How many pull ups/chin ups can you do /fit/?
>>34966499
6 chinups after squats, ohp and rows
3 pull ups after squats, bench and deadlifts
>>34966499
5x5 chins with +7.5kg
Ive done 33 in a single set and 400 in 1h30
20kg added for 16
40kg added for 8
60kg added for 3
>>34966550
If this is true, I'm mirin' hard.
17 at last count. Working my way to 20.
Used to be able to do 12 chins with 20kg
After a 6 month break I'm struggling to do 10 with no added weight
The pain is real.
Guess it serves me right.
12 with no weight
5 with 15lbs added
1 with 50lbs added
>>34966566
I got really obsessed with em after my diddlylift went down from 260 to 220 due to a lumbar injury and my weekly back volume is nuts now
>>34966633
Why does chinups strength disappear so rapidly?
I can't do pullups even if my life depended on them. I think it's a mechanical issue in my scapula retraction. My right shoulder also fails earlier when doing OHP and bench.
Should I go see a phisio?
I'm at 3x6 currently. Was struggling with 3x3 not too long ago. I'm going for 3x12
5 chin ups with bodyweight.
But I'm a dyel fatty at 93kg so I guess it's ok.
4, trying to up that to something respectable.
>>34966499
>That bad form
I used to manage 20 chin ups and merely 12 pull ups. Atm I do five less each. I'm pretty bad at those, I know.
I did 3x5 with 6kg added last time. I do them at the end when I'm pretty tired though, not sure if I could do more otherwise. Did a set of 15 one time bodyweight
>>34966633
>>34966658
That's really not a huge deload when you think about it.
Assuming you're an average male weighing about 80kg, then your chinup basically went down from 100kg to 80kg, which is 20%, after 6 months of no lifting.
Did your other lifts not drop similarly?
>>34967062
I'm 68kg, but I get your point. And yeah, it's not like I'm back at square one (way way back I couldn't even do a single one).
I'm also improving/regaining strength rather quickly so I'll probably be back to full strength soon(ish). Maybe 2-3 months?
Who knows, just gotta keep going even though it's humiliating and demoralizing as fuck to not be able to lift the same as before.
>>34967083
Fuck it, it's unavoidable after such a long hiatus. Maybe try mixing longer bodyweight sets and shorter sets with added weight, like if you do chins twice a week perhaps one day you could do 3 x 10 bodyweight and on another day 3 x 5 with whatever weight you can lift.
4 chin ups with 20kg added at 70kg bodyweight
>>34967036
What do you mean? There's nothing wrong with his form unless I'm missing something.
>>34966550
How much do you weight? Miring. I can do 10x30kg with BW of 87kg, i think im doing well too.
bodyweight is 155. When I was 225, none. 185, 3. 175, 5.
I can do 12 pullups, no idea for chins. I do 3x6 weighted once a week, and do them after most training sessions. Weighted is done with 25 pounds at the moment.
I can do about 20 unweighted, possibly more if i'm going to burn out just one set
And i can rep 65lbs 5 times
165-170lbs body weight
>>34966499
15 pullups at 190lbs bw
Last workout
5 one armed with bicep assist
15 one armed with forearm assist
25 one armed with wrist assist
20 regular on slope grip
10 on crimp grip
Before I made this switch I did 7x5 with 42.5lbs added.
Is everyone on /fit/ athletic as fuck? Or are the fat GOMAD neckbeards lurking and not posting?
>>34967325
Being able to do pullups I don't think requires insane athletics.
Mind you I only do 12. To get good at them, I did them more. It's like any lift. Train it more if you want to get better at it. I care more about my posterior chain than anything else, so I do more pulls.
15 chin-ups at 6'5 215
>>34966499
What bar/machine does /fit/ use? I've been kinda exclusively using the wide grip bar in pic related.
Shit is pretty hard but then found that using a straight bar like OP I can do much more.
Continue doing machine or use straight like OP?
>>34967401
Never used the machine. I shamefully did my 3x1-3x2 sets and worked from there. I can do 3x6 now and I'm making progress every week
>>34967401
Yeah, wondering this too. Bar or machine?
I can do 1-3 (91kg/200lbs 1.87m/6ft1)
Wish a lost a few pounds/kgs but i'm always hungry so...
>>34967401
Same story here, I can always do more pull ups and chin ups with a straight bar.
>>34967401
i have been using the machine for several weeks now, I went from 3x2 to 3x5 and im only getting stronger. would recommend
>>34966499
I can usually do about 12 first set, and then i drop to 6 then 4 then 2-ish
First set just tears me apart completely. But i try to do them as slow and controlled as possible for maximum effect
im about 90kgs 185cm
>>34966499
17 bodyweight
8 with 10kg
5 with 15kg

