How many pullups can you do?

[SVTmuscle]

I was inspired to make this thread to compare it to the results of this other forum I post on which is a car forum but yet 30+ members can allegedly do 10+ REAL pullups from a deadhang LMAO

[energizer bunny]

scratch that........presuming widegrip......most i can do is 4.

[aestheticmind]

true. grip would change things dramatically for me, but i guarantee i could do 10 in any grip. I could probably do 30 underhand-grip pull-ups.

[Dukkit]

of just bodyweight. id say 6-8 full on with good form and extension

[Ernst]

At least 10 good ones any grip.

[*RAGE*]

15 as of today and that at 245 right now...but on cycle off cycle around 10 to 12....

[stack_it]

I would say 12 - 15 I usually do my sets wide grip 12-10-8-8

[Pocketbattleship2B]

I can do 10 or 11 at a time but I only weigh 160lb so thats not much to boast about.

[Narkissos]

I'm not sure to be honest.

I do pull-ups in front and behind the neck at various parts of my work-out.

If done at the beginning of the workout as a warm-up, I do multiple sets of 10-15.

If done at the end of the workout as a finisher/volumizer, I do multiple sets of 6-8.

Haven't done one all-out set ever.

Wouldn't really serve a purpose IMO.

[Narkissos]

I'm bored... Imma go do a set and come back. lol

brb.

[Narkissos]

Aite, I got 22 before it started to burn.

I'm 205 lbs right now... 5'6"

[BG]

30 as warm up everyday.

Thats interesting, I cant do as many while on cycle, I get to much of a pump......

[ajweb]

BG is the man...i can get 20 good form first set but it drops quickly to 15 to 8 in following sets...230#

[Hazard]

I've definately done more than 10 before.... a few months ago my friend asked me to do as many as i can to compare with him..... He did 5 and i stopped at 15 LOL

6'1 225 (230 at time of doing pullups)

~Haz~

[Matt]

Shit, i just did one but snapped the curtain rail, she's going to kill me...

[BG]

^^^lmao

[Juturna]

A few over 25, then I feel like I'm straining so I stop.

[CBGB]

20+ But to be fair i'm only 177lbs, and they are part of my warm-up.

[Chitown Raider]

On a average around 10.

[Narkissos]

shit, i just did one but snapped the curtain rail, she's going to kill me...

lmao!

[sigman roid]

I do 4 sets of 15 to warm up on back day

[xavier_888888]

I do 3 sets of 15 wide grip warm up on my back day.

[stpete]

I just did 13 on saturday and that was after rows. I went to the rack to just stretch out and thought what the hell, let's see. Kinda suprised myself cause it had been so long since i last did pullups..

[southmadejd]

I used to do 20 back when I was in the Marine Corps because we have this thing that some members will already know of called the PFT(Physical Fitness Test) and doing 20 pullups gave you a perfect score of 100 in that category so I never did more. But when I was in boot camp a kid in my platoon said he could do over 40 pullups and everybody called b.s. on him. The little bastard shut us all up when he knocked out around 45.

[xlxBigSexyxlx]

30 as warm up everyday.

really? Do you do any extra on your back days or anything?
Just workout days? or do you also do them on off days?

[Hazard]

no..... he prepares for heavy leg days by doing 30 pullups.....

~Haz~

[quarry206]

21 is my max if i'm using good form and not swinging all to hell.

[Vitruvian-Man]

I start off every day with 35 pull-ups.

It's one of my favorite exercises. I generally break it into two sets of 17 or 18.

I like implementing a one second hang, once I'm fully extended, just to ensure good form / absolutely no swinging.

I've done 13 in a row, strapped down with a 45 plate.

[CHAP]

I start my back workout with 4 sets of 10 overhand wide. When I got back in the gym 4-6 months ago I couls only do 2 so Im pretty happy with my progress.

Right now Im 6'1 230

That was kinda the point I was getting at...doing them everyday.

LMAO yeah - i have no idea.....

~Haz~

[l2elapse]

around 15 with good form

[RuhlFreak55]

i'm sure i can do 10....but the question is wtf does svt consider a "real" pullup? I do them on back day usually and do 10 my first couple sets wide...but the tops of those reps may not be up to svt's liking

[DSM4Life]

Wide grips are tough , close grip easy. Plus 10 for both. I normally do 3 sets of both wide's and chins before back workout.

[JDawg1536]

Some years ago I think I got around 17 on third set with a 35lb weight. That was at about 155lbs. Now I'm 170lbs andI could probably do about 15 REAL pullups. Ill try tonight.

[BG]

Just workout days? or do you also do them on off days?

Everytime I walk in the gym. I grew up wrestling, we couldnt go in or out of the wrestling room with out doing 20.

beast

[xnotoriousx]

I do 3 sets 12-10-10 good form not all the way wide. I grip about half way when the bar starts to curve, i just feel those work better.

[jbm]

if I'm on diet i can do more.
