Loop Band Negative Chin Up

BeginnerResistance band

This drill trains only the lowering half of the chin-up, with a looped band under your foot for assistance. Fighting gravity on the way down builds strength and size in the back, biceps, and forearms. Slow negatives are one of the best ways to build the raw strength needed for full unassisted chin-ups.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Loop the band over the center of the bar to make a foot cradle.

  2. 2

    Set one foot in the loop and grip the bar underhand.

  3. 3

    Get yourself into the top position with your chin above the bar.

  4. 4

    Brace your core and lower yourself slowly, resisting all the way down to a dead hang.

  5. 5

    Return to the top and repeat the controlled descent.
