    I think they get accounted for as underhand in the OP's question

    For you guys adding weights to your pull-ups, how many pull-ups were you doing when you decided to start adding the weight?

    F/24/162/ 0. Waiting on shoulder surgery, pushups and pullups are near impossible for me. Can't wait til i'm fixed and can *hopefully* do them.

    Male
    33 years old
    168 lbs

    I havent done a real test in awhile, but I normally do sets of 5 and switch off grips.

    some numbers
    8 chinups (palms facing me)
    8 overhand pullups narrow grip
    5 wide grip overhand pullups
    7 nuetral grip pullups

    dead hang for each one, proper form, no kipping

    also 3 L hang chinups
    3 L hang nuetral grip pullups
    2 L hang narrow grip pullups

    I also do hanging leg raises
    straight and bent

    I also practice by doing negative pullups

    If you can do 20 comfortably from dead hang with overhand/neutral,underhand, then its time to start adding weights. pull ups is not a part of my workout routine, but its something I do everyday. I have a pull up bar on the doorway next to my closet with a dip belt that has 50lbs hanging on it. I knock off 8 weighted pull ups every time i enter or leave or the room. On average totalling to about 50+ pull ups per day.

    Zero... And I did try a couple weeks ago. I used to be able to do 6 or 7 . That was in my 20's and I weighed about 27 lbs lighter.
    That would be something to strive for thou. To be able to do a pullup. Hummmm. Better start working on that. Better increase the weights I use for my arms, and getting to goal weight. :smile:
