Poll: How many pullups can you do?

Just curious.

Also pullups only please, no chinups. For anyone who doesn't know pullups=palms facing away from you. chinups=palms facing you

My personal best is 8; however, on a bi-weekly basis, I'm doing between 5-7, so I went with 6.

I don't think I'm even close to being able to do 1.... i can't even pull myself 1/4 up.... heck not even 1/100th up

5 solid reps of wide grip pullups for the first set, after that, heh, it gets worse.

Here we get into relative strength vs absolute strength. My absolute strength is pretty good, my relative strength, eh, not so much. Those with good relative strength do very well with exercises such as this one. In other words I weigh to dang much.

My PB is 13 weighing 130-ish. I'm hoping to get 15 as I lean up this summer, but that was a failed goal last year and I sure as heck wasn't going to get close while I was bulking, so we'll see. LOL
