Pull-ups are a great place to start when building the strength and endurance necessary for overhead strength. But the pull-up is only a tool to help you build that fitness and strength. The real power is in the work.
A pull-up is one of the fundamental and most difficult exercises in the world. It requires a roomy inflection of the arms while the body hangs in space in a static position. To do a pull-up well, it takes long-term practice and progression, which is why it's so hard to learn. Even when you think you've mastered the technique, it's often hard to tell.
To perform a weighted pull-up, start with your chin on the bar and your hands slightly off the bar. Perform a controlled arch of your back, keeping your chest up until your chin passes the bar. Then slowly lower your body until your chin touches the bar again or your chest is roughly at the level of your hips. Keep your core engaged and your chest slightly lifted.
The weighted pull-ups time is the amount of time it takes you to complete a weighted pull-up as described above, and includes the amount of time you spend on the bar, the amount of weight you lift, and the amount of time you “rest”. You must complete the weighted pull-ups in a specified amount of time.
Weighted pull-ups began as a barbell exercise. But there are many different pull-up variations to choose from, which can improve your pull-up strength, endurance, and motivation—all while building muscle mass, endurance, strength, and flexibility.
