How many pull-ups can GFY'ers do?

incorrect.. big guys will take 2-3 mins in between sets when going heavy, and this has been proven over and over again to be the most effective for strength gains and building size. It depends on your goals but short rests are generally for endurance/cardio purposes not gains.You don't "fully rest and recover between sets". That completely ruins the whole reason of doing sets.
You take about 15 seconds between sets. That gives the muscle enough time to get ready for the next set without it "cooling off".
There is a very good reason to do sets when you excercise. And it has nothing to do with resting or recovering...and everything to do with getting bigger and stronger.
If you fully rested and recovered between sets you would be back to zero on working that muscle.
And yeah, I know you're just saying that sets don't count in how many pullups can you do in a row without stopping. I was just pointing out what sets really mean.
oh. i can do 20 or so.. i normally strap on weights instead of doing more, got up to 65lbs or so but can probably only do 25lbs if i went in there today. doing reps of more than 20 is mostly jerking off...webmaster at pimproll dot comComment

you are a bit taller are you not? They are way easier to do for shorter guys like me but don't let that discourage you from doing them. Even if you start with the pully bar on the universal it is a start. It does your whole back, shoulders and arms and will help your overall posture so I can't stress this enough that this is an absolute essential movement. wide grip closed grip.. its all fine as long as you switch it up every now and then.I never really try to do them. However I see one guy at the gym doing them all the time. So the other day when he wasn't there I tried. I did three and thought holy crap they are hard. I stopped after three, I could have done more for sure. Not a lot more though. I am guessing about 3 more....maybe.
I will try and see how many I can do if i set my mind to it. I guess it is a great upper back workout. As Robbie said, I did the wide grip ones, over hand on the bar. Although I suspect the underhand grip close to the chest is also hard..lolwebmaster at pimproll dot comComment

Couldn't have said it better. Take 15 seconds between heavy squat or deadlift sets and let me know how ya make out!incorrect.. big guys will take 2-3 mins in between sets when going heavy, and this has been proven over and over again to be the most effective for strength gains and building size.

I can do 15, but what I typically do is 10 pullups, rest .30 and then switch my grip and do 5 more.Comment

After reading this yesterday, I wanted to see what I can do.
Results are 3 pullups. Struggled and barely did the third one.Comment

Maybe some guys do that...but the BIG guys like Dorian Yates, Ronnie Coleman, etc, say differently in their articles that I've read when I was learning to work out correctly.
It's about exhausting a muscle. And doing pullups just doesn't require that kind of rest period.
Yeah...maybe doing super heavy squats or massively heavy bench. But doing pullups? No way you would rest 3 minutes. You might as well just go home.-Robbie

I agree with you to a point. I said that for effect. My point was ONLY that doing 20 pull-ups is exactly that, you can do 20. Further, it assumes correct form, doesn't specify the type of pull up (wide grip, narrow, over hand, under hand etc) so everyone is commenting on what are likely very different things as well.You don't "fully rest and recover between sets". That completely ruins the whole reason of doing sets.

Pull ups are primarily about anaerobic endurance, not strength/power. Lifting weights for maximum muscle growth and doing body weight exercises are very different things.Maybe some guys do that...but the BIG guys like Dorian Yates, Ronnie Coleman, etc, say differently in their articles that I've read when I was learning to work out correctly.

Except its not about exhausting the muscle on every single set. High rep work with little rest also induces sarcoplasmic hypertrophy (pump/volumizing effect of the muscle and is temporary), not myofibrillar hypertrophy. Myofibrillar is what grows the muscle.
A pull up is a compound movement not a concentration movement, they are very different. You would want to rest a minimum of 30 seconds between pull up sets especially if you're going to failure each time. Weighted pull ups are a whole nother ball gameComment

Doing 8 per set overhand/wide grip is tough enough.
I'll see smaller guys at the gym (talking height/weight, not muscularity) who hop up there and just pound 'em out. Especially the shorter guys with short arms.
I'm 6' tall and 210 pounds with long arms. It's tough on me (but then again I only train back muscles once a week and not to total failure like a bodybuilder would).
Then again, I'm friends with some massive dudes who are super strong and bench press weight I can't even budge off the bar. But they weigh over 300 pounds and can't do any pullups at all. lol
You know the kind...the guys who seem to only care about one body part and just hit the bench press and arms every time they go to the gym.-Robbie

I was under the impression pullups are one of the 3 best and most effective exercises you can do.
push up
pull up
dead lift
do those 3 exercises properly and effectively and you can toss all the joe weider magazine selling bullshit out the window.Comment

Oh I know those types all too well Robbie! Squats for days! I wouldnt put a pull up over a squat.
Bench
Squat
Dead
Its smart to incorporate body weight movements in your routines, but they can only take you so far with your strength and physique. You need progressive overload.Comment

this kind of pullups i can do 25, in series i'm usually doing 15 and resting 30seconds, but i'm gonna try mentioned in this thread 15 second of rest - sounds hardcore.
theres also pull ups which can be done holding bar the same way ure holding barbells with ur hand under the bar not over it - this i can do 30+ much easier, not sure how u call this kind of pullups in US.Pure Japan japanese babes blogComment

zero lat work, etc. , I'm surprised you poopoo pullups instead choosing to overwork other muscle groups via squats and deads.Oh I know those types all too well Robbie! Squats for days! I wouldnt put a pull up over a squat.

@dynamo, hmmm...I never really considered the deadlift for a round ass.
Always squats and lunges. Guess I'm gonna have to rethink that one.

This is proof you can't do it, you bet 1K , why add some stupid shit to it that you know you can't have someone hold. If your poor ass can't afford a room and a rental bump it up to 2K. You have someone in your family that has done everything too. Just because they look like you doesn't mean they are family.Our site is coming soon. It will be one of the best ever! I know so.
