The weighted pull-up is one of street lifting’s flagship movements: it measures vertical pulling strength, with extra load hanging from a belt. Some of the discipline’s most spectacular performances happen on this movement.
Below are the world records and French weighted pull-up records, weight class by weight class, for both women and men, updated for 2026.

How to Break a Weighted Pull-Up Record?
Progressing at the weighted pull-up rests on three pillars: strict technique (full range of motion, chin over the bar, no kipping), a progressive load increase around heavy sets of 1 to 5 reps, and a solid core to transmit force without leaks. Grip work and consistency over several cycles do the rest.
To structure your progress, our weighted pull-up program details the programming, percentages and peak weeks. Also consider suitable loading gear (belt, vest) to add weight safely.
