Reply With QuoteYou might want to do pull downs as many as you can, then negatives, since youll still have negative strength after you finish your pulldowns.

Pullups / pulldowns
Ok i just installed a bar dip and pull up station. Because of my weight, using a wide grip with overhand grip, I can only pull myself once about eye heigths to the bar.
Here is my ? which do you feel would be better doing cable pulldowns with as much weight as i can do, or negitive pull ups
Thanks Tough Old Man

interms of stimulating hypertrophy the negative (eccentric) portion of a lift induces greater amounts of microtrauma to skeletal muscle then does the conccentric portion of the lift.
so focus on the pulldowns with maximum weights and do negatives on pull-ups....I train differently than most, my beef is with gravity the weights on the bar are just the medium...Thanks to Wall Street your slice of the American Pie has been reduced to a crumb.
