So I've pretty much plateaued when it comes to pull-ups (and on the very low end, I might add: probably 8 reps/set for neutral grip, 6 reps/set on forward). I do other back exercises as well, but I'm wondering whether I could actually take advantage of varying my workout a bit more and also improve my form by using the assist machine to do reduced weight/higher rep sets. Is there any downside to using this (like the way Smith Machines can actually hurt your form)? I vary the weight/reps as well as handle/grip on pull-downs and rows so wondering if I can get some mileage out of that for pull-ups.
