Weighted Pull-Up
The weighted pull-up is an advanced variation of the standard pull-up, where additional weight is used to increase resistance. This exercise primarily targets the latissimus dorsi (lats) and also engages the biceps and forearms. It requires significant upper body strength, coordination, and experience to perform safely and effectively.
Step-by-Step Form & Technique
- 1.Grab the pull-up bar with an overhand grip, slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
- 2.Hang from the bar with your arms fully extended and your body straight.
- 3.Engage your back muscles and pull your body up towards the bar, keeping your elbows close to your body.
- 4.Continue pulling until your chin is above the bar.
- 5.Pause for a moment at the top, then slowly lower your body back down to the starting position.
- 6.Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
