Most wide-grip pullups I’ve done to date is 26
Chins : 37
Weighted : 105 for 4 reps
My bodyweight usually fluctuates between 170-180 but I’m currently at 165.

I guess I’ve always only counted a rep if it’s from dead hang until my chest hits the bar. Merely getting my chin over the bar, I don’t even feel my lats start to contract. On a good day I’m typically between 8-12 at bodyweight 210. I would love to see vids on all the guys claiming 20+ lol.
Justin Harris is amazing

I agree.
I have the Iron gym pullup bar. The very widest grip (pullup grip) i can pull out 10 good reps. After that my form struggles and i stop. I weigh 219 and 8 ounces with clothes and boots on. Cell phone in my pocket and a wallet full of cash. This was taken this past Monday at one of those Scales at GNC that you put 50 cents in.[/quote]
you’re supposed to weigh in your boxers man.[/quote]
I started to, the lady at GNC started yelling and shouting nonsense about getting the security involved. So what could i do, besides i was free ballin that day. Weighed myself fully clothed…
I did 8 chin ups today. Yes i am awesome 
Chin ups (supinated)@265 = 8 dead hang, no body movement
15with a kip
Dont vilify kipping - if your kipping chin ups go up so will your strict form ones. Read the Tim Henriques article on chin ups.
Most impressive chin ups I’ve heard = Terry Hollands WSM competitor does 7 at 180kgbw (no doubt he used some body english on these). Anyone know of any stronger feats of chinning strength??? [actually come to think of it I would have thought Konstantin Konstantinov could do a fair few with 180kg total weight if he does 50 with a serious kip:)
Check out Ben Bruno’s youtube videos for anything strong chinner. He’s got a 2*BW chin up vid (total weight something like 160kg total weight)
Ha didnt think so
No one can touch my 495 for 6-15. bitchez

Fucking n00b, I do 495 for a warm-up set of 20. I also use a 5 second count up and down with a 3 second hold at top and 3 second stretch at bottom. All reps dead hang and full ROM not these half reps where only the chest touches the bar… I pull to my waist bitch. Oh and my back is Hyooge and Ripped
I can do about 25 dead hang chins and 16 pull-ups(really loose shoulder joint which starts rubbing/burning) so rarely ever go for a max.
Can do 5 chins with bw+40kg and recently did some cluster training for chinups with bw+30. Did sets of upto 3 for 1hr or until reaching 100reps.
Every so often i’ll have a few weeks blasting out chins/pullups(fav exercise) and do anywhere upto 300 an hr using clusters 3-4x a week.
All reps are dead hang too, hate cheating/kipping.
Honesty depends on your form if its impressive. 30 of your pullups may actually only be 20 using proper form.
I also think how much you weigh can make a difference, 15 would be impressive for a guy whos over 235 pounds IMO
Agreed. Just for fun the other day, I tried doing pull-ups in the style of one of the previous poster’s videos (chin cleans bar, dead hang for 3 seconds, repeat). I got 13…and the last rep was up for debate…

After reading this thread, it’s making me wonder how many people are doing pullups to build their backs and how many are just trying to get better at doing pullups.
40 bw
8 85 lbs

I would like a bigger back, but I would also like to be able to do more pull ups for the army PT test. These are two different goals with different methods of achieving them imo.
Also, anyone else done the Armstrong Pull Up program to increase their max reps? I got mine from 9 to 13 in about 5 weeks, still going at it.
Who cares how many pullups you can do. Or how big your back is.
What separates the men from the boys is what’s your chin 1RM (or maybe 3RM)? -any form allowed as long as you go from a hang to chin over the bar. I’m on 145-150kg total weight.
Oh I see how this thread works…
I did a pull-up today and pulled the gym down around me!
But sadly all the witnesses were killed in the rubble so you’ll have to take my word for it.
