Add some weight!

Written by Dan Krueger

I do a LOT of pull ups. I try to do at least 100 pull ups per workout by working sets of 10 in between whatever exercise I am doing. Pull ups work your back, biceps, shoulders and core and I find that adding some weight to the traditional pull up can really intensify your workout. In any set of pull ups it is very important that you go to full extension and not a half rep. Full extension will open and activate your shoulders and really engage all of the muscles in your back. This is a short clip of a set weighted with 45lbs.
