The eccentric chin-up is one of the greatest tools you have for developing your client's strength to achieve a bodyweight chin-up goal. Eccentric training is a powerful modality for building strength and I highly recommend using it. My biggest point with using this exercise is client safety in a health and safety context. It is easy for your client to fall and if you are using a box to get them to the initial position, they could hit their head. Your first goal is to do no harm so recognise the risk and manage it.
