I suck at pullups. How do I do negatives and flexed hangs?
[/ QUOTE ]
Negative =
Grab the bar, jump up with your feet & arms helping, now resist falling down as hard as you can so that you have a slow controlled descent.
Hang = same thing but isometric hold with elbows at 90 degrees instead of a slow descent
"Kipping" to cheat is perhaps better, but you can combine all 3 cheats. This should be done after you've done as many real ones as possible.
Another thing you can do are "upside down pushups" with a bar in the power rack where you have your feet on the ground and keep your body straight as a board and pull up top the bar at an angle.
