How many pull ups can you do?

I can do 22 of those kipping pullup things(tried it only a few times, don't judge me). It is amazing how much the numbers decrease when done the right way.

 

What gloves do you guys use?

My hands turn into ever peeling shark skin. I use weight gloves, but it doesn't help much on the fingers.

 

12 strict

14-15 with bad form

i can do 2 lol

 

I can do about 17, but they are a bit sloppy, my arms are only 3/4 extended. I can do one not very good looking chin up with one arm.

 

i can do 8 but we do sets of 8 so cud probably do 12-14ish

 

I used to be able to do 12. Then i learned how to do them properly, now i can do 4.

 

18 with good form but I rarely do more than 12 or 14. I prefer to add weight not reps.

 

Usually around 10 good form ones. I think my record is like 11,12.

 

Workout gloves, which look extremely gay. Don't get cheap ones, you will really feel the difference between the 5 and the 15 euro gloves. They will last for years, it's really a small investment that pays off every workout.

I did 27 pullups yesterday (163lbs), but I cheat. During the last 10, I don't stretch down all the way. I recon I could do 20 in perfect form. Strangely, I can do only one or two more chinups than pullups.

 

Me too. I am absolutely terrible at them!

Does anyone know a good plan/programme to build pull ups up to 10-12 from my current position of 2?! thanks

 

It not rocket science. Just do 2 then rest a couple of minutes and then try to do another 2 if you can, and just repeat. I started of only being able to do 3-4 and used a 3 sets of 3 reps routine and gradually built up to my current level. Once you can bang out 10 reps start adding weight and you'll see a good improvement in the number you can do consecutively.

 

Try holding yourself at different points of the movement for 5 seconds or so. Focus on your weakest point.
