Track Assisted Chin-Up (Machine) in MyoAmigo Log your sets, get a starting weight based on your history, and compare each session with your previous work.

How to do it

  1. 1Set the assistance weight on the stack. A HIGHER number means MORE help, so it makes the set easier. The goal over time is to need less of it.
  2. 2Kneel or stand on the platform and take a shoulder-width underhand grip on the bar. Let the platform carry you to a full hang. This is your starting position.
  3. 3Pull yourself upward by driving the elbows down toward your ribs until your chin clears the bar, keeping the torso upright.
  4. 4Pause briefly at the top, then lower under control to a full hang.
