    Question How many pull ups can you do?

    I did my first pull up test (palms out) today and did 18 pull ups in a minute, 15 in a row though.

    I also found this article on livestrong.com talking about the average pull up.

    Pull-ups are an exercise traditionally used to measure upper body strength and endurance. The pull-up is performed by gripping an elevated straight-bar with an overhand grip and pulling up so that your chin is at bar level. The average number of pull-ups a man can do typically depends on his current age. Pull-ups strengthen and improve the physique of your back, biceps and forearms when used for exercise.
    CHILDREN
    The President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports states that the 50th percentile for pull-ups for males ages 6 to 12 are 1 to 2 full repetitions. Specifically, boys ages 6 to 9 are expected to perform 1 pull-up for the 50th percentile while boys ages 10 to 12 are expected to perform 2 pull-ups.

    TEENAGERS
    The President's Council raises the number of pull-ups required to meet the 50th percentile for teenagers by several repetitions. Thirteen-year-old males are expected to perform three pull-ups. Fourteen-year-olds are expected to perform 2 more reps for a total of 5 reps for meeting the 50th percentile. Fifteen-year-olds are expected to complete 6 reps; while 16-years-olds should do 7 reps, and 18-year-olds do 8 reps.
    ADULTS
    Males over the age of 18 are expected to perform 8 repetitions of pull-ups to be classified as in "borderline shape" according to the President's Council. The average number of pull-ups a male can do begins to decline around the 31 to 50 age bracket, and is normally associated with a decline in physical activity and an increase in weight.
    MILITARY
    Military pull-up averages and standards depend on branch of service and level of fitness required for the specific assigned duty. Enlistees into the United States Marine Corp must be able to perform at least 3 pull-ups; however, a score of 50 percent is met with a total of 10 pull-ups completed.

    I can do 11-12, I did 5 sets of 5 today with 10 lbs. added, I'm pretty pleased. I did 5 sets of 7 the pull-up session before that. I couldn't do two at the start of this school year.

    did 16 STRICT as fuark pullups for a military fitness test. it was cadence. coach said when to go up AND down. and down mean all the way down, elbows straight.

    but if i went to tmisc's cheating rep standards, I'd easily be in the 20+ range (polled as 15-20 though)

    Just once in a while maybe 2-3times a month ill go and do one set all out.
    You can eat clean, train hard, take all the steroids you want but I guarantee you your results will always depend upon TIME. In this sport you have to be willing to put in TIME PERIOD.

    In my last fitness test I got 30 in 30 seconds, I wasn't counting, the supervisor was. Every pull up had to have arms past 90 degrees to be counted.

    I'm on a bulk now, so idk how many I can do
    60% of the time my posts are helpful, every time.

    I don't really know. I've tried doing pullups at a hotel's bathroom door and I got 3, and that's most probably because my knee have awesome climbing capability on the door.

    Ya there's definitely a correlation between size and amount of pull ups, most the big dudes on my team can only do like 5 -10 where as the smaller kids do 15-20, but the bigger guys are generally better in almost every other strength test.

    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.
