Prolly not, though I am pretty good with weighted pullups. You're a lot bigger than I am, I think.

weighted pull-ups

Who are you? Hercules?


You'd be shocked to see how quickly and consistently your back will grow. I did my own made-up program of 3x5 of weighted pull-ups. I did them twice a week for 3 weeks then did an off week. At the end of those four weeks I added 5 pounds and repeated. It's sort of a play off of the 5x5 program. I got to where I could do 3x5 with about 65# hanging from a weight belt.

I sort of plateaued there, and now I'm taking a reverse course and trying to increase my unweighted, unbroken pull-up sets. I started with 3x10 and I add 2 reps to the total every 4 weeks. I'm currently at 3x22, and it's absolutely brutal. It just destroys your forearms, grip, and is a borderline cardio exercise when you get to that high of reps. I think that's about my limit as I am wrecked now after my third set.

Pull-ups are the shite! (or maybe I just like them the best cause they're by far my best exercise ha)

I should probably do some low rep stuff to get my weighted up but I also weigh 215 lbs.

Yea see that's where I luckout. I'm pulling 175#, maybe 180# of deadweight so for me to add 40# from a weight belt basically means we're pulling the same thing.

I can get a solid 15 and push for 18 unweighted. But I want to put on weights so I look badass. Chainz would be cool too.

I wear high socks to create an illusion of big calves. Far from being a beast. Like Hugh Jackman calves :'(
