Weighted Pull-Ups
It’d be great it if the common gym question of “How much can you bench?” were replaced by “How many pull-ups can you do?”
Most guys cheat the pull-up by failing to fully extend their arms at the bottom or get their chin completely above the bar at the top, and this creates problems.
If you can finish 10 real manly pull ups, try adding some weight. You can hold a dumbbell between your ankles, sport a weight belt and hang some plates, wear a weighted vest or back back, or put your wife or girlfriend on your back if you’re up to it (and if they’re willing, of course).
The added weight on the pull-up will help add width to your back and give you that tapered V-shaped look.
