How many pull ups can everyone do???

[duritz]

Since it's a rarely done exercise in the gym anymore, i was curious how many people can do. I did 27 this past winter. I remember the record in my highschool being 24... too bad i can't go back and beat it. A lot of responses please

I'm such a lard butt, I probably could only do 12 or so..

I suck at pull ups how can I get better at them. It is the one exercise that I cannot seem to get stronger in. Any suggestions how i can increas the number of pull ups I can do.

I can do about 12 to 15 on my first set off pull ups. I do them wide grip and pull up to the front. I go pretty slow, I do not use my body to provide swing to help on the way up it is all done with the back and arms, no swinging or kipping up or any of that shit. I go all the way and and then all the way down and my arms are fully extended. Should I worry about not being able to do to many or is strict form doing about 10 reps for 4 sets okay.

At the annual area fair, they have a Marines station where you see how many you can do. The prizes are according to the number you do.

I did them a few years back when I weighed 165 lbs @ 5'-9" (small I know) and I managed to do 17.

Not sure how many I could do now. I've added 20 lbs, but am also stronger.

I do sets of 8 with 50 lbs strapped on for back day. I've been stuck at this for 4 years. My body weight keeps going up, so never have been able to use more than two 25's on the chain belt. I also bent over row sets of 8 with 325. My back is strong but not that big.

the hell i cant. i did it at a non sanctioned event two years ago. since it was non sanctioned nobody really knows. i did 128 at a sanctioned event. look it up if you dont believe me.

 

[spongebob]

really, i could probably do about 15 maybe. i used to be good when i did them regularly. i tell you what, lets have a contest. everybody take two months to train on them and lets see who can do the most then.
