0-3 - Woman-tier. Does not and never has lifted, most likely spends most of his time complaining about fat shaming, white privilege and not being able to find a job.
3-5 - Pathetic-tier. Likes to occasionally (once a month) do a set of push ups or pull ups to reassure himself he's 'in shape', while the rest of his time is spent playing video games.
5-8 - DYEL-tier. Better than the last two, has put some effort into his pull ups, but does not have the numbers or size to impress anyone. Women are surprised when he says he 'works out'.
8-12 - Decent-tier. Congratulations, if you are in this range you are reasonably fit. Most people will still probably question if you lift but at least you can prove them wrong when they see you do 10 pull ups.
12 - 14 - Good-tier. You hold yourself well and have the numbers to impress novice lifters and normies. Girls may notice that you have a better than average body and men are more likely to respect you.
15+ - MAN-tier. Once you have reached this limit you will look noticeably good without clothes on and girls will be attracted to your aesthetic v-taper. Doing 15+ pull ups at the gym or anywhere will get you significant complements. You have made it.
You haven't made it until you can do 20+
senpai I can't even do 1, how do I get started?
At what weight ? 250 and 7, is that good ?
kek
I'm decently stronk, but at 6'9" 230lbs with a basketball wingspan you can forget a fucking pullup, I don't think I can do one even now

Yes. Nevermind manlet twinks with their relative strength meme.

>implying pull-ups aren't a meme exercise meant for DYEL twinks
Name one strongman that can complete a single pull-up. Oh that's right you can't because they do not exist.
>>36840115
Not entirely.

Banging out a bunch all willy-nilly is nothing for big guys though.
>>36839577
Is this total or per set? And if per set in how many sets?
>>bench
80kg
>OHP
55kg (can do 1 plate for 2 reps)
>pull ups
3
Why is this? Im6ft, weigh 90kg.
Mind you I only ever try at the end of a session
>>36840126
BTFO desu baka fan
5 chinups but 0 pullups
What does it mean senpai
I can barely do 3 pull ups but bench 50kg
>>36840235
Do you work your back, ever?
>>36840235
Similar stats to you and can bust out 12 per set
Weigh 95kg
>>36840301
I can do 8 pullups and bench 50kg. Fun stuff.
How heavy are you?
>>36839577
26 clean skin is my record. 13 with a 25kg weight vest. These were all strict form too, chest to bar.
Im 5ft4 btw. You mad?
25+ pull ups
5'10 160lbs manlet skelly that's why
Ask me about my horrible stats on the big 3
>>36840126
and why would you wanna be like these fat fucks?
>>36840235
>weight 90kg
>bench 80kg
the fuck nigga, u are fat or just started lifting. lose weight
if u weigh 90kg you should atleast bench 120
Literal dyel thread. Come back if you row 220+ for reps you weaklings.
>bodyweight 70kg
>bench 60kg
>dl 140kg
>squat 100kg
>20+ pullups
almost two years later
>bodyweight 90kg
>bench 120kg
>dl 205kg
>squat 160kg
>8 pullups
>>36840085
Slow negatives. Jump up or step on something so you can start the chinup at the top. Lower yourself as slowly as you can manage. Repeat. Do this until you can do 1-2. Then either do a few sets at a time or just do one set every time you pass your bar in the day.
>>36840342
Maybe he is an SS victim, that's why my bench was crippled for a while.
>>36840093
Saying someone who is skinner (say 170) doing 10 pull ups is NOT as good as someone who is heavier (e.g. 250) doing 5 pull ups is retarded.
Its all about a strength-to-bodyweight ratio
>>36839577
so a 120 lb manlet who can do 20 pullups looks better than a 220 lb guy who can do 12? yeah no fuck you
when i weighed 58kg i could do 20+, now i weigh 30kg more and i can do 12 so id say ive done pretty good
>>36840301
They use different muscles m8
pullups (broadly speaking) work back and biceps, bench is a pushing motion, using chest triceps and front shoulders
>>36839577
i could easily do 15-20 when i was 17. i'm 25 now and squat 2plates 5x5 but can only do 10 pullups.
what gives?
>>36840415
Bodyweight and strength don't scale linearly you mongoloid
>>36840416
listen to a bunch of girls talking about the male bodies in game of thrones
non of them would give a fuck about the mountain. some would be into Drogo.
vast majority would be into skinny guys with abs you wouldn't even consider fit.
So yeah. also how the fuck do you get to 220 lbs pound without doing more than 12 pushups? perma-bulk?
I can do 15 and I look like shit.
>>36840359
This.
You fucking dyel skeletors think you'd be able to still do 15+ pull-ups if you suddenly had an extra 30kg of bodymass?
The very vast majority of guys who can do 10+ pull-ups, i guarantee will not look like they lift in clothes.
>>36840359
your old form was just horrible,i gained 12 kilograms and my pullups went from 17 to 14.
>>36840731
what about john snow
>>36839577

DYEL Tier - pretty much true on my level, let's hope this chart is somewhat correct on upper levels.
>>36840261
it means to start doing pullups, try with chair at first
>>36840261
it means you cheat on the range of motion when you do chinups and you probably start at 90 degrees so when you try to do pullups you cant do shit because you're not training properly.
>never done pullups since years ago
>weighed 140 kilos then, didn't lift and could do two pullups
>now 95 kg, deadlift 200, row 105 and can't do more than one on a good day
I must have forgotten something somewhere along the way.
tfw can do 15 of each but not really that fit or strong yet. what a meme exercise
>>36840845
you just have weak lats,teres,biceps and grip.
lift more and cut.
>>36840843
Deadhang every rep desu senpai
>>36839577
pullups are a great exercise but talking about them is always a laugh. People treat it like a dick measuring contest and e-stat crazy. Another limiting factor is the fact that most people think they have good form when in reality barely one out of ten people doing pullups will be using slow deliberate tempo and good form with good scapula positioning. The vast majority of pullups you'll see at gyms or parks are past failure before they even begin and are done kipping without the chin clearing the bar and the grimaces involved would make you think the guy doing the exercise is giving birth to an adult sized elephant through his asshole.
>>36840874
this guy knows whats up.
as a trainer i see this shit at the gym all the time.
90% of injuries is caused by egolifting or bad programming.
>>36840788
Yes, it was, but I could probably work myself up to a set of 10-12 in a couple of months of work.
From what weight did you go up 12kgs? If you were really light and just added your beginning muscle you should actually be able to do more pullups with the higher bodyweight.
>>36840786
Excuses. I'm at 70kg BW and do 5 pull ups with 20kg added.
You don't think I could do 5 pull ups at 90kg, that mass being muscle as well?
>>36840900
actually you dont need much muscle mass to be good at pullups.its all about upper body muscle to bodyweight ratio and you can see skinny chinks doing 20 pinky pullups on youtube for this reason.i went from 62 to 74 to answer your question.
>>36840903
You probably could.
But odds are you wouldn't be doing 5 pullups at 90kg with 20kg added. Relative strength favours the littler guy unless there's a big discrepancy in talent/training age.
>>36840098
> 6'9"
>>36839577
I can do 32 in boots and uts.
>>36840928
Ah, I understand now. But pull ups are still fucking nice if done with progression though :)
>>36840966
americans with shitty form need not apply.
we're talking about dead hang with 1 second pause on top here.if you're so keen on spewing your shit upload a vid to prove it.
>>36839577
Hell yeah.
~8-9 130 pound skeleton here. Suck it fatties, im more of a man than you.
Thank you pullup post, fixed my self esteem.
ITT: /fit/ falling for the pull ups meme. When will they learn?
>>36840980
I don't pause at the top, but I've done it to prove a point on a PFT, and they've all counted, by someone who wanted me to fail.
>>36840916
I think for most frames like 60-70kg is optimal bodyweight for pullups, no?
>>36840415
>tfw I could do 40 pullups at 135
I can do 15 at 260, back is way stronger now though can rep lmao6plate deadlift and row 3 plate.
>>36841029
i think you're right,at least for guys in the 170-185cm range
Symmetricstrength.com has the only strength standards on chinups and pullups I have found.
Here are 2 examples, what do you think?
My opinion is that the 100kg one is relatively stronger but I wouldn't know.
>>36841086
It's stronger
Any more than 1 rep is cardio
