Thread: How many chin-ups can y'all do?

Damn last time I did chin ups was 30lbs ago... Don't really know probably like 10 now

A little over 25.

I can do around 18

19

Something like 8. I'm 6 foot, 200-205, 15% body fat. It's never been one of my best exercises, but it's improving.

heh, before back surgery, like 15. now, maybe 3 lol

you should clarify though. you really mean chin-ups, with palms facing you about 12" apart, or wide-grip pullups? i answered pull-ups btw.

I do 3 sets, 6 days a week.

3 sets of ten = Close Grip Pullups

3 sets of 5 = Wide Grip Pullups (Weighted 45 pound)

3 sets of 5 = Ultra Wide Pullups (Weighted 45 pound)

If I decide to go to the gym twice in one day,
6 sets of 10.

about 15...........what are does the close grip hit more than the wide grip?

Yes.

I tried 100 pound barbell pullup yesterday


And my forearms gave way before my grip.


I got 3 sets of 3 (LOL!!)

Which is not bad. However, I'm hoping
next week, I will be able to do 3 sets of
5

Yep! Summer is almost here. Time to put
the body on OVERDRIVE

Hey 5'9'!

I'm 5'9' myself

Too tall to be a Jockey, and, too short to
be a Runway Model



I get a more defined back doing close
grips pullups.

I also use the pulldown machine(s) as
well. (Wide Grip)

at 255 lbs I could squeeze out 3 sets of 12 on a good day.

Last time i tried was three weeks ago. I got to three sets of ten.

Completely baffled me.

12 - 8 - 8 was my best at this stage ~~

at 175 i can do 30

last time i tried was like 6 months ago and i did about 23...

15 wide grip chins for me.
