It's your muscle building coach Lee Hayward here and just the other day I was having an e-mail discussion with Chris, who is one of my online coaching students. We we're talking about his back workouts and during our chat we got onto the topic of doing pull ups.
Pull Ups are one of the best exercises you can do for building up
your upper body. They work multiple muscles in your back, arms, chest, core, etc. and they develop real world functional strength.
The only problem is that pull ups are hard as heck!
They are a very advanced exercise and it can be hard and frustrating for beginners to perform even a single rep, let alone master them and perform multiple sets and reps.
However, there are some simple assisted pull up variations that you can start doing in your workouts right now to help build up your strength and work capacity.
Doing these assisted pull up variations will allow you to work your way up to doing proper pull ups with your entire bodyweight.
