Hey all! Looking at the day 2 gym workout and wondered if anyone can offer some technique/form tips for the Smith machine pull-ups? I usually can only do 2-3 reps (not the 6-8 reps) and wondered if my technique is the reason I’m so weak with ANY pull-up type moves (even when assisted). Anything to help me improve with the Smith machine pull-ups (and, by extension, any other pull-up type move)?

Absolutely, I usually have my clients start doing these with their feet on the ground at an angle extended out with knees bent (more of a modified version), not straight knees, feet up on a bench as in the demo video. As you get stronger, you’ll be able to put your legs straighter and up higher. I hope this helps! 🙂
