7.5kg - 2x2

Performing pullups with added weight, such as 7.5kg, can be especially challenging when your body isn't at its peak — like after a night of consuming alcohol. Alcohol can dehydrate you, reduce muscle recovery, and impair coordination, making it tougher to perform strength exercises like weighted pullups. From personal experience, hydration and proper warm-up routines become crucial in these situations. Starting with lighter sets or assisted versions can help maintain form and reduce injury risk. Incorporating weighted pullups consistently improves upper body strength by targeting muscles in the back, shoulders, and arms. Using a 7.5kg weight strikes a balance between adding resistance and maintaining control, particularly for intermediate trainees. It's important to listen to your body's signals, especially after a night out, and avoid overexertion. I’ve found that integrating recovery strategies such as stretching, adequate sleep, and nutrition accelerates the ability to bounce back and maintain progress. Despite setbacks, committing to your routine leads to improved endurance and strength over time. Adapting your workouts on tougher days ensures long-term success without sacrificing physical health.
