Never in my life have I ever been able to do a pull up and I did body building classes in Jr High and baseball all 4 years of high school.
|
|
I said zero, cause I can't do it one armed! (recovering from shoulder surgery)
|
|
|
I can do 14 after a good nights sleep, it goes rapidly down per set after that.
|
|
I only didn't max the pull up portion of the PFT 1 time right after OCS (18, was weak as could be but ran my best time ever at 18:58). When I was at my prime 25-27.
I jumped up and only did 17 the other day. I was fucking embarrassed. Back on the 3 max sets a day routine. |
|
about 35 I also have a huge dick. Figured I should throw that out there since this is just a poorly veiled dick measuring contest no?
|
|
I used to be able to do 14-20 depending on how much I drank the night before.
Now I'm able to do 6-10ish. |
|

right now 0.0
I do have a bet with my wife that I will loose 40 lbs. in 6 months so maybe in July I can do a few. |
|
I can do 18, but I rounded up thanks to your shitty poll options.

When I was a freshman in high school, we did that Presidents Physical Fitness test thing... I couldn't do a single one and got all kinds of shit for it.
I said, "Fuck that shit... I'm gonna do all the pull ups" Could of years ago I was doing three sets of ten with a chain and 50# weight, but started having elbow issues. Now, I use a 35# weight. I've topped out at 39 in a single set. Today, I could do maybe low/mid 30's. |
|
A little over twenty, but I'm trying to get that back up to the mid-thirties and eventually hit forty.

Ive worked out with weights since I was 15 .
I played football since I was 12 & worked out every day on highschool before school started. I did mandatory pt in college including pullups. I did triathlons later in life. .I could never do more than 12 pullups at a time. Now down to 6. I can do a shit ton of dips and push ups though. I could never understand those that could do twenty plus. Props to you guys. |
|
well, today i did 11, 10, & 7.
I can normally belt out 15 on a max |
|
|
64 is my current best.
The real question is how many conex's can you summit?
|
|
Very rarely do I see anyone do pullups correctly. Since I left the Marines, it's virtually never.
|
|
On back day I do three sets of 10, so I guess if I just did as many as I could in one go it would likely be 12-15.

View Quote A few days ago I did 40, my personal best is 65 (about a year ago)...non kipping, because after all that's not a pullup it's a kipping pullup. And no I did not pick that number because it's one more than your 64. I'm sure I've posted it a half dozen times in the fitness section. |

I can bench, dead-lift, curl, squat, do lat pulls all day long. A pull up? I look like a fool struggling to get my chin over the bar. I have no clue why that is. I'm not fat or out of shape, either. I'm 5' 10" and 180 pounds. |

22 on average for my first set.
I take it serious and have for years. Every back workout for the last decade has started with between 35 and 50 pull ups, done in sets to failure until I hit that number. Sometimes my entire back workout will be between 100 and 200 pull-ups, just going to failure until I hit that number, changing grip every set. Do that once a week for a decade and you too can do over 20 pull ups. |
|
65 years old. I can do 8 wide grip, all the way down , overhand pull-ups, 8 close grip and then 8 underhand.

I believe ya, and I agree kipping is garbage. I do pull ups to be able to pull myself up, not to flop around like a weirdo, cant kip yourself over a wall.

6-8
Sadly. At the moment able to do 4 sets of 5 or 6 depending on the day and my back / neck. If I push I can hit 8 in a row but that finishes me spine wise. Trying to work up to 4 sets of 10 eventually. |
|
|
Just did max deadhangs the other day 32 (PR is 39)
Last time I did max kipping it was 100 (PR 120) |
|
I dont know how many people at Cola Warrior passed the conex, but I doubt it was 18%, that requires about a 20 pull up ability. |
|
Actually, just tested this today.
I did a set of 13 today, and decided I wanted to go eat pizza instead, so I stopped. |
|
A max-rep set right now is 18... so, I don't get to vote in the poll.
|
|
Actually 13% of contestants completed the conex.
So 18% isn't TOO far off on 20 pull ups. Though Cola Warrior would slightly over represent ARFCOM members who go outside. |

When I was in college, wrestling and playing football and in the best shape of my life, I could barely do 5. I was strong as hell, but just my build and weight-to-body type was always a struggle. I knew kids who could do 40 that didn't work out...just something in their build and musculature.
Pullups are weird that way...some guys just aren't built right for them.
When I got in shape in my early 40's, kind of made it a goal to be able to master the fuckers. I can do about 10-12 with good form now, which is a big accomplishment for me. Doubt I'll ever get to 20, without training like a lunatic for it...and why bother? I'm strong and in good shape. If I have to save my life by pulling my body weight up 15 times in a row, oh well it was a nice life. |
