does anyone do static pullups?

[audiophyle]

I'm going to try these next back day, i heard they hurt like a motherfucker. anyone had good results with this exercise?

Yep...not sure about results but my final rep on every set I just stay there for 8 seconds then do a really really slow negative

Hold yourself static at the top of your last pullup for as long as you can manage, then do a super-slow negative like The Red Dragon suggested, and then do another static hold at the bottom while you hang. It will finish you off nicely and help your grip strength quite a lot.

well to show you how weak my lats are, i can barely do 3 pullups, would doing this assisted up for so many reps work???

 

[The Red Dragon]

Yep, I could barely do a pull up so I just focused on negatives, worked my way up on a pullup then now I'm at 3 lol.

I did them. I credit them with helping to build my weighted pullup strength.

I've also found that in training women to do pullups static pullups and negatives are the fastest route to getting them to being able to do a pullup on their own.
