Started implementing weighted pull up workouts into my regimen, here is an example of my avg. pull up workout, this was tonight:
Pull Ups
Warm up with some muscle up attempts, getting pretty damn close.
50x8, last rep debatable
45x4
35x4
25x3x3
Mixed grip Pull Ups (alternated grip each set)
3x3
Lat Pull down/ Machine Row super sets
Abs
As you can see I lose steam pretty quick with the pull ups
For those who are not familiar with the Waterbury method, you take 80% of your 1RM for an exercise and perform 10 sets of 3 with 60-90s between sets finishing the whole thing in less than 15 min.
Normally it is used for the big compound lifts. How do you guys think it would fair for weighted pull ups using pretty strict form and explosive pulling.
I would start my first week with 10x3 with 50lbs. and go up 2.5lbs each week (I have 1.25 lbs. plates).
Just been toying with the idea for a while and it seems like a good way to gauge my progress with pull ups with a more concrete goal, rather than just maxing out on my first set each workout.
