How to do it
- Set the assistance weight; more weight means more help from the machine.
- Grip the top handles overhand, slightly wider than your shoulders, and step or kneel onto the platform.
- Pull until your chin clears the handles, driving your elbows down toward your ribs.
- Lower yourself under control until your arms are straight.
- When you finish, keep holding the handles and step off onto the foot rails one foot at a time, letting the platform rise slowly.
Warm up first and pick a weight you can control through the whole movement. Stop if something hurts.
