DeFrancosGym.com - Exercise Index: Eccentric Rest-Pause lat pulldowns

Choose a weight that you can perform 10-12 reps with...rest about 20 seconds and then perform 5-8 more reps...rest another 20 seconds and perform 3-5 more reps. That equals 1 set! (Use the same weight for the entire "set" and take approx. 3sec. to 'lower' each rep.)

@ArCxlioN Are you fucking kidding? Negatives produce some of the fastest strength increases I have ever seen, most notably in the pullup.

@Zabbai Thumbs don't really matter.

@Elite1987 pullups over pulldowns anyday

[vongSTAA]

@ArCxlioN are you telling me doing pull-up negatives don't help you do more pull-ups? because if so then you're a fucking idiot,. I was barely able to do a pull up before and used negatives as a way to increase my pull up strength and was eventually able to do a few.

@vongSTAA this is wrong

[Zabbai]

I curl my thumbs around the bar.

@vongSTAA pullups are just as essential as pulldowns....

[joecandito]

The best way to do pull-ups is to DO pull-ups!

If you aren't able to do two or more reps, then do negatives. Just jump up as high as you can and hold onto the bar (so you're at the top position) and then lower yourself as slowly as you can.

Do enough of these and eventually you'll be able to do pull-ups and you'll definitely feel sore the next day!
