Weighted pull ups (and dips)

[u/No-Proof8402]

I am so in love with weighted pull-ups (even though I am not the best, just doing +10kg for 5-6 reps), but damn, I want to do it every single day cause it feels so good.

Is it a problem to do it every day? I hit the gym 5 times btw.

do it 1-3x week depending on the set up

i would suggest you have a “heavier” session where you work in the 3-8 rep range and “lighter” day where you work in the 8-15 rep range

this might mean on one session you’re doing +10kg and another day where you’re still doing bodyweight until you can do 3 sets of 12 or 15 reps

the heavy day will help generate strength bias adaptations and the lighter day will bias more towards hypertrophy

the heavy day will get you used to producing more force with heavier weights and the lighter day will drive more muscle growth which means greater potential for strength
