    12 close 10 norm 6 wide x 3 sets losing a few reps on each. Lifting your own body weight once ain't easy its a great achievement alone for some,

    I can't do any at all. I've been working on it for months!

    Two weeks ago I couldn't do any chin ups or pull ups but now I can do 3 chin ups from dead hang and pulling up to collar bone(not chin) consecutively without a rest...no full pull ups yet but working on it through assisted and negative's.

    I'm up to 9, can do either pull-ups or chin-ups about the same. For the last month I've been doing 20 (assorted styles including wide grip) almost every single day, plus 60 push-ups. I have a goal to do 10 consecutive overhand pull-ups by New Year's day. By the way, I could do about 2 at the end of August if I was lucky. It's amazing how fast your body adapts to an exercise by doing 20 every day!

    It takes time and practice to build, you'll get there. Yesterday I did 20 consecutive wide-grip pull-ups and that was after my main workout so I was a little tired at that point.

    this is my goal! I currently use the really skinny assistance band at crossfit and I'm so close to doing it on my own!

    0. I can do 0. That's why I didn't respond.

    I have no advice to give or guidance to offer. I can do 0 pulls ups/chin ups.
