Exercise of the week. Eccentric 90 Degree Knee Chin-up’s. A great combo exercise which hammers the core and upper body. It’s also a great chin up variation to keep people honest who like to use momentum.
Most people focus on pulling up—but the real strength is built on the way down.
Eccentric chin-ups force you to slow everything down and actually own the movement. No dropping, no relying on momentum—just full control from top to bottom. Knees bent to lock in the core, keeping the body tight so every inch of the descent is intentional.
This is where you build strength, stability, and resilience in the muscles that matter. It’s not the easiest way to train, but it’s one of the most effective.
