pull up wide grip machine to your desired settings.
  2. Place your knees on the knee pad and grip the handles with an overhand grip, wider than shoulder-width apart.
  3. Engage your core and keep your back straight as you lower your body down, allowing your arms to fully extend.
  4. Exhale and pull your body up by bending your elbows, bringing your chest towards the handles.
  5. Pause briefly at the top of the movement, squeezing your back muscles.
  6. Inhale and slowly lower your body back down to the starting position, fully extending your arms.
  7. Repeat steps 4-6 for the desired number of repetitions.

Assisted Kneeling Pull Up Wide Grip Tips

  1. Position yourself on the assisted kneeling pull up wide grip machine, ensuring your knees are securely placed on the padded platform and your feet are firmly planted on the ground.
  2. Grasp the wide grip handles with your palms facing away from you, maintaining a shoulder-width distance between your hands. This grip will primarily target your lats, giving them the opportunity to engage and strengthen.
  3. As you begin the exercise, focus on initiating the movement from your lats. Imagine pulling your elbows down and back, squeezing your shoulder blades together. This conscious engagement will enhance the activation of your lats, maximizing the benefits of the exercise.
  4. Throughout the movement, maintain a controlled and steady pace. Avoid using momentum or swinging your body, as this can diminish the effectiveness of the exercise and put unnecessary strain on your muscles and joints.
  5. Remember to breathe steadily and exhale as you pull yourself up, inhaling as you lower yourself down. This rhythmic breathing pattern will not only provide oxygen to your working muscles but also help you maintain focus and concentration during the exercise.
