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.

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.

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...

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

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.
