I did 28 as part of a gold gym challenge. They were wider than I’m used to and overhand. also, they stopped me after I took 3 seconds in between reps.
At this point I don’t much care what my chin numbers do, since they tend not to influence my competition lifts as much as other exercises.

I can do 23 at 215. With two shoes. And socks.
37 pull-ups, 41 chins, not dead stop reps.
My best friend works as an FBI agent and he said the record at their gym is 110 pull-ups by a female. He didn’t see it but she was on the board and he said they are pretty strict about the form, that is pretty crazy to me.

Good point.
I used to feel so weak looking at others’ performance claim, but after watching some vids I was somewhat relieved…
How about with weight?
1 with 100 lbs (at a body weight of 180)
and 21 just normal
With weight. Best was 1 with 115lbs on me. I was at 205 then, but I could also do 25 pullups then. My strength may have gone up to get 23 at 215. There’s math involved. Much more than I care about.
my best is 20 reps @ 215lbs with no kip but with some bouncing at the bottom. I’ve done a combined weight of 323lbs (147kg) for a single rep and I’m aiming to be able to a combined total of twice my bodyweight. My relatively weak grip is what’s holding me back so far.
I haven’t gone to failure for a while on these but probably around 8 @ 215. I though it was ok but I guess it sucks. I use a wide grip and do go from a dead hang each rep, alot of people who I see do pullups don’t.

I can probably still do it but I dont train chinups, fuck them im to heavy for that shit.
That is what I used to think. There is a tremendous pay-off though when one starts at such a heavy weight. The more weight you lose the easier it becomes.
That is a given. At that weight you are pulling up more than what many guys end up strapping on in order to stimulate growth. I highly recommend that you stick with it, even if it is just once a week. You will receive an exponential rate of growth in strength is not size as well.
Best of luck. [/quote]
oh I see were the same weight.
my problem is I can only do 1 real set. Then after that its only a few reps here or there. I only train back once a week and I got a ton of exercises I want to improve on more than chinups so I just say fuck them.
I would train pullups after I lifted if I had someone to hold my feet. Id do like 3x10 or what ever with a spot. But without a spot its just stupid to me.
