Beaufort Fitness: Weighted Clapping Pull Ups

“All right so I showed you the 40-lb pull up weight vest so this was a strength training exercise. I’m going to do more of a power exercise today… This is way more advanced and this is very hard you have to be able to do clap pull ups by yourself with bodyweight. So I’m going to show you progression now and I’m not even sure I can do this, I haven’t done this yet with the 40 lbs weight vest so I’m going to attempt this. It’s going to be a pull up with a clap in between and then grab on to the bar again. We’ll see how many I get I’ll probably be able to get like 2 or 3, but will give it a shot here.

So, I had to use my legs and swing and do what people might call kicking pull up on the last set. I actually don’t know with my form looks like so I’m going to look at it and see how I was doing it. Again, this is an exercise that you’d have to be able to do without the weight so weighted clapping pull ups like this.

All right. My arms burned out but… so you got to pull up, clap and then catch yourself that’s an explosive power movement. So that’s a very advanced pull up technique that you can use once you’ve maxed out doing pull ups with body weight. Adding more and more weight then once your body is ready for it you can do this power movements with the pull ups.”
