Pull-up (negative)
Expert Advice
Control the descent to maximize muscle engagement and time under tension for the lats.
How-to-do Steps
- Grab the pull-up bar with an overhand grip, hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
- Use a box or jump to get to the top position of the pull-up with your chin above the bar.
- Slowly lower yourself down with a controlled motion, taking 3 to 5 seconds to reach the bottom.
- Once fully extended, step back onto the box or ground.
- Repeat for the desired number of reps, focusing on the negative phase of the movement.
