Tutorial: Weighted pull-ups

Weighted pull-ups

Target: Lats, rhomboids, traps, biceps

Form tips:

• The aim is to work your lats, not your forearms, so start with a lower weight.
• Avoid shrugging your shoulders as you pull upward.
• Control the movement by keeping your core activated and spine neutral.
• Activate your glutes and squeeze your elbows in at the top of the lift for max lat engagement.

Modification – Pull-ups:

• If you're not able to maintain good form, remove the weight and work up to it.
