How to perform Leverage Machine Pull Up with proper form
Setup
- Adjust the leverage machine to your height.
- Sit on the bench and grasp the pull-up handles or bar with an overhand grip.
Starting Position
- Position your feet on the footrest or platform.
- Engage your core and keep your back straight.
- Your arms should be fully extended, and shoulders should be relaxed.
Execution
- Pull Down: Engage your lats and pull the handles down towards your chest, bending your elbows at a 90-degree angle.
- Focus: Keep your shoulders down and back during the pull.
- Control: Move the handles smoothly; avoid jerking or using momentum.
Finish
- Lower the handles back to the starting position in a controlled manner.
- Ensure your arms are fully extended at the bottom before beginning the next repetition.
Key Points
- Maintain a neutral spine throughout the movement.
- Avoid leaning too far forward or backward.
- Keep your movements controlled to minimize strain on your shoulders.
