How Many CHINS Can You Do?

Just wondering how I compare..

 

[MonStar1023]

I know this has to do with your BODYWEIGHT but the more you weigh, the stronger you should be. By the way I weigh around 225 and can do a measely 10 chins.

 

[Belial]

3.5



With 100 lbs on the belt.

Raw? no clue.

 

[cman]

20 was my best. That was after about a month of trying to see how many I could do. Started at 13, so I upped it 7 in one month.

 

[Bigsatan13]

A set of 10, then like 7 and 5

 

[the People's Champ]

13 reps shoulder width at 178lbs here. I can only do 3-5 wide grip chins though...

 

[Benzi]

145lbs, 30+

[ballast]

[gun]

40 in HS

Hi all,
New to the board. This place is great.
Back in HS wrestling i did 40 chins on anavar. I was only about 130 though, now maybe 20.

 

[Sebass67]

I am embarassed..all of like 2-3
fuck i am almost 250pds now...
It's a big load.

 

[Thaibox]

I think 15, at 245

 

[MrMuscle]

12..if im lucky

 

[Hangfire]

Chins or pullups? There is a difference.

 

[gun]

chins or pullups

Palms facing away, shoulder width, we called them both chins or pullups, which is it?

 

[MonStar1023]

bump

 

[cardiosux!]

chins...

I really suck at these. I can usually only do about 6 or 8, then my next 2 sets I drop dramtically. I really don't have much of an excuse either, I only weigh 108lbs. ( i am a obviosly a chick).

 

[BronzedGoddess]

Well I saw this thread yesterday so I tried it out today at the gym........ I can only do 6 @ 134lbs. Damn I'm a weak chick. But I never do them (is that a good excuse?) I'm going to add them to my workouts. My goal is 20 now!

 

[KRS]

I do 2 sets of 10 unassisted chin ups, then 2 sets of 8-10 pull ups...I am a 107lb woman. So I guess that's not so impressive...

 

[toughdawg]

175 lbs
20 shoulder with apart
10-12 widegrip

 

[~~~]

1 if i'm lucky

 

[Longhorn85]

At 6', 200lbs

On back day I will usually do wide-grip chins palms facing forward.
3 sets: 8/6/6

 

[Imnotdutch]

Last time I checked, which was about 18 months ago, I did 8 reps with 90lb on the belt.

 

[Elite_Fry]

today i tried em for the first time... and i could 0
i could not even pull myself up
what does this mean?

 

[CollegeFratGuy]

225 and i can do 20!

 

[FitnessFrk]

ha..ha..pull-ups ! I suck at them..maybe one set of 12 then, 8 and 5 reps respectively right now I'm hovering at 240 @ 6'0

 

[Hangfire]

Unless I'm mistaken, chins are done with the palms facing you. Pullups are palms facing away.

 

[Longhorn85]

Semantics

Regardless of what you call them, they are a good exercise. This morning I did them after a good chest and bicep workout. I could only squeeze out 6/5/6 of the wide-grip variety, but it felt great.

 

[Belial]

Rat bastard.

I doubt I could do 6....

 

[Imnotdutch]

If you had a pair of chicken legs like mine you could do 8 too

Rat bastard.

I doubt I could do 6....

 

[DIESEL_5]

palms facing away....wider-than-shoulder width grip -

first set - 12
second set ~ 8
third set ~ 7-8
fourth set~5-6

5'10" 179lbs

 

[TheGame2001]

....

contest shape, 25-30
bulking 15 but next set 12, then 10, then 8

 

[Balls of Steel]

When I workout, I do mine after bentover rows. So I cant do that many. I have never tried to see how many I can do just for fun.

 

[Mighty Mouse 21]

11 wide at 180

I do upper body in this order: chest, biceps, back. Then on another day I do Shoulders and Tris. Is this fucked up? Help a brotha out now, I'm not too proud to take advice.

well...i started out with this...(do ya only want upper body?)
day 1: chest/tris
day 2: rest
day 3: back/bis
day 4: rest
day 5: legs/shoulders
day 6: rest
lather, rinse, repeat
this worked quite well but I changed it up recently cuz it didn't work for me anymore. but when i first started this routine it worked great,so..........give it a shot.

 

[Longhorn85]

That sounds like an okay routine, but when I do legs, that's all I do. I might try doing the chest/tri and back/bi combo though. I'll prolly throw shoulders in w/chest/tri.

 

[HighIntensity]

FHG

 

[littleflex]

[macho21]

I used to be able to do 32, but now I can only go by sets of 12.

 

[Mike P.T.]

[Suzie]

pullups are my favorite!
Now I can do 3 sets 16/14/12, I`m so proud of my self

 

[Welsh power house]

15-20 has been my best, now prob 12-15

[HighIntensity]

Holy shit fellow PTrainer...thats a ton a weight...how do you get it all on the chain...im jokeing

[BenBen]

[GreekGodGenetics]

Pull up and Chins

I love Back day, its my favorite. So of course pull ups is my bread and butta. I can do about 18-20 wide pull-ups with the hold of 1001 and 1 at the top and a slight pause at the bottom of 1 and up again. (168-170lbs)

After that first set it hurts like hell and the reps start really dropping off. But I do forced ones as well and that will widen the back.

Chins....well....I would think that they are easier than pull-ups....so I am banking that I could alot more. But the truth is that I don't even do them at all...if they are worth it I will start..., all I need is the usual sign of all those in favor.

 

[Lumberg]

Probably about 17 or so

I don't ever "max out" on pull ups but I have done 3 sets of 15 with good 3 minute rests in between at 154.

Not that great but hey different people have different muscle mechanics so it don't mean nothin'

 

[TerraNoble]

Pull ups are my thing...

I can do 20-25 wide grip , but right now I am using a back pack with 30-40 lb. I can do 8-10 reps..

Great exercise...Overhand grip or underhand grip they are a must..Underhand grip also emphasize your biceps..

 

[Jenny_rock]

I can do 9 pull usp on my first set
