Brendan Lynch Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Hello everyone! I have been stuck at a pull up max of about 13~14 for quite a while now. I am looking to increase this by beginning weighted pull ups. What do you think would be a better way of adding weight. Should I use a weighted vest or a weight belt with weights? Thanks!

Daniel Burnham Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I think you should try more advanced pull-up progressions. It's cheaper has less risk of overdoing it and allows you to progress to more difficult movements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Rene Losier Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I've used a belt quite comfortably for a number of years now, and I've built up to hang 70lbs off of it. I actually started adding weights when I was at around the same max as you. Not sure what my max is though...all I know is I'm unmatched in my gym in pull ups Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have rings if they help but I don't know much (anything) about the different kinds of progressions that are out there.Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
