How many pull-ups can you do?

Just pretend doing a pull-up is like asking a question, you'll be there in no time -fullstop-

 

so amsterdam whats your secret??? at the moment i am doing 10 sets of 8 reps to try and build up or 3 reps of 10 sets weighted.

 

Are you doing them outright and not part of an intensive workout routine?

Just keep at them, also are you at your optimum weight? I'm always around 12 st. at 5'11 and I've just been working out for a long time.

Why don't you try 5 sets of 16 instead of 10 sets of 8. Then try 5 sets of 20, 25, 30 etc.

 

Of course not, we're just messing with you mate because you give such enthusiastic reactions to anything involving China hand Joe.

 

Probably over 25...i do 3 or 4 sets of 15. I'm 224 pounds.

 

I reckon I could do 20 ... but after that I'd be in utter pain.

 

20+ but I weight only 147, I think weight means alot in these kind of excersises.

 

weight means nothing that is just an excuse, i hear 200lb guys saying they cant do many pull ups because they weigh more than others i also heard a guy tell me that 5 of his push ups are as good as 20 of mine because he weighs more.

a quote i read somwhere....

"those who really want it will find a way, those who dont will find an excuse"

 

god i hope you're joking.
