Weighted pull-ups progression...

Do you guys add 10 lbs each time after you completed the required amount of reps? Or do you guys just add 5??

It depends what works best for you. If you simply add on 50lbs and do 4 sets to failure, then turn around and do 55lbs for 4 sets the next lift or 50lbs for 5 sets, etc. If you want to gain muscle you have to add weight or reps to your workout constantly, then eventually deload.

You should really focus less on the weight and more on the feeling. If you aren't sore after doing weighted chin-ups you aren't doing enough either way.

source: I bulked last summer focusing on progressive supersets, for example: 115lbs on barbell shoulder press, switch to 75lbs on weighted chin-ups.

What is your current set/rep scheme?

What is your current set/rep scheme?

3 sets of 6-8

Depends what your routine is if you are decreaseing your reps add enough weight you can still hit those reps.

Sometimes the second set is easier

3 sets of 6-8

Then do this; belt-up enough weight so that you can just manage 6 reps on your first set, and use the same weight on the other two sets. When you can eventually get 8 reps across all three sets, add enough additional weight to bust you back down to 6 reps on that first set. Then work to progress the new weight back up to 3x8, at which time you'll add more weight, etc., etc., etc.

This is a simple 'reps-across' progression scheme. It's very effective, and it's also very easy to keep track of both in the gym and in your log book.

Why not just add 2.5 pounds each time like you would on SS if you were microloading?

If you want to go up in weight. You should do heavy singles and get our body used to the feeling make PR attempts.
