A little routine you can use the Powerbar 2 to get your first Pull Up & Chin Up

If you're a complete beginner to pull-ups and chin-ups then you may be a little nervous of trying to work on building up to your first one in the gym or around other people. I know I was. When I first bought my Powerbar 2 I decided to work hard to get my first pull up. View Powerbar 2 on Amazon So I got a chair, placed the chair just off-centre underneath the Powerbar 2, and attempted to do pull up negatives. A pull up negative, is just standing on the chair, holding yourself up against the bar (in the top position of a pull up) then slowly lower yourself down to the ground. Then you repeat, stand back on the chair, hold yourself in the top position of a pull-up and slowly lower yourself down. Repeat this regularly until you can do 10 negatives in a row using your Powerbar 2. Once you have 1 set of 10 reps then build up to multiple sets of 10 reps. A pull up negative is considered to be one of the better ways to build towards your first bodyweight pull up. Once you're able to do 3 sets of 10 reps of negative pull-ups regularly, you're well on your way to getting your first full bodyweight pull-up.
