This calls for honesty here. Simply put the number of pullups you can do, and if thats with your hands facing away from you or towards you.... go and find a pullup bar if you arent sure


me: 4 hands towards me

I haven't tried it in years, and I know I would be ashamed if I did :(

My totally uninformed estimate: 3-5

If I don't do them for a bit, the numbers drop like a brick. On a normal day with my palms facing away from me, 10-12. The other way around(easier in most cases, unless you weigh about 65lbs) I get around 30-35.

Um, one is a chin up and one is a pull up, depending on hand position :p

For me - it depends on the width my hands are apart, if I grab the bar on the slant or on the straight, or if I grab the parallel bars (palms facing together), if I have any weight strapped to me. On average anywhere from 10-15.

I haven't touched a gym in years and surprised myself the other day when I was able to bench 180lbs (free weights). I did about 12 reps.

Oh wait, pullups...it's been a while, but I did 20 my senior year of HS...so let's say 10 now? Who knows.
