Like any other free weight movement, to maximise muscle gains employing the Pull Up, it is best to focus on the muscle, as opposed to the the amount of weight implemented. This is basically the underlying difference, in terms of end results, between athletes that compete in explosive power sports, such as Strongman Competition and Weightlifting, such as Stefán Sölvi Pétursson and Warrick Brant, and top rated Pro Body builders including James Flex Lewis, Johnnie Jackson and Marcos Chacon. The strongman's predominant mission is to develop strength and power. The bodybuilders objective is to increase muscle size. Really concentrate on initiating the exercise using your Lats, Rhomboids and Rear Delts, in order that you force them to do the work. Raise the weight and lower using a slower four count. You could possibly experience lactic acid build up. This is a good thing and research has shown that it can boost your output of Human Growth Hormone. To get the most out of any compound activity like the Pull Up, work against the resistance in a way that causes your Lats and Rhomboids to do the work. Not momentum, gravity, or any other muscles.
