When to Add Weight to Pullups

[alfredoatencio]

Going from weighted pull-ups to body weight pull-ups makes you feel like you’re flying up to the bar. It’s extremely satisfying

honestly was hard to focus with his blue eyes staring at me so intently..

Ditch the belt. Clench the EZ bar between your cheeks. Great for the lats and glutes

Pull ups are such an underestimated workout. Like 90% of people cant even reach 10 including muscular people since it's dependent on both weight and upper strength. If someone tells you they can easily do 20 in one go, 99% of the time, they talking bullshit.

Weighted dips and pull ups were a major game changer for me.

Just wanted to say your videos have greatly changed the way I approach my training. I’m 37 and just started training again after being on and off most of my life. With your guidance, this is the best I’ve felt and looked. Thank you.

Got plenty of extra weight on my pullups at the moment

In may I was able to do 3 ugly pull ups. I start training seriously and yesterday I managed to do three clean pull-ups with 15% of my body weight. It's insane how much you can improve yourself if you want to.

Even king Kong started light, and look at him now, smashing planes out of the air.

Done listening to anyone else but Mike. I can’t train like a 20 year old bull anymore.

And everything he says works for me perfectly every time.

Plus I love the little jabs he does when explaining his technique for an exercise.

💯 after my weighted pull-ups I do body weight. And holy crap it feels amazing!

I’m currently doing loaded pull ups with a 20lb weight vest. I’m hitting 5-7 reps. 5 really clean with nice eccentric control.

how did this man get me excited for back day in 30 seconds

[nicolasmontclair]

doing calisthenics and street lifting since 3 years, i completely agree with this man !

[ennisgunns]

Thanks for addressing that. In general I never know when to add weight or add reps.

It’s a similar feeling to when you grab light dumbbells after very heavy dumbbells. They feel like you’re lifting nothing.

When I was 17, I almost blew my back out under heavy squats. A trip to my chiropractor showed slight curvature of my spine.
Dr. recommended me to strengthen my entire back muscles by doing lots of lat work to help support my spine. After 2 years, my back was so strong, I used to be able to climb a rope to the top of a tree using no legs to assist.
I used to be able to do weighted pullups with 2 45# plates strapped to a weight belt for 6 reps.
I could do my body weight 40-50 reps.
That was a lifetime ago it seems. 54 now.

MIKE WHY U LOOKS SO DANG PRECIOUS IN THIS VIDEO LIKE DANG

[chriss]

Weighted pull-ups and ring dips give a well-rounded upper body.

I can't believe how much better I am doing pull ups with the versa grips, absolutely game changing
