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.

Negatives work …
Negatives work because your muscle fibres are stronger once contracted- you may not be able to pull your entire bodyweight up but it is likely you can lower it. You are still developing grip and tendon strength and getting your muscles used to holding and lowering your entire bodyweight which will in turn help get you stronger and prepare you for pullling up. Once you can do a single pullup then do 9 negatives. Soon you will get 2 and 8 and so on.

that is useless because the point of doing a pull up is so you can lift your body weight, just like lifting weights. So, how will this help?…

Theres only a …
Theres only a certain amount you can do with bodyweight, just make sure you have a calorie surplus (Around 3000 cals a days for 11 stone), with plenty of protein, and start adding a bit of weight. Anything will do really, just strap something to your feet or back. When you can do 10 or 20 reps with it, add more weight. That’s the only way to keep growing in size.

Commandos… i think they are called, is like a pull up but where you are hanging with the sides of your body… first pulling up on one side then pulling up another..
Diamond push ups are where you place your hands as if it was a diamond or square.

Increase primary your back and biceps. It will gain you what some people call wings, or latisimus dorsi.
Do chin ups too, pull ups, commandos, diamond pushups, handstand pushups, squads without weight etc.

The gym I go too has a chin – Dip assister. you do a proper chinup, but you use the weights to take of some of your weight. Im not exactly a slim-jim myself and I am the same as you with chin ups, Im trying to work down the weights to get better, but I think this exercise is good if you dont have one.

Thanks for the vid. This is just what I needed, I just got the Iron Gym Extreme last weekend, I cant do a Pull up to save my life, LOL. The chair makes sense, Im going to try that for sure. I highly recommend anyone to get the Iron Gym Extreme, even though I cant do a pull up yet, I been trying everyday since I got it, and I feel my stomach getting tighter, Im getting results just by trying and its awesome.

I started doing chin-ups today. I could do 3 normal chin-ups in the first set. Then I added 3 negative chin-ups to the same set. When doing negatives I find myself swinging back and forth while lowering myself slowly. Is this a balance issue? Is it about lack of strenght? Maybe I just have to get used to doing chin-ups, but I wanted to ask anyway.
