Negative Chinup

  1. Set a bench under a chinup bar, step up on the bench, and grasp the bar using a shoulder-width, underhand grip. From the bench, jump up so that your chest is next to your hands, then cross your ankles behind you.
  2. Try to take 5 seconds to lower your body until your arms are straight. If that's too hard, lower yourself as slowly as you can. Jump up to the starting position and repeat.
