Three questions

      Very few gyms have a dedicate pull-up bar, so it is either the cables or the power racks. You'd whine like a little b***h about either.

      200lbs bodyweight + 80lbs, for a 3x5. Not sure what 5RM is.
      I don't typically do max reps on bodyweight pullups but around 20.

      Problem is a lot of gyms don't have dedicated pullup bars because "lmao just use the one under the cable crossover!". Even though using that fricking thing is a pain in the ass because you're trying to work around multiple people constantly using those.

      I do mine in one of the squat racks since my gym has plenty of them and they have a top bar. Or worst case scenario I'll set the smith machine bar to the top and use that.

    I don’t know what my 1rm would be but I’m trying to get 3x8 on 26kg at the moment. Stuck at 3x7 with shit ROM. It’s annoying.
    I can do 20 bw pullups, maybe 25 on a good day.
    For sure weighted pull ups made my bw pull ups better, no question.

    >What is your max weighted pullup?
    I did +160lbs a while back at 225lbs. Haven't bothered maxing out since though.
    >Do you think weighted pullups helped you
    Chest to bar about 15. If I'm just doing the chin over bar shit though about 25.
    >Do you think weighted pullups helped you improve your bodyweight pullups?
    I guess. If I focused on bodyweight I could probably do more, but I really only do bodyweight as a warm up or for fun.
    >that guy who does weighted pullups in the cable machine
    The bar being angled just helps my tendinitis leave me alone.

    100 lbs. My goal is to do a weighted pull-up with my gf hanging on me.
    >How many bodyweight pullups can you do?
    About 10-15
    >Do you think weighted pullups helped you improve your bodyweight pullups?
    Yes but doing it with weights make it more fun and challenging.

    +30kg for 5
    >How many bodyweight pullups can you do?
    about 16. havent maxxed out in a while though
    >Do you think weighted pullups helped you improve your bodyweight pullups?
    to a point, but past 15 you need to be more muscle endurance specific rather than strength focused

    Log your weighted pull ups with absolute weight (your body + weights), thats the trick to getting powerlifting progression schemes to work for weighted pull ups

    Can do +35 lbs for 8 so according to an online 1RM calculator I could do +90 lbs. I would guess I can do 15 pull-ups if I do them fast (not kipping, just not as controlled). Weighted definitely improved my bodyweight pull-ups, I had a hard time progressing reps. Progressing weight was easier.

    Got up to 37.5kg for 3 reps.

    I started at 10kg, 3 chin ups, rest, 3 pullups, rest, 3 hammer grips.

    Every day for a week and add 0.5kg at the start of the following week.

    40kg x 10 for pullups
    >Do you think weighted pullups helped you improve your bodyweight pullups?
    absolutely, try doing BW pullups once you get better at weighted, it feels like pulling yourself up in the water

        there are people out there doing one arm weighted muscle ups and you're in awe of someone doing pullups with a little extra weight?

            kek, this is natty lifting kid, you're not the first to criticize my physique in relation to my lifts
            what makes is funny is the fact that it usually comes from novices who don't really know what to expect from lifting, are high or their IT influencers' bullshit and refuse to believe you can move a lot of weight and not look awesome
            I don't even look that horrible to justify slinging shit at me for claiming to lift a LITTLE more than a median ISTizen
            if you're indeed relatively new to lifting, remember that lifting natty with average genetics will not make you look like the e-celebs you watch on YT or tiktok, if you want to soften the blow, hop on gear after your first two years of lifting

                But you knew that before you posted the pic of your self. It dosn't matter, a 40kg for 10 pull up up at 96kg is an impressive feat and the chances you estatting here is huge. Post vid. Who cares what anyone says if you can lift that you fricking b***h

        Yea I want to know his routine aswell.
        I've been stalling at 70lbs weighted pullups for a while now.
        can do 70lbs 5x5 but when I increase to 75lbs I can't even hit a solid 5 reps on my first set.
        makes no sense

          With that kind of volume, that's craaaazy
          But I suppose that is possible
          Heard weighted pullups and dips do seem to be sticklers for some
          Maybe use fractional plates and see how it goes
          Also consider deloading perhaps

      my current absolute best is +82.5 kg with at least fair form since it got accepted for competition.
      Max bw? idk last time i checed like 9 mo ago it was 25 after 2 hours of casual bouldering. Id say i can do 30. weighted defo help with bw pulls up to intermediate levels of BW pull ups but when u aim for moronic levels like 50+ reps then i dont think its the way. maybe very light weighted pull ups like +5 or 10kg and doing 20-30 reps with it would help but i dont think anything above +30kg would be helpful at that point

      this is useless and a waste of money if u aim for real weights. maybe your cousin is jsut fricking stupid

      yeah, good rule of thumb when you can crank out 10-15 strict pullups, start to add a little weight
      I started adding weight when I got to 12 strict bw pullups

    There's gotta be a better, easier, quicker way to do this. I'm just gonna get a cheap backpack to see how it works for me. Setting up weights with that belt thing takes way too much time and work.

      backpack fricks up your form. don't do backpack pull ups, it's a waste of time. a cheap 3m rope is like $3 and does the job just fine if you can't afford a proper belt

    The carryover is limited beyond a certain point. You gotta train at what you want to improve.

    I'm doing 20kg 5x10 at 68kg bw.
    max bw 30+, haven't tried in a while tho. I've gained 4kg since I stopped training bw pull ups. was doing way too much volume and getting nowhere
    do them sometimes to warm up tho it feels ridiculously light now. if I could do 30 before I bet I can do more now

    >max
    currently 5 reps with 35 lbs. added on, and I weigh 235.
    >max bodyweight
    about 12 on a good day
    When I was 205 and in my best shape, I could bang out sets of 8 with 50 lbs. added and hit 20 at bodyweight, but I'm almost 50 now and have a few extra lbs on me, so that ain't happening for now.