>doing chinups instead of pullups
why
>>34968361
do both
>>34968361
It's a better bicep exercise
Today I did 10 10 5 with a few minutes in between
I like to mix up reps and sets though
>>34968372
This in addition to nice seratus and lat pump it gives.
I get enough upper back pump from ohp. I'll do a couple pull ups, but not as a main lift.

This is the only believable post quit lying faggots.
My record when I was pushing my chinups was 27 at 184lbs.
Right now I could probably do 20 strict if I was going balls to the wall, I can do probably about 5 with 80lbs additional.
Pullups, the other day I knocked out 18 on my first set without too much issue. Couple near the end werent full ROM.
Widegrip, probably 15.
>>34966499
why add weight, when you can go bearmode?
>tfw 110 kg and 21 pullups.
>>34966499
Around 20, can get around 1 pull up with 100 lbs added and maybe 12 muscle ups in a set. Rock climber at 160 OD'd lbs
12 chinups
10 pull ups
currently doing them weighted though, 13kg x 6 reps
>>34968450
wat
>>34966499
10 consecutive chinups, 7 consecutive pull ups. Pretty weaksauce but 8 months ago I could do 3 of each.
>>34968361
because it's mechanically a more efficient movement you can add more weight, thus achieving more gains.
>>34968450
includes
>>34967027
>>34966550
Nice... last time I tried I did 40 and just stopped, probably had another 1 or 2. Normally I just do 10 X 10, when the gym is not busy, I will use 65-70 lbs dumbbell and crank out 5 X 5....
>>34968450
You're probably just very out of shape, man. Before I ever started getting serious about lifting I just did 20-30 chin ups and 100 pushups a day to maintain myself.
13, but that was after several sets, so I could probably do fifteen if I really wanted it.
>>34968450

3x5 chinups with lots of rest, 2 reps with 10 kg added
Pullup PR is 4 but I'm not quite satisfied with the ROM
>>34969331
Work on fixing your ROM now then. It's easier to do at a lower number of reps.
>>34969349
ROM is not terrible, I'm just not hitting my sides with my elbows like I see the chi- I mean manlets do. I think most of my lat strength comes from chinups anyway so I'd rather build those
>>34966499
Someone could help me? I want to do more reps of pull-ups, in fact I want to do more reps of wide grip pull-ups of wich I can only do 10 consecutive reps, thanks.
I did 27 pull ups 2 years ago when I was super in shape. Now I'm getting back into it and I can barely do 12

uh....
k
>>34968534
>you can add more weight, thus achieving more gains.
nice broscience, but the only reason you can add more weight, is because there is less resistance on the muscles as they contract.
so you can add more weight until you reach the same level of resistance against muscular contraction that you would receive with less weight and a pull up
meaning the resistance against the muscles are the same, meaning the gains are the same.
chins are for your biceps
pull ups are for your forearms/grip strength.
this is the real difference, if you are doing weighted.
I do chins after my back exercises and before my biceps.
3xF Usually ends up being about 6-9 reps each set.
I start my pull day with 3x8 pulls, 3x8 neutrals, 3x8 chins
Could prolly do like 20 chins from fresh, maybe 12 pulls
ITT: Half-reppers.
>>34970680
>I can't do pullups well, and everybody else has to be worse than me, so they must cheat.
Just because you're a wimp doesn't mean we all are.
15 pullups at bodyweight.
On a slightly related note, are pullups a good exercise for lats, or should I do another exercise to target them?
>>34966550
Mirin. Highest I've ever gone is 40kg for 5.
Pull Ups
With just bodyweight I can probably get 15+
I usually only do 12 since they're just a warm up
I'm currently doing weighted pull Ups
25 lbs are about 5-6, 10-15 lbs stay in the 8-10 rep range.
The only chin ups I do are close-mid underhand.
I could literally do them into infinity
I only do them after Pull Ups, but I can do 6-7 reps with 35 lbs of weight. Could probably get 45 lbs if I started with them
>>34966499
how do you go so high on a pull up? should I be using weight assistance until I can go so high up?
>>34970090
>because there is less resistance on the muscles as they contract.
u wot m8
why do you think theres less resistance?
I can't do them for shit and there's no pullup machine at my gym
what lifts/exercises can I do to help?
3x10 Pullups + 3x8 Chin-Ups (+5kg) at 83kg Bodyweight.
It's insane, I started with 50kg Lat-Pulldowns two months ago and worked my way up there. Said "fuck it" after stalling at 70kg Lat-Pulldowns for weeks two weeks ago and just did Pullups instead.
>>34966499
11-12 chinups, 8 pull ups
>>34971018
Pullups hit upper back.
Chins hit lats better, honestly.
Do a couple of each and observe your lats through the movement.
>>34971226
Weird, I stall easily on lat pulldowns, but i haven't encountered stalls in pullups. Also prefer chinups/pullups so whatever
>>34966499
1 pullup
2 chinups
>>34971204
Pull up machine?
I just did lat pulldowns until I could do pull ups
>>34971238
False,
Pull Ups hit your trees major and minor as well as your lats
Chin ups do the same thing and depending on the chosen grip it incorporates more bicep than pull ups
>>34971247
But anon, that's what I just said

I agree with this guy. I have never seen anyone do a proper pull up outside of the military.
12kg added i can do 5. scoobs was right that the best way to do more was to not be fat. i could barely do 3 pullups bodyweight 5 months ago
>>34971362
Yea i know. That's why i said weird, because what the fuck is up with lat machines.
>>34971134
bumping this
>>34966499
I do a pyramid set from 10
So 10, 9, 8,... Start with wide pull-ups and switch to chins when I don't think I'll be able to finish the next set (at 7ish). Sometimes I'll switch to neutral grip instead if my wrist is acting up.
>>34971166
He means that switching from pull ups to an easier exercise (Chins) and adding weight because you're not strong enough to add weight to your pull-up doesn't make chins a more effective exercise. It just makes the chin up as effective as your pull-up.
>>34971347
what this man said is correct
wider grip = upper back (more teres than lats)
closer grip = lower back(more lats than teres)
>>34971166
>why do you think theres less resistance?
there obviously is less resistance. against the muscle contracting, which is why you are able to contract it
if you strap on a 45lb and can only do 3 pull ups, but you can do 6 chin ups, there is obviously less resistance against the muscles contracting when you do the chin up, because they weight is dispersed across more muscle groups, so each individual muscle contracting has less resistance.
>>34971166
Because chin-ups recrruit more muscles so they they don't have to work as hard
5 pullups at 20 kg, 5 chinups at 25 kg
8 in the first set, less in the subsequent sets, but I do them with perfect form (from a dead hang).
>>34966499
Chinups: 12
Pullups: 8
both from dead hang and pause each rep
>>34971477
Ah I now I see.
I think it's just a mental barrier, having to move that weight up and down
>>34971976
>both from dead hang and pause each rep
i do the same thing, but i have to ask this one question because reasons and autism:
do you keep your scapula retracted when you dead hang? or do you retract it at the beginning of every ROM?
Does anyone else get a hurt/numb wrist after doing multiple sets of chin-ups?
i switched to pull ups exclusively for this reason, but i miss the bicep targeting of the chin-ups.
is there a way to use supinated grip that doesn't fuck your wrist?
>>34973060
>is there a way to use supinated grip that doesn't fuck your wrist?
I've seen a system where it has a 45 degree offset option for where to grab for a chin up, rare tho.
>>34973060
It's hardest on my wrists at full extension.
I do mostly pull-ups and add lighter sets of chins when my pullups are exhausting. I use a neutral grip if chins are giving my wrists too much trouble.

8 pullups with proper form and full ROM, but im on a cut and im always lacking energy. hope to get better and start adding weight soon.
around 20-25

Broad chins are for the lats. Imagine that you are bending the bar instead of trying to pull yourself up and you will feel the burn even more.

>>34966499
I usually do 5 sets of 10 as the last workout of each workout day (SL 5x5).
I only rest 1.5 minutes between sets.
Lats have fucking exploded and I have a money v taper now.
I started switching it up so one day a week I will do chin ups or neutral grips instead of a straight pullup.
Going to have to buy a weight vest soon so I can up the resistance.
12 chin-ups with 45lbs around waist. I weigh 215.
>>34966499
7 strict pullup or 9 strict chinups
>>34981110
And I can do 25 pullups in a row
Are people giving numbers for how many they do in a set or how many they can do total? Shit's hard. I've had to work up to it with lat pulldowns then negatives. I'm up to 3x5.
28 pull ups thas it ;-; still trying to hit 30

>>34981509
Good to know. What would you recommend? Those weight boots?
>>34982267
Not this guy, but I'm using a weight vest. Not sure what he means. I also had a flack jacket in military which was 11kg.
around 8 chinups with BW
i don't know for pullups, but last time i tried i couldnt do a single one
If you're over 200 lbs of lean mass and can do 12+ real full ROM chins or pulls, this means youve made it
so i can do 3x6 chinups with 25kg added (guess thats about 55lbs), and afterwards i do about 3x8-10 pullups.
but my maximum number of chinups without weigh, is stuck around 12 since months. should i maybe add assisted chinups to my routine? if so, just do it after the weighted ones or skip the weighted ones?
also, im doing a full body routine 3x per week.
thanks brehs.

How many inverted shrugs can /b/ do?
>http://www.exrx.net/WeightExercises/TrapeziusUpper/BWInvertedShrugPB.html
>tfw used to be able to do quite a few of each when younger and now can barely do one chin up
I can't even do a single pull up from a dead hang but when my arms are slightly bent at the start I can do about 5. I just cant manage to bend my arms from a deadhang, what exercises could I do to help this. I've tried negatives but they don't help.
>>34983081
More pullups.
See if you gym has a sissy pullup machine, and try that.
>>34966499 i can do 20+ in a single set. I weigh 150 lbs, 5' 9". I can also do 7-8 muscle ups in a single set.
>>34982673
There is a version where a partner sits on you for extra resistance.
I can't do any. I'm a fat fucker. I've been trying to do those where you let yourself down from a box.
Weighted chin up is 1rm with 120 lbs. For normal training, 3x5 with 85 lbs. I only weigh 175 though.
i maxed 20 widegrips last earlier this month. ive been doing calisthenics for like 3 months ;D
2.5 pull-ups
I'm also like 250 lb
How can I improve my chin-ups?
>>34984434
Keep trying :) You'll never forget your first pull up

Spend a week at a planet fitness on the princess pullup machine where it halves your weight.
Do your pullups there, three times or so a day.
Maybe your gym has one, but most don't.

>>34966499
23 pull ups at 180lbs weight. Just 2 months ago I was able to do just 15, like any human bean, but then I started to do them in explosive manner with controlled descent and the number of reps increased for some reason. Now I'm doing weighted. I can do 10 with 45lbs plate. I'm just out (arguably) of dyel mode, so you can do that too, /fit/.
