Beaufort Fitness: Weighted Clapping Pull Ups
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.”

“All right. So here I am about to do pull ups. This is an advanced pull up exercise. I’m wearing a 40-lb weight vest; so this is true strength. I don’t know how many reps I’m going to do. This is going to be my first set I’ll probably going to shoot for 10 reps. Let’s see – the first set should be okay. So I’m doing wide grip pull ups and if you can do 20 solid pull ups with just your body weight then this is something you can definitely progress to. You may want to start with a lighter weight vest than this since 40lbs this is a big jump with weight.

So, because of the way I’m training I’m going to rest about 2 – 2 1/2 minutes and then repeat that; most likely I won’t be able to get 10 reps but that’s how I’m going to build my strength and this is a pull up strength training exercise. Again, if you can do 20 pull ups by yourself then you can start adding about 10-15lbs on your pull up and you could stretch it by saying you could do clean 15 reps of pull ups you may be start adding on a little weight but that’s what I recommend and then you can progress to something like a 40lbs weight vest in time each week by adding weight.
Again, this is Ian Hart so this is the weighted pull up. Today I’m going to do 4 sets of the weighted pull ups.”
