    if you really want to be able to do pull ups, get on youtube. There are TONS of video's out there that show you how to improve pull up strength.

    At my peak, late 20's ~180# my best was 24 real ones.
    Now @ 38 170# probably 15 on a good day, a couple less of overhanded ones

    I am testing this week to see how many I can do without a weighted vest (I have been using the vest the past 3 months). Today I managed 28 wide grip pull-ups. I will be testing the chin-ups later this week and will report back; my goal for these is 30.

    SA=0

    LA= M/225/0/0

    I suck at it but I refuse to give up. I continue to try during workouts and I will get there

    I couldn't do any when I started. I was 278lbs, now I'm around 191.
    I can do around 12-15 underhand, 5-6 overhand.

    Omg, I just realised this thread is about pullUPS, not pushUPS. Doh. In that case, my answer is none :laugh:

    Did 4 sets of wide grip and 4 sets of close grip pullups last night using a 25 lb plate. Been stuck on 20lbs for a while. Think the V thread inspired me. :happy:
