The Negative Pull Up

Watch this video to learn the benefits, the technique, and my recommendations on how to incorporate the negative pull-up into your workout routine. The negative pull-up is especially effective because it is an eccentric motion that allows your body to do more than if you were to just do normal pull-ups. Using negative pull-ups helps you get stronger more quickly, practice perfect pull-up form with better upper-back and shoulder engagement (less arms), and prevent injury in your shoulders. Pulling exercises are especially important for yoga practitioners to balance the pushing-dominant nature of yoga.
