1MR Weighted Pull-Up

[AdelCa]

Hey guys,

Was wondering what's the real correlation between your own weight and the added weight ?

For example , I just tried for the first time 1RM Pull-up and those are the stats:

My weight: 157lbs
Added weight: ~140lbs
Total weight: ~297lbs

%Added weight: ~90%

How do I interpret the results correctly ?

I guess no one does 1MR Pull-Up

Work on a 1 arm pull up or chin up.

I have read that a good balance is to have your 1 rep bench max equal to a 3 rep max chin-up (bodyweight with extra plates). So if you bench 300, you want your 3 rep chin up to be your bodyweight and extra weight to be 300.

Try making sense and maybe you will get some responses

Ok, now do you want me to check your math or what is the question?

How does the math work behind weighted pull up ?

Is it lets say, is it possible to reach 210lbs added weight with my actual weight ? (Which would mean 133% added weight ?)
