How many pull ups can you do?

[dabottom305]

I think a lot of ya'll are confusing a pullup with a chinup. Pullups have a much wider grip and are MUCH harder. 

With that being said, I can do 15 to failure. 

I mostly do weighted pullups, I can do 5 reps with a 45 plate

Show off! j/k



I was referring to palms facing away.. not palms facing you.

 

[stunnafasho03]

I can do 1 and I am proud of it.

 

[bravo]

10-25 depending on how motivated i am

Man look at 1:24 - 2:18 ..... this 17 yr old chick puts me to shame.

dont stop it at 2:18, that muscle-up exercise :x :x :x

 

[ootherocoo]

Just did 20 over hand wide-grip.

 

[c hanna]

i can do 17 palms faced out. thats struggling with the last 3 or so
have a circuit that i do consits of 6 sets of 10 pullups different angles and 20 clap pushups or diamond. by round 3 im dead and cant do anymore clap pushups

 

[da shoefreak]

i can do 25 straight and none of the leg swinging crap either

 

[ignorantmartian]

i can do about 150  in 3 sets of 5 10 15 reps with different grips(wide , short  inside outside)

 

[r-man jam]

I just did 20 for the first time last week. Goal now is 30.

 

[jecca650]

Start back day with 3 sets of 10-15 wide grip chin ups pretty much as my warm ups.

around infinity

 

[jthagreat]

well, i can do 26 fake ones....
this was after about 2 months in hawaii (eatin bad, not doin much workin out) and yes, i didnt go all the way down, and i was drunk.

I imagine i can do about 15 REAL pullups.

 

[nanbeezy]

32 straight at my best two years ago. Now, 23 straight.

 

[antonlavey]

If I really tried I could prolly do 20 or so.

 

[longstroke]

25 reps, straight bar, overhand grip, behind the neck pull ups....6"4 two fiddy.

Regular underhand close grip chin ups, I can only get 20

Parallel grip pull ups, 26 straight.

Tried out for this cross fit joint, this is how I know, the guy told me that I should cheat chin, swinging my legs like they do in cross fit, but I was taught to do it strict style back in the day.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

cin HS i could knock out 50 without getting tired

:\

you don't lift do you?
i feel like you don't know what it means to be lifting more than your body weight.

I do lift and while I do not lift more than my body weight, majority of my peers do.

 

[AZwildcats]

Ive been lifting for a long time and I can still only do 11 pullups and 15 chinups.

 

[shoefreakbaby]

a month is 30 days....you think its unfair to stop working out for 30 days and not have the same strength? 

So why am I away from squats and abductors for 30 days and still lift the same

 

[jordan23dotcom]

45

 

[airblaster503]

The other day I got 11 after not doing anything but Insanity the last month. And that is wide grip, palms out, and arms going to full extension before going back up. Most people when I see them at the gym aren't going all the way down, to me that isn't a real pull up, I could get at least 20 of those.

If you're an athletic person (in the loosest meaning of the word), even if you don't lift regularly, if you can't 1 max-rep your own body weight, that's pretty surprising.

I bet you a dollar you can bench 165lbs one time.

People tend to underestimate their own strength when it comes to their max rep.

This. People never push themselves to see how far they can take it. They always stay around the same weight for all their exercises. Goes to show how important a log book is, it'll force you to improve each week with each exericse

haven't tried pull-ups (that's palms facing you right?) in a while. for one of these wide-gripped chin-up things at the gym, maybe 18 straight. i usually do 3 sets of 12.
