I haven't done a pull-up in a long time, but I used to be able to do a few at least and I don't think I've grown disproportionally fat since then

I usually do 5 for warm up and a set of 10, I have been working out for 3 years or so now, so this isn't really that impressive. Chin-ups and pull ups have always been my weakest.

I haven't done one in awhile. When I did do them, I could do at least 10, I was fat then. Now I weigh much less, so I would guess I can do more.

When I do them, I do them weighted. Pull ups aren't really very useful otherwise.

I have a metal spacer in my left arm, it just buckles under too much weight now lol. I used to be able to do around 10-15 or something when my arm was fine though.

I like doing pull ups, haven't done them in awhile so not sure how many I can do now. Definitely more than one.

They are if you're just beginning and weak.

I like to do them with my legs extended. Normally though I can crank out about 14. Being 6'5" makes pull ups a pain to get good at.

One handed, wide grip, whatever... If it involves lifting my body weight (pushups or pullups) then I will get bored before I get tired cuz I can do ALOT.

Me too! I can do a hundred pullups, just by hanging on my pinkeys!

But seriously, I can do 8 pullups before I can't get past halfway anymore. But I also weigh nearly 200 pounds (not fat :P).

'I only do them weighted. Useless otherwise...'

'Pfft, one-armed, wide-armed, with a tricerotops on my back...'

As I'm 5'11" and no longer muscle-bound. I reckon I could do about 10 at the moment. Even at my fittest, 15 was getting towards the upper-limit.

I can do 30. Pull ups are some of the best muscle growing exercises you can do so I try and do them every time I lift.

Agreed, but it does also work the shoulders and arms.

you guys are all making me depressed! I can do two, maybe three but the third I can barely get up. Just cant seem to lift my own body weight and it is bloody annoying! Hopefully the gym routine my personal trainer has given me will help...

I think the last time I tried I did 14. This was 5 years ago. I am also a skinny little shit so I guess that is somewhat of an accomplishment.

I'm 21, and I've really kind of gotten out of shape since high school, but when I was in shape I could bench around 220lb. Thats pretty decent, I was in great shape. HOWEVER... even at my fittest I could never do more than one chin up. I could do about 6 pull ups max back then, but maybe 2 chin ups if I was lucky. But yeah nowadays, being engaged and no longer really working out like I used to, probably not a single damned one. Used to weigh 185lb at my fittest, now I weigh around 210lb, so not fat really but a little chubbier than I would like.

@AlexW00d: I can definitely say that being very thin helps out, even if you aren't really strong. I used to partner with this one kid back in my lifting days, and he was pretty weak, could only bench around 110lb max, but he could do more pull ups and chin ups than me easily. I weighed about 185lb, and he weighed something like 130lb.

I can do 10+. I work out in sets, so I haven't tried maxing out in a long time.

Seems to me mostly gym rats have commented. In high school I could do sets of 10 picture perfect pullups, not those half assed partway down ones some people would do. And at that time that seemed to be well above the mean compared to other kids in my gym classes. But I stopped doing them after high school. Last time I tried to do any was a couple years ago and I could barely do 3, and that was when I was in pretty good shape from working at UPS loading boxes which I don't do anymore. It was very disheartening. I'm only 160lbs so if I had to guess I could probably still match that.

I read it as push up and fucked up the answer >.>.

I know I can do at least one, don't think I've ever done more than three without resting. It's been quite a while since I tried one though.

Speak for yourself, bro. I've got a 12 pack. That's what I go to bed with every night. Alpha status 366/24/7. MOTHERFUCKER.
