"Man-ups".

Weighted pull-ups. How do I make this official?

If you're doing pull-ups with weight, then you're probably not doing proper form. Try the correct form pulling yourself up in a straight line as if between two parallel walls... it uses your obliques and upper back rather than biceps and you should see your reps drop quite a bit.

LOL "Man ups." Adding weight to any already discovered exercise will just be named the same with the words "with weights" at the end of it.
