Eason Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 What is the best way to add weights to pull ups to go real heavy. I was thinking about getting a 100 pound weight vest but then i thought what about when i want more than 100 extra. I remember seeing Johny Jackson using some thing that was attached to neck (if i remember corectly) that he had like 2 or 3 plates attached to. only help would be great.

willpeavy Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 but then i thought what about when i want more than 100 extra. What about one arm pullups Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eason Posted July 29, 2006 Author Share Posted July 29, 2006 i thought about that, but i allways feel off balanced when i do those. I would rather have real heavy two hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronco Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Well, if you have a weightwest, perhaps you can complement it with a chain around your waist that you attach some plates to, that should give you room for an extra 50kg at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathryn Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 I remember seeing Johny Jackson using some thing that was attached to neck (if i remember corectly) that he had like 2 or 3 plates attached to. I've usually seen this done using a belt (don't know if it's a special belt, or just a MacGuyvered weight belt) with a chain attached, to which you hook weight plates. A weighted vest would also work, especially if you have other uses for it (because they are pretty pricey just to do pull-ups). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odidnetne Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 I think BigBwii uses extra weights when he does pullups (and probably dips too). I think he has a belt that he can chain weight onto. Seems like the easiest way to go about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Yeah it's usually called a dip belt. But they are usually made of leather. I bought mine long before I became vegan and it's leather. I've done BW + 105 pounds for 3 reps. Right now, I'm doing a 3 rep set every minute for 30 minutes with 45 to 55 pounds. One arm chinups are just too hard still. It may be years before I complete one. Of course hardly anyone ever does one so that's OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbwii Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Man...I can't afford to throw money away on a dipping belt ... I just got a spare piece of chain that was in the backyard and cut it down to size...i put a snap lock at one end and threaded it through the weights and snapped the other end to the other end of the chain...works a treat and saved me $60....

joelbct Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Wait, so you do pullups with a metal chain around your waist? Sounds masochistic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
