  • You have no idea what you're talking about. Negatives are a proven way of improving strength to the point where an individual can do actual pullups. It's used in rehab for athletes, and even the military. My brother became very ill during Marine Basic Training, and had to negative pullups due to strength loss. He went from being able to do no pullups to 7 in a month. Tell him it's useless.

  • @spotdathief - Instead of responding without hesitation, stating that this exercise is useless, take a minute to do a bit of research on these type of exercises.

  • That was beautifully explained. i didn't have any idea what to make of the word 'Negative'

  • @MrLag1337 go e-lift harder.

  • @maxyliano Depending on your age, I wouldn't do these much more than once per week.. realistically, once every 5 days or so is probably fine. As far as reps go, I'd just go until failure, where you're just dropping like he describes.

  • @maxyliano at the beginning try to do 3-5 reps and 1 - 3 sets. Once you find it too easy you might be able to perform normal pullups. Good luck!

  • how many reps/times a week would you recommend? this could really help me!

  • Done my first set on Sunday and still ache all over my forearm, triceps and upper back, is this normal?

  • @chiconspiracy not only does he not know what he is talking about, he calls it a pull up when he is actually doing a chin up grip lol

  • I think the gravitron would work good for this too.

  • Simple explanation, thanks.

  • For more advanced exercising you can treat this exercise as a regular pull up only you will start on top instead of the bottom position. Each time you are in starting position you hold it for 5 secs. That 'll be a challenge
