So I recently came across a podcasts from revive stronger where Dr. Mike was sharing Franco Columbo's view on weighted pull-ups link. So are weighted pull ups not worth it for hypertrophy if you can't do 12-15 reps of sternum to the bar pull ups.
Personally I think these are becoming more of an ego thing for me to strap on some weight for pull-ups when no one in the my gym is doing it. I recently added these as I was getting bored of doing pulldowns on both pull sessions of the week. A video of me doing them (weighing 72 kg in the morning and additional weight of 7.5kg). I add weight(2.5kg) once I get 10 chin above the bar.
What are your views and experiences with weighted pullups as a serious mass builder.
