Negative pull ups are used in our Bouldering Strength and Power Program. They are an introduction to regular pull ups for people who can’t yet do one.
When completing negative pull ups make sure that you have a stable platform to help you get into position, your body remains calm, and you’re not kicking your legs. You also want to ensure that you focus on stabilizing your shoulder by keeping your shoulder blades back and down as much as possible.
If it is too difficult to perform negative pull ups with added weight, you can use your body weight or remove weight. To remove weight utilize a pulley system.
Warning:
Do not complete negative pull ups if you are currently suffering from any pain in your shoulders or elbows.
