Loop Band Negative Pull Up

BeginnerResistance band

Like the negative chin-up but with a wider overhand grip, this move trains the lowering phase of the pull-up. The looped band assists while you focus on a slow, controlled descent that works the lats, biceps, and shoulders. Slow negatives are a proven way to build the endurance and strength for full pull-ups.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Loop the band over the middle of the bar to form a foot cradle.

  2. 2

    Put one foot in the loop and grip the bar overhand.

  3. 3

    Start at the top with your chest close to the bar and your chin above it.

  4. 4

    Brace your core and lower slowly, resisting gravity down to a full dead hang.

  5. 5

    Reset at the top and repeat the controlled descent.
