pullups, what do you weigh, how many can you do?

[BLACKnGOLD]

10 to 15 @ 235lbs

and that depends on whether I had a good dump that morning
that added weight makes the difference

It's pretty surprising to see so many bb's who don't do chins/pull ups/chin ups. It's one of the only back exercises where you are moving your entire body through a plane of space. Which means greater strength gains, especially when adding weight. I personally think if you are not lifting yourself for 15-20 (whichever grip you prefer, although overhand works more back), then you need to start hitting the pull up bar.

The Marine Corps physical fitness test requires 20 with good form for a perfect score, smart because with this you must take your body weight into account and work the assisting muscle groups enough to correspond with your back.

My personal records are 26 with a vest/boots/utilities underhand, 25 with only body weight extra wide grip, and 37 body weight underhand.

[Bezoar]

I can put up at least 30....but i'm only 185 and i'm a rock climber

[Negatron617]

Such insecurities..it is so sad

What have you been smoking?

FYI, anyone able to do 100 reps with good form (ie. no leg kicking and swinging) in one set is almost UNHEARD of.
No wonder people reacted to your first message like they did.

Hey Euphoria, you know what? I can bench 515 for 15 reps.
"Let's see a vid of that"..
- Ohhh you're insecure huh!

[MassIsAhead]

Anyways, I did 10 reps at 220 lbs, and have done 220 + 90 lbs for 4 reps. I always die after 8-10 reps, no matter what.

[tippytoes]

13 and I weight 167ish

[Lector606]

I'm not too great at them, but I can do about fifteen full range pullups with a slight pause at the top and the bottom. I think a lot of people do them improperly just to get a higher number.

[Hooley]

i know a guy who could do 100 at his peak and he weighed about 180. he also had trials for GB 100 mtrs squad!

ive maxed on 35, but i do have a bar in my room and have had for about 17 years

[JRT6]

I weigh 250 or so. I can do about 20. I can do 10 with an extra 50-70lbs.

[OneO]

220 , can do 8-10 while supersetting with lat pulldowns... form gets pretty shakey at the end

videos?


if you weigh 250 and you can do 70 more lbs 10 times you should be able to beat the world record of 380 lbs total weighted pulled full ROM of course

[pinned31]

I'm 5'7 at 142 (that's 7 pounds up from 2 months ago) I can do about 39-41 full range, and with an additional 85 pound vest I can do 6

[ExtremistPullup]

I can touch the bar with my chin at 195 + 200 lbs with a kipp

can't hold it over the bar just yet

Dude, I've been working out for 20 years. I have nothing, and never will have anything, to prove to you.

I don't know about any world records, nor do I care but Ed Coan does his chins with 200lbs hanging off of him. Go call him a liar too.

[ryuten]

i can do 214 (BW) + 22.5 lb for 3. although i think i could've done more than that, but i stop at 3 cuz of my program.

[Dave P]

At 170 I can do 8 or 9.

Considering at age 22 I had never been able to do a pullup and now a year later I can do that Im pretty happy

here is my source that 380 is a world record, I think REPS magazine called him a liar if he weighs more then 180 and does 200

[Lil Freek]

well i have found a new goal.
once i get past 10 reps.. i'll just add on 165lbs and give 'er a rip

[hotterdog]

if i'm doing a weight assisted chin up, how much weight should i deduct from e machine? (those weight assisted chin ups), cause i'm trying to slow down e speed at which i lower myself but i won't be able to control with gravity pulling down. eg. if i'm 200 ibs, how much weight should i put for weight assist?

sorry for the super slow response

It took me about three months to get up to 7. I'm hoping to get up to 10 by July....but time will tell.

[M4A1 Widowmaker]

5'11" 175 lbs

Maxed at 18 wide-grip 2 months ago...could probably get 20 or 21 now

Just keep doing them often and you'll improve. If you want to make them your goal there's this pull ups program going around that has you do different pull up variations every day or so, do some searching it's been posted plenty of times.

is doin chin ups and pull ups alternatively gonna help my pull-ups. i need to improve my endurance on pull-ups in like 2 weeks time, from 5 reps to 8 reps. izt achievable?

Once again who cares about a world record pullup. It may mean something to you but not to me, it's just an exercise.

I was gonna ignore this but I'm getting annoyed; however I will still show restraint in my repy. Just because I can do 10 pullups at my BW with 50lb-70lbs hanging off me dosen't mean I can get anywhere near the one rep max you calculated. I don't train for a max as it would be silly and accomplish nothing other than exposing me to some serious injury.

People don't have to video tape themselves and place it the internet just because someone else gets insecure and feels threatened by it. If you don't believe me then don't. But show some repect and humility, I can go around on this forum and call you out over silly **** too.

[bigtiny31]

I can do eight pullups now, but could only do a few when I started doing them a few months ago.. I do them on my deck using some exposed 2x6's which kinda hurts my hands! I noticed that when I did them at the gym on pullup grips they were way easier, but I think doing them this way will help my hands get stronger too...

[Gaffigan]

I've done 40, no lie --- the first 30 were good, and the last 10 were questionable, but decent. This was when I was weighing around 150 a couple months ago (@ 4.5% BF). Now, at 165 (feeling a LOT better) I can only get about 25 to 30 --- with the first 20 being good ones. Chins are great, but I don't absolutely love them.

[tothemaxwell]

i got 15 on the widegrip and i weigh 218. when i was at 180 3 years ago i did 18 easily. i would be interested in finding out how many chinups some of you guys can do.

[darkwwolf]

I tried for the first time in years and I got 3 @ 210...

[jmannb9]

I'm 235 and just got my PR of 11 a few weeks ago. I haven't been able to add any since then though.

[EoR]

I've done 26 @ 224lb. I was wearing clothes, maybe I should try pull-ups in the nude.
