I like to take it old school and cross my legs at the anckel and get somebody behind me to boost me up when I need it. But if your like me and dont have friends then the machine with the counter balance is a great way to get started. There is a guy at my gym that will do 20 or so wide grip pull ups with a 25kg weight plate.
