How many pullups can you do?

[biteme]

The most I've done is 20 in a row without pausing, strict. Not my best exercise, but not bad.

Again, very impressive. Even Arnold had to do several sets to reach 50 something.

 

[anabolicmd]

eleven, strict with overhand grip at Universal Studios stuntman tryouts.

This one is true, but I used straps and did not go all the way down on the reps.

 

[WODIN]

I just did 1. The molding on my doorway is now on the floor and in my hand.

 

[NoDaddyNo]

I could very easily do one.

Okay, maybe not so easily.

I wanted to try out for American Gladiators. I could do everything you had to do to qualify. I think it was 60 strict pushups in 1 minute, 18 pullups, 4.8 forty yard dash, and I can't remember the other feat. They designed it where there wouldn't be any really huge contestants because real heavy people can't do 18 pullups or very many pushups.

i'll fucking bring the pull up bar.... we'll go 1 thousand dollars a pull up. i'll destroy you

Yeah, Im usually in the high 2's low 3's. These tryouts were at Universal Studios for the Indiana Jones show, they were looking for those towelhead swordsmen that were supposed to be big. Oh yeah, the show was in Japan too.

Yeah, that's why none of the contestants were bigger than the Gladiators. Some of the good size strong and quick ones kicked their ass though.

True. Just big guys on steroids. The only one that could bench 500 was the shorter black guy. None of them were what I call exceptional athletles. Average at best.

 

[sk*]

Uhh, this is my weakpoint. My lats suck ass and after a few pullups my forearms get painful pumps.

If I am lucky, I can do 8 (palms facing away and wide grip). Can do around 15 if palms are facing me though.

I'm 6'3 240-245lbs now. Pull-ups have always been hard as fuck for me.

Tha'ts pretty good for your bodyweight. I'm pulling 197 so it's a bit easier. I do have a big ass back though and I want to show it but noone will help me post the picture.

[CollegeKid2]

this is what i did yesterday:

warm up: 10 pullups to the midsection
6 pullups with a 25er strapped on
6 pullups with a 45er strapped on, twice
5 pullups with a 25er
10 pullups with nothin to get that final burn

..and i thought i was weak.

 

[from zero]

I've done 26 in a row, but not full, strict ones.

Last time I did them for reps, I got 17 good ones.

 

[anabolicmd]

Damn, most of us are pretty much pussies. I thought there'd be more extremely fit people here.

It looks like your shoulders are twice as wide as your waist, that is rare even on very large guys.

Thanks man. It was frustrating because I knew it but couldn't prove it at the time with that b4 picture. I'm not done yet. I will be my biggest in my 40's if I can withstand injuries.

[revexrevex]

geez biteme... you can definetely see many years that were put into that back.

I do 10 chinups with 45 lb plate, and can do 1 chinup with 90 lbs, @ 215 lbs.... I really think its something genetic... many people have some unique bodyparts that are freaky in strength and size compared to the rest of the body

 

[sinjinsmythe33]

about ten now, after deads and barbell rows. younger days, about 17 to 20 fresh. biteme, you are looking large.

 

[revexrevex]

sinj is the fucking man.

 

[vansmack2000]

When i was pumped i could pull out 2-3 *1 *arm pull ups. ahh those days. I havent even tried that in 2 years.

row, row, row and that back will grow, grow, grow. Weighted chinups is a great exercise. Don't forget low pulley rows and pullovers.

Thanks man. I'm 5'9" and my bones are small. So at 197, I look about 225 I am told.

[out_at_sea]

The most I've done is 20 in a row without pausing, strict. Not my best exercise, but not bad.

Pull ups are one of my strongest suit.

I can do 25-30 with no weight and 10-15 with a 30 lb weight attached .

 

[sh4dowf4lcon]

I can do 20 pullups @ my current weight which is 250lbs.

I have done as many as 40 when I was at 220lbs about 2 years ago.

I prefer incline pushups and weights, but pullups work alot of muscles.

 

[supersizeme]

I do shit. I can pull off about 11 at bodyweight before my tampon comes shooting out.

 

[pitbullstl]

Before I tore my lat.......17 strict was the most I could do @ 270 , I haven't done them in about 4 months.......we'll see how far back this injury sent me.......

 

[anabolicmd]

Thats crazy bro, you look about Mike Alstott's size, hes about 240-250.

[Generic MALE]

2 months ago I was able to do 25 without weights, and 8 or so with 90 LBS harnessed on. I weigh about 205 right now. 2 months ago I weighed 210-215. THen doing weighted pull ups I pulled something - had a big bruise on the back of my arm, back. Still hurts like hell. Can't do pull ups hardly at all now - certainly can't drop down to full extension.

2 weeks ago pulled both hams doing straight leg deadlifts. Pulled some muscle in my side 2 weeks ago also while on the treadmill of all things. Yesterday pulled a pec doing weighted dips (again while carrying 90 LBS)

It seems like every week now I am pulling a muscle. I am probably going to have to completely lay off - but I dread that. At 41 I fear I will look like Woody Allen within hours of not lifting.

I would say around 10 to 15 good pull-ups. after that i get weak.

 

[meathead1216]

The most pull up ive ever done would probally be 19 in a row with good form.

Sux doesn't it. I've been battling injuries for years. I figure I would be benching around 500 if not for a fucked up shoulder and weak pec tendon. Hang in there.
