How to do it
The negative pull-up consists of lowering slowly from the top position: it is a step toward the full pull-up.
Get to the top of the bar using a bench or a jump, chin over the bar, overhand grip.
Lower yourself as slowly as possible until your arms are straight, taking 3 to 5 seconds, then go back up using the bench.
Control the descent from start to finish, without dropping suddenly at the bottom.
