How many pull ups can you do?

[XShreddedX]

wide grip, strict(for me strict means 2-3 second negative), dead-hang=12
not so strict medium grip=~18

[SSJ4Trunks]

20+

[Dingblok]

32 full ROM wide grip chin over bar

Dumb question, but what does ROM mean?

Range of motion

i dont like pullups. i do chins...............

How many?

[Dingblok]

I can get 17 with strict form from.

Thats too much. So instead I've been trying to get as many as I can pulling the bar under my top abdominal. I don't know what you would call that muscle. So far I can get 2.

Got to try that.

Fact: Everyone answering 20+ does basically kipping pullups where they don't go all the way down and start from a dead hang each rep.

26 lock out and chin above the bar with very little swing

[Exiled93]

I do pullups nearly every day at the gym. Yesterday done 80, 8 sets of 10, not at once of course. Plus 5 reps with a 45lb plate. If I'm not sore and it's my first excercise I can do about 25 or more, and yes I use strict form and go all the way down.

kipping pullups are cheap

I pull it to mid-pec, and I'm fine with that. Why not just weight it if you think you can do too many?

I answered 32 and I never do kipping pull-ups. lol. I do strict dead hang pull-ups and always bring my chin over the bar (or it doesn't count imo).

21 underhand 18 overhand.

[TimHarrison]

I bet half the guys in this thread are cheating, they're probably doing chin ups or if they are doing overhand they're doing it close grip.

[domenic1995]

How many?

at 148 with full rom: only 14

[Browning4]

I can 8 wide grip pullups. Going all the way down until my shoulders rotate and up until my chin is over the bar.

[racketteer]

20-30 medium grip depending on how much I eat that day. for the wide grip nazis, maybe 15 or so?

ever think they might just be stronger than you?

[TimHarrison]

How are we nazis for knowing what a true pullup is? That would be like racking 700 pounds, squatting it but going 4 inches down and when somebody points out you're not doing the exercise correctly you throw your toys out of the pram and call people nazis.

[RainingBlood]

I can only do 1.

comparing a half squat to a pullup with much longer ROM isnt a fair comparison. also t'was a joke. calm your sh*t

[ptwa9]

Do you even watch people doing pullups at the gym? 95% of the time they're some half ROM kipping BS.

Going that much higher also helps me train for rock climbing and helps me work my way to a static muscle up that I've been working at for a while on and off.

[TensionX1]

The last time I tested myself in how much I could do was 1 month or 2 ago. It was at 17. I'm probably going to test myself again later this week. My goal is to hit 25 without kipping + strict form.

[Freak666]

pull ups is my most favorite exercise out of all ! can do wide pull ups 20+ easily


also dips is one of my favorite exercises

[MuayThaiMonkey]

every man should be able to do 10 pull ups, should be a standard of fitness every man should have.

[Riley2112]

12 with wide grip. About 25 with narrow grip

[JonD1]

I've done 32 pullups before - full ROM starting from a dead hang. I probably can't do that anymore though, since I weigh a bit more than I used to. I usually only do pullups when I'm pre-exhausted from a back or bicep workout - haven't done a max in a while. Nowadays I always do pull-ups to my chest, not my neck, and try to do weighted pullups.
