How many pull ups can you do at one time?

[Portasaurus]

I can do four!

That's better than the zero it used to be!

Apparently you only need to be able to do three to get into the Marines.

C'mon, tough guys! I wanna hear how many you can do! (Since this is apparently a fitness forum)

I go through about 5 pull ups a day, 10 if I eat Mexican food

Was 10 to be accepted into Airborne school; so several is good.

4 years ago I could do a one-handed pullup, now I can barely crank out 10 regular pullups in a row sometimes. It really is all fucking downhill after 25 and the fact that I don't work out almost ever these days obviously isn't helping.

[FoxxHound]

I can get about 2 over and 4-5 under.

[Formshifter]

1 pull up will get u in the navy

yknow the marines are a department of the navy.. the men's department

13ish strict. Haven't tested in a while as usually do 5 sets these days when I do them. At one point where I had a bar mounted I was up to 23 per set 4 times per day. Put on some weight since and stopped the volume, no-where near that anymore.

8

Are we talking hanging full pullups or the girly come halfway down and then go back up kind?

8 full hang and 0 of the other kind because I'm a man.

the other kind isnt a pullup breh

[Portasaurus]

Full hang.

I have a question, though. I'm doing full extension and not bouncing, but the "pull up bar" at my gym isn't like a classic horizontal bar. it's got all these fancy handles that stick out in all sorts of crazy directions.

Here are the ones I grab onto and pull my chin up all the way above my knuckles.

Am I doing real pull ups?
If not, what am I doing?

Do I look like an asshole at my gym?
Wait, don't answer that...

[katrik]

Ugh, in college I used to could do like 20+.. now I probably can't do but 5 or so.

work out at home and avoid the meat gazers

While 3 is the minimum for the marines, I'm pretty sure a minimum score on all three events (situp, pull up, run) is not a passing score. So if you get 3, you have to make it up else where by exceeding the minimum. My best ever was 38, but doubt I could do 20 now. Overhand grip / deadhang. Underhand grip is a chin up, and overhand is much more effective once you build up the muscles. When I was in the military I plateau'd around 25 underhand and could only do like 15 overhand - few months of doing overhand exclusively and I was breaking into the 30s.

1/2. Maybe. If I fart real hard.

Those style pull up you are doing with those handles utiluze more of your bicep then your back.
Rocking the horizontal overhand really wide will get your back.

And yeah you only count full hang. None of that halfway shit.
The only people who look like assholes are the guys do short little pumps not ever full extending

The short answer is they're all essentially pullups, it's just some place more emphasis on your lats, some place more on your biceps, some on your deltoids- they all will provide some percentage to all of the same muscle groups, BUT different amounts. If you're a fucking maniac purist who has to get his routine perfect there's a lot of research to be done as to how the exercises you're doing interact with these ("omg i'm doing 4 different bicep and 3 different deltoid exercises, I must do pullups that emphasize my lats 40% more than those to achieve perfect balance) but if you just want to be a normal human being who is a member of society just try to do a little bit of each kind. It's good to rotate different exercises both because your body, doing the same exercises over and over again, adapts to those exercises and it's kind of a misleading, uh, "false strength" or whatever, and also because it keeps things FRESH like JAPANESE PANTIES
