If you don't know...then guess.
Please identify which it is you're talking about.
This is NOT a pull-up, it is a chin-up.

I can do a solid 1-3 pullups. There's no way you can do 2 proper pull ups. I'm even doubtful on the first.

On a good day I can generally bang out 15-20 for the first set, but it rapidly decreases from there.

Chin ups probably 30ish dont really care for these much.
Pull ups finally back in the 12-15 range. Im willing to bet the vast majority cannot do a single pull up.

The USMC had a pull up bar setup at Milwaukee Summer Fest a couple years ago. I think I did 31 or 32 when I was pretty buzzed.
Usual workout set is 15, 12, 10, 10, 10.

I do sets of 14 at the moment, which is why I figured 18-20 would be my max in one set. I'll try it tomorrow just for the hell of it. Maybe I'm way off.

Maybe 5? I do 3-5 off my hang-board occasionally. I was working on getting above 12 a while back, but I find if I don't do it regularly I'm no good. I could do 5 with 45lbs of added weight a while ago, but I always fatigue on quantity on pull ups.
Probably 15 chins though. SO much easier. I used to excel at flexed arm hang when I was a skinny fuck too. Just find that whole angle so much easier (shit lats IDK?)

At my peak I could do 50 dead hang chin ups (actually just stopped because I got bored) and 30 pull ups both under the chin and behind the neck. Now, maybe 20 and 10? I'm an out of shape old man now...

lulz..
I can do about 16-18 dead hang chin-ups.
In the Marines, 20 pullups of chinups is perefect on the fitness test. Not too many people can hit 20.
They are serious about "dead hang" pull ups too. Your elbows need lock out on each rep. None of that fake crossfit shit is allowed. It's funny to see when guys are doing it wrong and the guy counting reps is like, "1, 1, 1, 1.. anytime you wanna start doing pullups... ok, 2,2,3,4"
Sucks because by that time, the person has wasted all their energy and ends up with a fucked up score.

Ready? Begin. 0,0,0,1,1,2,3,4,4,4,4,4,5 and you're done.... so many times I used to be a dick about it making suer I rested my chin on the bar and dangled at the bottom and making the person counting say "ok" at the top and bottom.

Pullups are more about body makeup than anything else. I've got a buddy that can do over 50. He regularly does sets weighted at around 65lbs.
He's also 5'7" and 140lbs so it's all relative.

Fuck all this bullshit, let's talk about MUSCLE UPS, you pussyfaces. that's how I tore the labrum in my left shoulder. Was being stupid and doing them past my fatigue level, got half way up and lost stability in my shoulder. It was bad enough to need rehab but not bad enough for surgery. But now I have a dead spot in my range of motion, about 3 inches of travel from about my chin to my nose. Makes heavy strict shoulder presses difficult.
Well, you ain't no punk.

Not sure, I'd guess 14-15. I start with weighted ones (45's), then go to bodyweight.
I don't find any significant difference between chins and pulls in rep counts though.
Yea, probably depends on your build.. I think pull ups are more biceps and chin ups are more back muscles.

Yeah. Some people are just really good at them. I've seen a skinny guy rip off high 20's before. My wife knows a few girls who never work out and can out do her on the annual fitness test.

Back in the olden days I could do a straight arm one arm pullup. That shit is HARD.
Hmmmm...might try this. I think maybe if I kept balanced. Not grabbing my wrist with the free hand but handing a towel to grab (lower) to keep straight.
Either way that's a bitch of thing to accomplish.

legit one arm or one handed? I can do 1 handed pullups no problem (off hand gripping on hand wrist). One armed, i.e. off hand dangling at side or on chest, nope. http://www.beastskills.com/one-arm-chin-up-pull-up/I used to do them with towels, but could never get a legit one armed pullup.
Anyone can do a one handed pullup. The hardest part of one arm is the initial bend from straight. That is extremely hard.

srsly? I was in the ~24-30 range for chinups a looong time ago and was never even close to a 1-armed chinup [free arm just dangling/flailing for balance and touching nothing]
I always figured you'd need to be around 40-70 range [normal 2 arm] to be able to pull one off /no idea

Who are these men doing "chin ups?"
I thought those were exclusively for girls in gym class. Actually I do both. Usually low rep curls for Bi's and high rep chin-ups.
Pull-ups on DL day.

That's probably why your arm broke like a twig. There's a reason the gym teachers don't let the men do it, they're the experts. Stay safe. My arm broke before pullups and way before I became the mini-giant I am today.

