How many pull ups can you do?

[Argo]

I just started doing pull ups after using lat pull down for years. I'm wondering how many reps can others do.

I'm 185lbs, I can do 8 reps on wide grip (hands at shoulder width) and 10 reps with close grip (palms pointing outwards). I'm pretty happy though, because 4 years ago I couldn't do more than 1 rep, and I weighed less back then too.

I weigh around 190 and with shoulder width and palms facing towards me around 10 I think. These are all the way down to straight arm at the bottom not the half-ass crap a lot of people do

2 I have strong legs but a weak upper body.

This is pretty impressive. I've never tried palms inwards, though. Gotta do it next time. Btw, by shoulder widhth I mean the long bar, passed the point where the edges start bending down. Your hands end up being about 2 foot apart.

Hmm for me shoulder width would be on the straight bar with my hands literally as wide or maybe a tad wider than shoulders.

Now if the pullups you're referring to are the ones with the bent bar so that your hands are actually angled inwards a bit - well damn those are hard i couldn't tough 10!

Those are the ones that I do at the gym. I absolutely hate the machine, as it wears my upper body out very quickly, but the results are good.

12-13 (with hands slightly less than shoulder width and palms facing towards me)

I'm up to 10 in one set. I can do 2 x10. The 3rd set never get beyond 5...

@ 6'4'' 195lbs, I've got too much darn body to pull up... short armed peple have better leverage.

Zip. Zero. Zilch. Never have been, never will be able to. I'm way too heavy to do that knd of stuff.

Maybe 6 with a wide grip.

I can do 10-15 now.. I weight 210lbs.. But about 6-8 months ago, I could only do 3-4..

Working out every day for at least an hour does have its benefits.
