1. Set your position
  Grip a secure bar, palms toward you for chin-ups. On the assisted machine mount safely and choose enough assistance.
2. Make the movement
  Pull elbows toward your sides, raise yourself toward the bar and lower slowly without swinging.
3. Breathe and control the pace
  Breathe out during the harder part and in on the return. Control the return instead of dropping the weight. Two reps in reserve means you could do about two more clean repetitions.
Watch out for
Do not kick for momentum; use assistance if needed.
