How many can you do ?
 
I do pullups after deadlifts on back day. I run out of gas fast... I usually do 4 sets with 8, 6, 5 and 4. I go to a dead hang on each rep though (complete stretch).

Granted I'm pulling some extra weight around my middle (and no, I don't strap this weight on just for pullups either).
 
when i was a juinor i was doin 25-28 pullups, weighing 140, and i could do 11 with a 45 straped to my crotch.

not that i weigh 180, i can get about 15-17. or like 4x8
 
I don't think they're all that great at high reps, but for sets of 3-5 I like them.

Can probably do a solid 3 right now. I have no endurance with chins or dips. It's gotta be 5 or less reps per set. Could probably do BW+25 for 2-3.
 
Wide grip, palms away (of course)...I've done 15 at 280+

Can do about 15, however chins are done notoriously badly - how many times do you see people rocking, using momentum and not extending their arms on the negative.

I do them at the end of my back workout, but as singles.

I pull quickly, then do a super slow negative (about 10 seconds). Superset this with weighted plate crunches (as a V up) until you get 20
Ouch ,your arms kill for days.

-I call them "Hospitals" in my training diary.

Impressive !

Usually you're either good at bodyweight and suck with weights or the opposite
 
ive got about 16, with rest pauses but still hanging on the bar.

i dont use momentum, my legs are straight and together, toes pointed. i go all the way down, and blast it back up.

god i love chinups.
 
I can get about 12 solid reps @244 with a full stretch. I try to keep swinging to a minimum, but it just seems to happen; I don't plan or rely on it.

my journal would consist of me being frustrated with my GF and working so damn much that i havent been keeping it consistant the last 3 weeks.

i need to get back into the gym regularly. i dont see it happening this week though.
 
As of yesterday, I can finally do a full 1 by myself... :arty:

I know not a big deal for many of you, but it's accomplishment for me :)
 
Haven't done them in forever, gained a lot of weight since I used to do them. Im guessing somewhere around 18. When I weighed 50lbs less I could do at least 20.
 
About 15. Usually I do around 4X8 with a wide grip, keeping reps slow and squeaky clean. One thing I just realized was that by pulling my knees up toward me a bit, I avoid arching my back too much, which helps me with my lower back issues.
 
I had a school test in my weight lifting class last week and i pumped out 30 full pullups! I was surprised, and the closest number after me was 22.

I've got a method u could try that I found in Arnold's Encyclopedia. Pick a target # of reps...say 10 for u. Do as many sets as it takes to get those 10 chins...even if it's 10 sets of 1 rep each. Do this 2x a week and before u know it u'll be crankin em out. As u get better at it, increase ur # of target reps. I started on this method 2 months ago when I could only do 5 on the first set. Today it took me 4 sets to get 37 reps. (I'm 225) My buddy is tryin this method and he's noticing improvements in the third week too.

Anything you can do today that you couldn't do the day before is a HUGE accomplishment. Congrats!
I can do about 5 with body weight in good form.
How do you train to do more chin ups? I mean I know you obviously have to do more chin ups but is there a method for training for this? For instance, what if, like Miss24k, you can only do 1, how do you train to increase that number? Do you train at it everyday? Certain number of sets? Etc. The reason I'm asking is my son (11) can do 1 with good form and I'm trying to help him increase that #. He does them pretty frequently but can't seem to get past 1.
Thanks.

Yeah, I tried that the other day. I tried going for 50. :D

I did 20 at first, then 15, then 12, and then 3. lol. I felt friggin awesome after it though, and im still a little sore! I definately loved it.
 
I honestly don't even know how much chin ups I can do with just bodyweight...but I can kill about 6 reps with 100# on a weight belt....I can also do 2 one-hand chin-ups.....all these with my chin above the bar

I jus did 23 chinups lastnight in the gym, I usually start out with pullups or chinups everytime I go to the gym, jus one set of as many as I can.. It really helps out for anyone looking to add something new to your workout.. I also hit up one set of chest every workout.. Notice alot of gains off both excercises.. Can also do 20 Wide-grip pullups.. I love back day!! Killer..

When I was on cycle I could do 20 with a 45lb plate strapped to me.

With the plate I'd do one set of 20 then rest, one set of 15, rest, and then grip really wide and shoot for 20 with no weight.
 
I can do about 7 perfect chinups now at 228lbs bodyweight. They are improving.

Back when I was 155lbs I could do 12 perfect wide-grip behind the neck chins untrained whenever I felt like it. The heavier you get the harder they get.
 
hmm, interesting question. i've never tried

i always start it with 8 reps with bodyweight which i can use easilly then i proceed to weight on the belt

40 lbs on the belt, the most i can do is 8 reps. But i don't know the most i can do with my own bodyweight

I'm off cycle now and I did 3 sets of 10 with +45lbs, I weighed in at 224 today so that's nearly 270lb chinup x 30!

Seeing as this is about BODYWEIGHT chins, I believe that if I was going for high reps and I had a few weeks to get into the higher reps then I would be off of the scale: 30+ maybe.
 
P.S. the word record is 170 chins without wrist wraps.

Set by oriental American, not a professional athlete.
 
i wonder how much he weighed.. 130lbs..
and the rules.. what was considered a full pull up..
 
now, this is all the way down and all the way up right? full movement? I can do about 15..maybe 18 with own bodyweight..

about the 5x5 program..what sorta pullup are recomended? reverse grip? I have never done weighted pullups, but I guess i gotta do them now.

Thanks.
 
did them, and i used 25 for the first two sets, then 30 for the second, then 35 for the last..I did closer grip and went full motion..I love the weighted pullups, never again will I want to do 15-18...
