Weighted pull ups: belt vs dumbbell squeezing

Anyone else feel like they can lift more by squeezing a dumbbell by their crotch rather than hanging plates off?

brb stronger lower body contractions, tighter overall
brb more concentrated mass and higher centre of gravity
brb no swinging weight
brb no time waste setting up chain
brb mogging everyone who uses the dumbbell by marking it with your dink




Is this cheating? srs

Belt. I'd rather whole ass the pullup than half ass holding a dumbbell.

I use a belt and weight plates or my vests. I don't have the weight dangling between my legs, I turn it so it rests on my thighs. Can also do weighted leg raises or L-sit holds that way.

Wtf at weighted leg raises,

Freak.

How’s that even work with plates, I’ve done some of the balls clamped between my feet and was fukking around with the weight so much I felt it hampered things.

Had bad muscle activation and contractions. Or felt that way.

I prefer the belt, but have gotten skin pinched while doing it before. That chit hurts.

The weight will rest on your lap, true moggers use a medicine ball between their feet though

Was trying to find ThenX vid of Chris Heria where I first saw it, but couldn't find it. Guy has like a 1000 vids. Pretty much like this, but higher. I also keep the plate that way for pull ups.

Have done both but prefer weight belt. It does help keep you tense to clutch a db but ultimately it's distracting as fuk. Weight vest is the goat although obviously it's limited in how much you can add.

not squeezing a 50 lb dumbbell between my thighs, or on my feet as most people do

belt is way more conducive for heavy loading
