How many pull ups can you do?

[pjk]

Hmmmm lets see.....I can do around 53. Then again...I was in the military so that did help a bit.....unless you consider it cheating......

if i was to add a little swing into my pull ups, id be doing over 50 no problem, never tryed it so it might be more

my body is basically not moving as im doing the pull ups (dead hang)

Try rock climbing for 2-3 hours continuously, and then try doing pull-ups. I used to do 10 consecutive pull-ups everyday after climbing for a couple hours. My best was 17 dead-hang pullups after climbing. Without climbing, my best was 33 I think. I haven't done this in over a year though. It's about time I get back into it.

Racquetball and Squash require the same amount of work -.-... they are the most active sports...

No, they really don't. I've played both for about 7 years. Squash balls go faster, and bounce much lower than racquetballs do meaning that you have to work twice as hard to get to it, plus you have to hit it harder to get it where you want. Ever tried hitting a squash ball off the back wall?

That said, racquetball is still a fun game.

10, Yay...Parkour is quite reliant on this skill as well.

Hmm I guess I get to brag some. I think I maxed out at 22 at the end of a workout while in high school. Although since then I've gotten quite out of shape.

a few people told me i had the best abs they've ever seen and the most ripped person they've ever seen
5'9" 153lbs

This seems contradictory - for that height, to really be ripped, I'd think you'd need quite a bit more muscle mass? 153 is fairly skinny for someone 5'9. Working out 2-5 hours a day, I was 5'9 and weighed about 175 in high school... and not because of fat

10 at most 15. Depends on the season.

Summer - I'm lighter since I lose weight playing tennis and soccer
Fall - I gain weight since I can't play outside anymore
Winter - Gain more...either for wrestling or I can't lose it when it's cold.
Spring - Lose weight for tennis and soccer.

153 is not that skinny for somebody that's 5'9" ... Ryan McCarthy (Cam Gigandet) in "Never Back Down" was in the 140lb range and he was extremely ripped (he's also >6ft i think so he's taller than me and less weight) ... my arms, shoulders, chest, and back are definately better than his ... abs are probably similar, not sure

0 the last time I tried.

 

[Novriil]

it's not about weight so much.. I am like.. umm.. 40kg? I'm really light but also I'm pretty weak.. only 2-3 pull ups. Muscles give weight more than body fat. I guess any 60kg guy who even train half as much as I do can do more pull ups.

 

[ConnorCuber]

Right now? I'd have to guess about 7. And that would be if I pushed myself as hard as possible. Once football season is over for long enough, probably about 4 or 5.

You gain weight for wrestling? I usually lose a ton. Last year I lost like 12 pounds by the end of the season(144ish in the beginning, 132 by the end). Of course I gained 7 pounds in the off season, so I'm actually lighter than last year .

 

[Parity]

I am 14 weight 110.
I bench 120.8 reps.
30 pound curls or however you spell it.25 reps.
50 pushups on my nuckles then 50 on my hands.

And more stuff.
and like 0 pull ups.I shoulder dis locates when I try them.
