how many pull ups can you do?

 

[Filthy Fernadez 2,696]

11-15 keep your ankles crossed and it seems easier.

[Brad GLuckman 518]

It's the geek club. You really only need the 20+ option

[BunnysBastatrds 1,911]

When I was a kid in the the early 80's they had a presidential patch patch they gave to kids who could run fast, so long distance running, chalk board back and forth. And a few other bullshit excercies. The one thing Icould never do was pull ups. Never got my presidential patch.

[Hardcore troubadour 12,593]

I can do 6 12 oz curls. When I was younger it was a lot more.

Same here. I recall it had something to do with Boy Scouts. Couldnt do a single one.

 

Ive never successfully done a single pull up in my life.

 

A trainer I had once said that 37 arms dont help. I said neither does a fat ass. He laughed and agreed, but said guys with long arms always struggle with bench and pull-ups.

[Bier Meister 1,512]

in high school- about 20.

in college- about 10-15

Could only do 9 in high school. Like I said during Indoc I did countless pull ups, push-ups, sit-ups, and flutter kickers every day. So I got up pretty high in pull-ups. Now, Im back down to 8-9. Only 4-5 with a 25 pound weight added

[Bier Meister 1,512]

i was on my hs crew team. won a state championship....

 

pull ups, push ups, sit ups, wall sits, ergometer, running, lots of running

Makes sense. Didnt really do pull-ups for baseball/football. A lot of leg and shoulder workouts.

The training diaper?

 

I'm good for only like two a day. Unless I eat guacamole.

...... depends.

[RaiderHaters Revenge 3,566]

I just did 3 after this poll, it was tough, I am not going to lie, I probably was in the 10-12 range in HS but I was fit 150 under 5% body fat.

 

Now at 42 and pushing 240, with two shoulder surgeries I was surprised I could even do 1

 

probably the first pullups I have done in 20 years

 

also just for clarification is one of those pull up things that attaches to the door cheating? I honestly don't know, it was hard as f either way

that thing

[penultimatestraw 473]

At least 15. Probably 20+, though I havent done them in a while.

[dain11279 927]

Quite a few to the drive-thru

[Mungwater 588]

Are we talking real pull ups or ones with that allows kiping?

[edjr 5,547]

Minus 0

[vuduchile 1,940]

Struggled to do 4 just now.

[frank 2,144]

Where the hell are you guys doing these pull-ups? I can't think of anywhere I could go to do one.

 

Are you going to playgrounds and using the monkey bars? Also, do they still call them monkey bars?

 

Also, I believe pull-ups are done with hands facing away from you. Hands toward you are chin-ups, right?

[IMMensaMind 459]

I have a pull-up bar in my workout room. By far the toughest exercise I do, and I hate them. I have an elastic strap attachment to ease the strain of them, but the 6'-4" long arms curse makes those tough as hell.

[jerryskids 5,172]

Yeah, I'm in the 4-6 range strict, 7-10 if I kip. But my shoulders and back aren't flexible so my kip sucks.

[TommyGavin 788]

Less then that guy did. And I can live to brag about it.

So to be considered really fit an adult should do around 13 to 17. You're going to tell me at 265 lb you knocked out close to 60. Ok.
