In multiple sets. Max is 12.

26 in a session is not possible for me yet. I have a penchant for bodyweight exercise.

Naah, max is 12

Anyway, guys I thought it would be nice to have a record of total no. of pullups. It will keep me determined. I hope others will too try it out and make it as an indispensable part of their workout.

I do one session for pull-ups everyday.
15 and done...

Aftr that hands just stop working...

10 pull ups + 10 Chin ups - Does that count as 20?

C

10 standard chinups
10 standard pullups
8-9 closegrip chinups
8-9 closegrip pullups

Currently I can manage anywhere between 35-40. Then I am supposed to go for widehand pullups/chinups but I can't so I use the machine.

15 Pullups today

Total= 26+15 = 41

Pull ups only

Chin up is easier and requires different set of primary muscles.

I am counting only widegrip for my count. Anyway you should be able to do widegrip if you can do standard pull ups. Remember 1 repetition is done from dead hang pulling yourself up till your chin is above the bar and then go down to the dead hang position again.

I can manage if I start with wide front pullups. I go like this.

standard pushups > standard pullups > military pushups > standard chinups > wide hand pushups > close grip pullups > diamond pushups > close grip chinups > pushups (name i forgot) > pushups with legs at a higher position.

After that I am supposed to go for wide hand pullups/chinups but my hands give up.

So have to use machine.

^^should start with Pull Ups first. Try doing push ups on one leg and medicine ball push ups.

Btw Military press and pull ups combo works awesome. Because you will be using antagonistic muscles and that gives you even more power doing pullups. Take enough rest in between.

^^
I am kind of following P90X so it has push ups first. But yes, pullsup get a lot harder after pushups. Might try the other way around. Btw, you drink Soy milk? What company? I tried Godrej Natural Flavor. It tastes awful. Smells horrible. I can't stand it. The one from some other brand costs Rs. 200 and this one costs Rs. 75. I didn't go for a flavoured one because of sugar. :\

^^Yeah, I used to drink Soy Milk. Both, flavored and natural. Only two brands Staeta and Godrej. Though, I never felt it so awful in odor and taste was at best neutral.

6 pullups today

Total = 41+6 = 47

I can do 20-25 but don't. Prefer freeweight exercises.

I drink homemade soymilk.

8+4+6+6=24 Pullups today

Total= 47+24= 71

22 Pullups today (sans the standard pull ups)

Total= 71+22 = 93

26 Pullups today

Total= 93+26 = 119

16 Pullups today

Total=119+16 = 135

18 (10+8) Pullups today

4+5 Towel pull ups

Total= 135 + 18 = 153

22pull ups

@Faun: so u r counting pullups from start....i.e 153 now.....

what is the max pullup u can do.....in 1go.....???

^^12.

ok....when i was in 12th std..i used 2 do 10-11pullups in 1Go.......then i exceeded to 15....then 20.....& now i dnt do it anymore......coz dnt get time 2 do it.......

^^thats great, you should do it now too. It doesn't take more than 1 minute to do a good set.
And this is how I prefer to do it:
YouTube - Basic Exercise Plans : How to Do a Pull-Up

8 pull ups
(6+4) uneven pullups
(5+4) Towel pullups

Total=153+8 = 161

Once thing I noticed is that for big arms you should pay more attention to triceps than biceps as triceps make up 2/3 of your arms. And reverse barbel curls for that extra peak when you flex your biceps.

Yesterday
10+9 = 19

Today
Weighted pull ups (7.5kg)
4+3 = 7

Total = 161+19+7= 187

Weighted Pull ups (10kg)
3+3+2=8

Total = 187+8 = 195

12+12=24 wide grip pull ups
3+4= 7 wide grip weighted pull ups (12.5kg)

Total= 195+31= 226

2.5!.. YAY! Will do more tomorrow.

Congrats

Only managed to do 2.

Total: 2.5+2 = 4.5

^^still a commendable feat !
The thing is that even in my gym only some 1% guys can do pullups...hehe. It's the ultimate test of power to weight ratio combined with parallel bar dips.

can do 6.5

What are weight pullups?

^^add weights (clench a dumbbell b/w your feet) when you do pull ups. That basically makes your lats more stronger. Remember to control your ascent and descent, you are training your muscles.

I can only do five at a time D:
