How many clean pull ups can you do /fit/? Why can you only do 2 or 3?
>>36482831
Because I'm 24% bf
>>36482831
You know what, just because you told me im gonna go ahead and do some pullups.
Hold up i'll post how many i could do
>>36482831
Stopped doing pullups after I could do sets of 12 tBh
>>36482884
I did 8, I think I could do more but yesterday I did some ab work and they hurt
>>36482856
this to be honest
But i do 7 or 8 with absolutely perfect form.
Because I'm still fat.
Maybe I'm six months I'll be able to do some.
>>36482831
>Why can you only do 2 or 3?
because i did 4x 6 today ... with additional 15kg attached to my 93kg bodyweight.
i can do a 1 handed chin up does that count for anything
I can do 2-3 from a dead hang
if I keep the movement going, I can do 8 with okay form
>>36482951
actually i just checked and i can do a 1 handed pull up too so fuck u op
>>36482951
top kek dude, those are easy as fuck
>>36482831
I can do 6 and weigh 260. Makes me wanna cut 30lbs and double my chinup reps. Not really lemme get some pizza instead.
12+
Were you talking about yourself in that last question?
>>36482831
I'd say around 20
>>36482831
16 on 90kg bodyweight
>>36482831
I'm fat, so prolly right around 2-3
>>36482962
How are you able to do a one-hand pullup?
Whenever I try to do one, all my body turns around
>>36483027
same
>>36482831
>mfw I am dyel by /fit/ standart but I can do 20 clean pullup
You need to understand that if you can't do at least 8 pull up, there's a problem with you.
>>36482856
>>36482919
No excuse.
I'm 24% at 196 lbs and I can do 15 pull ups max. When I cut back down to like 174 or lower I'll be back at 22 max again. Probably 25 max since I've gotten stronger.
>>36482884
>>36482906
Do them every day. When bored just max out. It's what I did to increase pull ups years ago.
>>36482922
try to get to ten. 8 is more than the average push up bro.
>>36483011
good. you will live if you ever find yourself hanging from a ledge.
>>36483027
have to work you way up to it. Get ridiculous bicep and overall arm power. I can do an "assisted" one are pull up. It's when you hold your wrist with the other hand for support. Learned it from the convict conditioning book.
>>36483068
All men should be able to do 8 pull ups clean. A lot of my friends who are in the gym 5 days a week can't even do 8 and it's weird because how muscular and fit they look.
>>36483084
I can do the "assisted" one too, but it's more like I'm pulling really hard at my one hand as well.
>>36483084
I twist around wildly while doing the assisted pullups, too. Probably just need to work on forearms strength and control. Only assisted one-armed chinups work for me.
>>36483027
stabilize your body with your core. do you swing back and forth violently while you do two handed pullups? its the same principle
23 is the best I could, but I don't even lift. Might explain why I can't do more than 1 one handed ones.
i can do 7 chinups, been stuck at 7 for a while. treating them like a regular compound lift. sets on last session were 7 7 6, each to failure.
haven't tried pullups since i switched to chinups
>>36482831
I've been trying to improve my chinups for months and I've barely made progress.
I did 8 today, with 45 additional pounds at 200 lbs bw :^)
>>36482831
Did a superset of 6 yesterday after sets of 9 and 8 chinups with +10kg.
I started a new training cycle yesterday and switched from chinups to pullups
>weighted chins +25kg x 6
>barely 8 pullups
my forearms hurt like hell, gonna do pullups every workout now. feels badman
17 is my new max
I was up to 15 or so but they mysteriously began to hurt. Every time I do them I get sharp pains either during or some hours after in my left deltoid-pectoral tie in sort of area where the two muscles meet.
it's quite depressing tbH.
>>36483842
do them every day multiple times a day.
I don't lift, am approximately 200lbs 25% bf however I can do 4x8 from dead hang with my fingertips

>>36484235

>>36484235
So you don't have sweat glands in your palms and your toes are fused together?
11. Not tried to increase the amount though.
>can do 3x10 bodyweight at 180 dead hang
>can do 3x5 + 35 pounds dead hang
What sorcery is this?
>>36484246
climbing is not lifting though. At a gym, not everyone has special shoes or chalk for lifting but at a climbing wall, pretty much everyone uses climbing shoes and chalk. I worked at a stone yard and would go to a free outdoor climbing wall after work that was on my path while walking home. Majority of them were nerdy looking college kids though.
22 clean in a row, after that they aren't clean enough to count
How do you guys get in the 35-40 range? It feels like I've been stuck in the 20s for a while
Right now I can do 6 or 7
When I'm leaner I can do 10
My wrists hurt like hell when I try pull ups. How to overcome?
35 at 195 lbs.
>>36484348
Maybe change your grip width
>>36484295
Im very strong, little body fat, and an encyclopedia of pull-ups. I also train my fingers by doing finger tip pull-ups and pushups. Also work on my one arm hangs, one arm pull-ups, and finger tip pull-ups. I wipe my sweat on my jeans at certain spots on the wall where I can rest or only need 1 hand.
>>36484333
>How do you guys get in the 35-40 range?
use weight belt and throw a 45 on it. Work your way back up to 20+ range with plate and check progress for pull ups without extraweight.
>>36484348
if your gym has them, use the parallel grips. even better if they have rings or rotating grips.
>>36484348
Take my advice. Your wrists hurt because they are either weak, or just not strong enough to support a really strong back. Please try this out.
1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmMfW2kCkeE
2) work on frog stands and hand stands, do hand stands against a wall if needed and hold for time.
3)work on just hanging and work up to 1 arm hangs
>>36484513
I should also point out that frog stands and one arm hangs work the wrist differently then say a wrist roller. Pullups are also about the maximum control you have over your body, not just how many you can do.

>convict conditioning book
Got an ebook for that?
5-10
20 after a timed 500 yd swim.
>>36485163
I do 20 after a timed shit taking
I can do 10 (1.76 m, 60 kg)
8 clean, and another 5 half reps (stopping half way down)
>>36482831
Because it's all I can do. A month ago I couldn't even do one.
Markus Rühl cant even do 5 pullups so I guess I am atleast better than a Mr. O competitor.
Because I weigh 280 lbs
>>36482856
Dont be a faggot. I weight 240lbs at 6 foot one. I am probably around 25 percent body fat, and i can do 20 pullups. It is just something you have to do to get good at.
What works for me is the pyramid method.
1, wait 10 seconds, then 2 and wait 10 seconds, and so on until you fail a set. Once you do remember where you stopped then do it again tomorrow with only 9 seconds between, and 8 the next day. When you get to 4 seconds you can go back to 10 and add an extra set then work back down again. It is great how fast this worked for me.
I can do 6 and I deadhang all of them.
desu it's fucking hell on my shoulder joints.
>>36483154
You must be really skinny. Almost every skelly person i know can do about 20, and every big guy i know is usually around 8. Skinny people just dont understand how much harder it is when you are over 200 lbs.
>>36482831
3x15 perfect, controlled reps.
>>36486402
fatty pls go with your e-statting shitty 20% rom pullups and crap advice.
>>36482831
because I'm a fat cunt to be honest
It's hard to get better at them when you can only just squeeze out 4
>>36482831
26, I weigh 240 lbs, fuck you.
13 deadhang
usually on pull up day ill do 2xf then 2x3 weighted
been upping my reps by doing 1 set every day, stopping just before failure.
