Home lat workout, assisted pullups exercises for beginners
Pullups are the all-around best exercise for lats but it takes a lot of strength to do them, a catch-22 of sorts. This video clip shows three ways you can do assisted pullups until you are strong enough to do them on your own. For more information on home workouts, please see my free website:
http://fitness.scoobysworkshop.com
This video shows some simple mechanical apparatus for doing assisted pullups. Please make sure all the components are properly rated for at least 2X the maximum load, only quality mountaineering components should be used. If you are not competent to build such a system, please consult a mechanical engineer or professional mountaineer. The video shows the use of a belt, this is only appropriate for very light weights, for heavier weights a mountaineering harness should be used.
Anyone can be healthier, have more energy, sleep better, and feel better about themselves through bodybuilding. Bodybuilding doesn’t have to be expensive or take a lot of time, gyms are great but home workouts can save you time and money. A cheap dumbbell set from a garage sale or walmart is all it takes to get started with your home workouts.

It’s fine to do it …
It’s fine to do it with your knees bent, that’s a personal preference. I do that because otherwise my feet touch the bottom because I do them in a doorway. In gyms they have you step up so you can have straight legs at fully straightened arms. Maybe it helps to focus on the arms or something (curling knee takes slight focus) but pulling is pulling.

I’m not scooby… but-
If you have any sturdy exsposed pipes or ceiling beams, say in your basement, those can work. But you can buy or build a pull up bar for like 20 bucks. Trees in your back yard are also good if you have gloves to protect your hands

Hey, great video! I have one of the doorway pullup bars, so I’m gonna start using it again.
One question though- what is the best position for your legs? I can get 2 or 3 reps in while keeping my movement smooth, but I have a tendency to bend my knees while I do it. I’m not kicking my legs or struggling, but I’m worried because it feels like I’m flexing my abdominal muscles more than my upper body.
