The weighted pullup is an advanced variation of the standard pullup, where additional weight is used to increase resistance. This exercise primarily targets the latissimus dorsi (lats) and also engages the bicep and forearms. It requires significant upper body strength, coordination, and experience to perform safely and effectively.
