Weighted Pull Up



Targets the back.

Wear a dip belt around your waist and attach it with one or more plates, a dumbbell, or a backpack full of weight. Keep your traps down and away from your ears, your legs straight and together in front of your body, and your toes pointed at the beginning and end of the starting position. Your arms are pointed up and your hands are at a little wider than shoulder width distance, palms facing forward and hands holding onto a pull up bar that’s attached to a wall, pull up bar that’s attached to a power tower, something else that resembles a pull up bar, the top of a wall, or the top of a door that’s securely open a little bit by an object keeping the door open. Open your chest and move it towards the bar as you pull yourself upwards by contracting your back up to the point when your hands are below your head. Return to the starting position.
