How to Perform a Weighted Pull-Up?

While doing a pull-up is not that difficult, it requires proper technique. A variation of the standard pull-up, a weighted pull-up is more challenging and helps build muscle and upper-body strength. Here's how to perform it:

• Start by picking the weight you think you can carry. Now, securely attach it to a weight belt or weighted vest.
• Grab the pull-up bar with a comfortable grip and hands slightly further than shoulder-width apart.
• Hang from the bar with your legs suspended and bring yourself towards your chin.
• Pull yourself up and down, sticking out your chest.
• Keep your core engaged and use your arms and upper body to raise your chin above the bar.
• Lower yourself until your arms are extended and repeat.

While weighted pull-ups can be a great addition to your workout routine, it is best to check with your healthcare provider before adding these to your fitness regime.
