Comment on When To Start Weighted Pullups by Chris

Steven, Congrats on all your success. I was hoping to get your advice on how I should progress with weighted pullups. I am trying to get my first muscle up, and now have a 60lb weight vest. I can do 20 BW pullups and 15 wide grip, and 10 with 20 lbs. I have increased adding weight to 40lbs doing 10 sets of 3 with 3 min rest. My question is should I be throwing in some 1 rep sets with more weight , or progress until I can get 5 reps for example. Not sure when to add more weight, how many reps before doing so etc.
Thanks in advance for any input.

You said “ruck sack”. I do believe that is correlated with the military. I am currently training for AFSOC CCT (Combat Control) and i do around 100 pull-ups on a back day. Starting with body weight i do as many as i can (consisting of 15-20 depending on the week) and then i do 4 sets of 8-10 weighted pull-ups. And what gains do you get if you don’t fail! So i always go till failure. Pull-ups are amazing for gaining mass on back, shoulders, and arms. As according to your question. If you want the best results for max reps (w/ bodyweight), wait at least 5-7 days. And as far as working out afterwards, I always give myself at least a 3 day rest in-between certain days (chest, back, legs, etc). Rest and DIET will make the most difference (because that is the time your muscles grow!). Good luck if you are training for military, hope this helps and God bless.
