I would like to ask what are your recommendations for Negative-Only Weighted Chinups nowadays. I mean what rep range you currently recommend and how long each rep should take.
I own your New HIT book and The New Bodybuilding for Old School Results e-book – Negative Weighted Chins are mentioned in both of these books and in The New Bodybuilding they even get a separate chapter. You recommended to start with 8-10 second negatives and terminate the set when the lowering speed drops to 2-3 seconds. Recommended rep ranges are slightly different in both books: 8-12 in The New HIT and 4-8 in The New Bodybuilding.
I wonder what would you recommend nowadays in terms of both effectiveness and safety. I must admit that while I’m still young compared to many people participating in this forum, I’ve already reached the age when safety becomes more important.
