Box Assisted Single-Leg Pull-Up

Box Single Leg Assisted Pull-Up

Starting Position:
1. Place the box under the pull-up bar to ensure you can reach it easily.
2. Stand on the box with one foot, keeping the other foot hanging off or resting on the side of the box.
3. Grab the pull-up bar with both hands, positioning them slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Your palms should be facing away from you for a standard pull-up grip.
4. Engage your core and keep your body in a straight line from your head to your toes.

**Movement 1. Begin by using the strength of your standing leg to help lift your body towards the bar. Focus on pulling with your arms while utilizing your leg for support.
2. As you pull up, bring your chin towards the bar. Ensure that your shoulders are down and back, avoiding any hunching.
3. Hold the top position briefly, ensuring your chin is above the bar and your core is engaged.
4. Slowly lower yourself back down, controlling the movement to prevent swinging.
5. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions before switching to the other leg or finishing your set.

Tips for Beginners:
- If you're struggling to pull yourself up, focus on using more assistance from your leg.
- As you gain strength, try to reduce the amount of weight supported by your standing leg.
- Maintain a stable and steady breathing pattern throughout the exercise, exhaling as you pull up and inhaling as you lower down.
