Negative Pull-Up
Also called: eccentric pull-up, pull-up negative
No demo clip here — the movement is coached inside the session itself. Every workout in the library is a follow-along.
Coaching cues
- jump or step to the top, chin over the bar
- lower yourself on a slow three-to-five count
- fight it all the way to straight arms
- ribs down, no swinging
Common mistakes
- dropping fast through the bottom half
- starting with the chin barely at bar height
- doing so many reps that the last ones free-fall
Take care with: shoulder, elbow. Members who list these injuries never see this exercise in a program.
Easier: Scapular Pull-Up
Harder: Band-Assisted Pull-Up
