How many pull-ups can GFY'ers do?
 

Was at the gym, going about 4x's/week, I only do weights now and ZERO cardio, so i'm gaining weight, plus i drink tons of beer.

Tried doing pull-ups for the first time in years. I got 5 only :Oh crap

Wondering how many can YOU do?

i can do 100 in sets of 20

Holy shit. I think that is quite a lot by any standard. Are you a gym whore?

The most I have done in a row is 25. I hve done 300 pull ups before I sets of 5. Taking short 10 second breaks in between each set.

I have. Video somewhere on youtube doing pull ups actually. If I could find it I'll link it.

probably not even one

No, he's a liar. They're a lot more common.

i played football and basketball. i have family that went pro not saying who :)

I could not do one. I currently weight about 220lbs and obviously lack the upper body strength do a single one. When I was younger I could pump out twenty-five in a row easy.

Now, if you want to bike forty miles in two or three hours, I might just be your man.

The typical GFY webmaster can pull up 5 Snickers in one sitting.

Typically use them as a warm up so ill do a few sets of 15-20. weighted pull ups i can do 5 sets of 5 with 90lbs attached

I think I can do 5, maybe. I used to collegiate wrestle too, ten years ago.
See avatar.

I can pull up a chair but not my pants.

up to 5...i bought door way gum and im getting stronger

put up a grand ill prove it :2 cents::2 cents:

Haters gun hate bruh...100 pull ups in sets of 20 with rest between isnt far fetched at all. Yea its a workout but if you go to the gym and actually train you can complete that with ease in a few months time. Most people mentally fail before their muscle fail.

I can probably do 20 in one sititng, but I work out 4 times a week

pulls up: 30 in the past (now 18)

max pullups my set reps go

14
12
7-8
4
3
= ~40

chinups sets

35
25
20
15
12

= 100

exactly!! you dont rest between sets much :1orglaugh 10-15 secs if you are out of shape it burns like a muther! plus pain for a few days. luv that shit your body telling you damn you slacked dogg

is this a bet and if so is it open to any takers?

you put up the grand?

but is it a bet? you put up a grand too right?

Haha, for sure typical, but seems like we do have a few buff mofos here on GFY

That is fcking NUTS! :thumbsup

Ever see a pic of Choopa Phil? Believe anything he says :thumbsup

It would be according to what "kind" of pull up you are doing.

If I grab underhanded I can do a ton of them...

But doing them the RIGHT way, OVERhanded with a wide grip? I do the exact amount that I use for all my sets of excercises: 3 sets with 8 reps per set.

yes but the are some requirements :)

a week room at the hilton a rental car and unlimited meals

About 20 at the moment. Best record is 25.

From 5 to 10

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..lol

Are we talking wide or close grip?

This is his cousin.

You figure it out.

Speaking for myself - I am a whore in the gym locker room.

the biggest requirement is your doing 5 sets of 20 with 10-15 seconds rest in-between.

I'll take those odds! Btw, not saying you can't or haven't done this, but statistically, just being able to walk up to a pullup bar and bang out 5x20 pullups, the odds are against it i bet.

i no longer hit the gym for years so i doubt if i can even do 5 pullups hehe

I just did 6 and thought I was doing good. Fuck...

During the course of a workout about 100, no sure how many I could do in one set, maybe a 20 - 25.

No idea, I can only count to 10 :helpme

Post pic!!!! or he's a fat slob lol

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

15.

I exercise to maintain health now and keep a decent image, not to be ripped much.

3x a week, elliptical with some weights for mid and upper body.

Odds are even lower when you know that BM talks mostly BS + that he is not very young, if I remember correctly in 40-50s?

And at the very end, nobody knows how he looks like so he would send you young blood from this hood to assume his place :1orglaugh
