Genuinely do you think you could do 120 any style pull ups...? Give it a go mate see if you can... Thing is with pull ups there's lots of variety...going down to a dead hang...where you unlock your scapula this makes it even harder....and going supper wide as apposed to just wide Yes, I think even now, untrained, I'd have a good chance of doing 4 bicep pull-ups per minute. So, it's looking like my bet was safe, no way is Francie doing 20 proper pull-ups in a row. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Try the bicep pull up and tell us how you get on...don't say you think you could give it a bash and tell us how you get on Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mate, I've done bicep pull-ups, they are not in the same league as a overhand pull-up, they just aren't. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

leegreen 2,221 Posted 22 hours ago Report Share Posted 22 hours ago Sorry to wade in and I haven't read past posts. But, are you talking full length pull ups or the little 90 degree gay ones? Because even 20 full length arm straight pull up is a feat on its own, even with a bicep pull ups. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't Francie will be able to do 120 full pull-ups either in 20-30 mins, and by that I mean proper pull-ups, which are overhand, full, and chin over bar. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I got brought stages , I’ve had bit of a kick last 18 months that’s stopped me from training so I’ve started back quite hard since Xmas . Today was a split day and just out of interest I did 5 x 5 pull ups . Recorded 5 / 3 / 3 / 4 /6 so 21 out of 25 . not bad at all for 92kg , and I was blowing like a steam train at the end of the. The idea promulgated online that the average guy 20 - 45 should be able to do 13 pull ups straight off the bat is quite frankly utterly ludicrous Ever see anyone do a one armed chinup, from a dead hang(no holding wrist with other hand etc.) Twice have I ever seen it done (one was 11 years old, a younger sibling of 2 international athletes) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
