Holy phuck @ assisted pull-ups (apology thread)

Cliffs:
- Never did assisted pull-ups in 10+ years of lifting because they look too ****gy time (ded srs)
- Did them the other day because AshWar and IronFeta roasted my pull-up form and recommended them
- Holy phuck @ the stretch and pump they give you
- Will literally be doing them nearly every back day (in addition to real pull-ups obv)

Pics of back pump:

How can they produce more stretch than the normal pull up/chin?

Dunno brah, srs try them. Once you've finished your sets of normal pull-ups, do some sets on the assisted machine with low weight. I promise, it will stretch you to your heart's content.

Easier to drag out the time under tension especially when you have already worked the back a good amount.

It’s a great pump at the end of back day or a good warmup

Damn straight. I start with sets of bodyweight then start with the least amount of counter weight on the assisted, going down the stack till my back is destroyed.

Exactly. Being able to superset pull-ups is absolutely clutch.

Yep, love weighted pull-ups/chin-ups too brah. Easily the most Chad movement, brb too strong for my own body brah u mirin?

Assisted is an excellent compliment for this movement.

Know these feels. You have to swallow your pride to do them, but honestly, I am going to from now on. Will do strong sets of normal pull-ups immediately beforehand to assert dominance obviously.

How do you engage the lats on an assisted pull-up machine, though? Every time I've used the assisted pullup machine it becomes an arm workout... I can't feel it in my lats...

BTW, i'm a ****geutte that can't do regular pullups...

So this is a srs acceptable cue? I use this, but I've seen people saying this method disengages forearms.

Why do you care about your forearms on a back movement? They will naturally respond with compound movements, especially deadlifts. Unless you just have sh!tty genetics. (Ded fkn Srs)

The most difficult muscles for me to isolate:

Lats, upper chest...


I used to have tremendous difficulty isolating my glutes, but I've discovered that using the rowing machine (proper form) and recumbent bike does a fantastic job isolating the glutes....


I have yet to figure out how to get that pump and DOMS burn in my lats and upper chest.

I do them poverty AF by standing on a stool and assisting with my legs. Another one I like is to get to the top of a rep and hold myself up there for 30 seconds or so and slowly come back down. Muscles are tired AF after doing a bunch of this chit.