It's not like you hit a # and then can do it, you have to train for it specifically. I could do one with a slight bend for the longest time, it's the initial bump that's the bitch.

Was never able to do a one arm pull up, but used to bang out 20-30 pull ups in my prime. Now I just do a few sets of 8-10 reps and that's it, not sure what my max is, probably not much higher.
What's the deal with chin ups vs. pull ups? Pulls up are noticeably easier imo.

A lot of people tend to over inflate their numbers for pull ups because they see themselves doing them at shoulder width grip.

Chin-ups, as mentioned, are usually for women because they're easier.

Wait, a pull-up has to have your hands a certain distance apart?
I believe so, you're arms should be in a semi V form, not just staring hanging shoulder width apart. Shoulder width apart is good for chin-ups.
I can probably do about 15 chin-ups and 5 pull ups I'd say.

Growing up we had "Presidential Physical Fitness" tests every year in gym glass. The women usually had to do the static hang rather than chin ups. Some people could hang there forever. It was nuts.

A true pull-up will be arms just outside your shoulder width.
Then you have wide arm pull-ups.

There are a million types of pullups. The standard is usually shoulder width, but there are also close grip, wide grip, behind the neck, one arm, towel, etc.

You mean the one where you go from a pull up and push yourself up to where the bar is level with your waist, and then back down? Yeah, that shit looks impossible.

Yeah, it was pretty impressive. He'd jump up and hang, do a pull up, then proceed to pull himself above the bar (It was a universal cable rack) do some dips, then come back down, hang and repeat...

I've gone wide of late. It is harder than shoulder width-ish. But a pull-up is a pull-up right? No drill instructor is yelling at a new recruit to "get those hands 22.3 inches apart, maggot!"
Perhaps for the military it is. Different grips impact the lift, see bench press.

I'll give it a shot on Friday at the gym.
That's what I think I can do, so we'll see. I have still been lifting all year, since January, 4x per week. I think I've missed maybe 4 weeks all year?

That's super. Have you actually been doing pullups?
If no, you will be sub-10. Bank it.

Wait, a pull-up has to have your hands a certain distance apart? Shoulder width is the basic pull up that most people can do unless you are severely out of shape. The wider your grip the harder the pull up.
So how are people over-estimating based on that. OP didn't ask how many wide arm pullups we could do. Ask a million people to do a pull-up and 99% of them are going to go with whatever feels natural, which Id imagine is somewhere around shoulder width.

Yes, as far as I'm concerned.
The wider the more the muscle group changes.

The photo OP posted is bit more than shoulder width. I am willing to bet that 80% of the people here will not be able to do a single pull up at that grip. Then again this is clubsi and everyone has wings like Arnold.

I go super wide, all the way down and all the way up and keep the legs straight and I can do about 15 on the first set.
There's no way some of the people in this thread get anywhere close to what they are claiming if they follow proper form.
50 bro or UB*. *until boredom. That's why I strap a smaller bro to my back while I rep out... don't want to be there all day brochato.

I assume only a few people in here actually have a clue what they're talking about.
Here's 50...and hes doing them wrong https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QXqWWWwVPE
78 and still not right https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VB7L7XcDArs
Not that they aren't strong or jacked.
Bottom line...I SERIOUSLY question anyone saying 50.

Exactly 20! Not 19? 21?
Everyone's round numbers are intrdasting.
at the crossfit games 2011 i went to, the marines had a booth where you could walk up and do pullups. if you got 30 you got some decent prize, if you got 20 you got a pen. i got the pen. i'm not sure anyone that day got 30

The black guy isn't that bad....at first.
About a year ago I tried "hollow" pullups. http://www.menshealth.com/fitness/better-pullups
They are a bitch, but awesome.
I fucked up years ago. I would do pullups with straps. That was a mistake. My grip is still weak, but improving.

So I was wrong...I did 10 chin-ups this morning. Used to be easier when I weighed like 165lbs...not I'm 193. I still wonder if you're doing proper chins.
Not hating too much here, but you've never seemed very strong. More skinny fat and weak. Unless something has changed.

I struggled on the last one but the trainer said "We'll take it"...and I figure they were done right since he was there monitoring.
And like I said, I have been lifting still all year, definitely putting up more weight but still need to work at it.

You have the fucking weirdest belly I've ever seen. Hangs like you weigh 300 pounds, but you clearly don't.
Tell me about it, I hate it. Guess that's what I get for being a fatass throughout my growing years. I've seriously considered some sort of liposuction.
