Yes. Usually, the spine can handle the vertical force (think front squat) better than the horizontal force (think hip thrust). In weighted- pull up the gravity force pulls nearly vertical with the spine so I think it's safe. Also, the load is usually small (the heaviest pull up on the forum, based on the survey a few weeks ago is 80 kg; and many people squat like 150 kg above in the forum)Do you think that the dip belt weighted pull-up is safe for your spine?

I've found that while decompressing the spine by hanging does help, having a weight at the bottom of your spine as you hang helps even more. Using a dip belt is the classic way to perform weighted pullups and, as the name suggested, dips, too.Do you think that the dip belt weighted pull-up is safe for your spine?
Never thought of that added value.

The usual cautions apply - make sure you're clear to exercise without restrictions, have a movement screen, and add weight gradually to allow your body time to adapt.

For the bone and disk structures it's generally quite safe and it can even be therapeutic in some cases . The soft tissue needs a bit of time to adapt though. Someone with a lot of upper body strength could stretch some of those tissues in ways they aren't accustomed to if they rush into lifting heavier weights. It's caused a few issues for me after a long break from training when I jump in and lift more than I'm ready to.Do you think that the dip belt weighted pull-up is safe for your spine?
