Weighted Pull-Up
Also called: loaded pull-up, belt pull-up
No demo clip here — the movement is coached inside the session itself. Every workout in the library is a follow-along.
Coaching cues
- squeeze the dumbbell between your feet or use a belt
- own the dead hang before you pull
- drive the elbows to your ribs
- no swinging — the weight punishes momentum
Common mistakes
- adding load before strict bodyweight reps are clean
- shortening the range as the weight goes up
- letting the added weight swing you like a pendulum
Take care with: shoulder, elbow. Members who list these injuries never see this exercise in a program.
