    I can do about 7-9 at 64kg bodyweight.
    Currently up to 9 at about 215lbs. Grip pain seems to be the biggest limiting factor. It really hurts my hands/forearms to have to hold on for too long. I need to try to rig something up with straps sometimes and see if I can do more.

    Tried the hook grip mate?

    None, but it's my goal for this year. They reward lower body weight and while I am in a healthy body fat range, I weigh 175 pounds so I've gotta build up about 40 more pounds of strength. I've been doing pole fitness for a year so I feel my grip strength is good. I have a lot of smaller gals I work out with who can do them put cannot press or pull down as much as me, so it does get me down a bit. I need to remember to compare myself to myself and no one else.

    All the way down, arms locked out at the bottom, then chins over bar.
    No flailing of the legs or butterfly pullups.
    PB is 16 (narrow grip) but with a fair bit of flailing around on the last two or three!
    How many could you do at first? how did you progress?
    Started out at 5 or 6 (wide grip) but I was already well over body weight for lat pull down.
    Progressed fairly quickly to over 10 by doing a variety of grips and widths but taking ages to add any more. Fatigue gets me more than grip.

    As a side note I started out doing parallel bar dips at the same time and progressed much quicker from the same sort of starting point - PB is now 24.

    Wide grip I've maxed out at 22, last 2 knees came up some so can't count the last 2 based on your question, so technically 20. Chin ups 25. L-sit normal width forward grip pull ups 20.

    15 at 87kg.

    Use to be way better at them. Neglected them for a bit and now working my way back up again. (normally do low reps with weight though)

    I haven't maxed pull ups in a long time, I'm probably in the low to mid 20's @ 173 lbs.
