TRX Self-Assisted Pull-Up
Crouched under TRX handles at head height, pull up to standing with the legs helping as needed; the easiest way to rehearse the pull-up path.
How to do it
Setup
Handles at about head height, sitting back in a deep crouch under them, arms straight overhead, feet flat.
Steps
- Pull the elbows down to the ribs while the legs push only as needed.
- Finish standing tall with the hands beside the shoulders.
- Sink back into the crouch as the arms straighten.
Common mistakes
Standing up with the legs alone: the arms lead; the legs fill the gap. Handles set so high the arms never straighten: lower them to head height. Rounding the back in the crouch: sit back with the chest up.
Breathing
Exhale on the pull, inhale on the way down.
