Pull-up (negative)

Expert Advice

Control the descent to maximize muscle engagement and time under tension for the lats.

How-to-do Steps

  1. Grab the pull-up bar with an overhand grip, hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
  2. Use a box or jump to get to the top position of the pull-up with your chin above the bar.
  3. Slowly lower yourself down with a controlled motion, taking 3 to 5 seconds to reach the bottom.
  4. Once fully extended, step back onto the box or ground.
  5. Repeat for the desired number of reps, focusing on the negative phase of the movement.
