word to that

I agree, I would be somewhat interested in how weight you could stack on and do one pull-up...then what you are bouldering at.

I've cranked one w/ ~120lb body hanging off my shoulder, and I can do a couple one armed. I only pull off a V5/V6 if I'm lucky.

I think the more curious question is: what's your trad grade vs the # of cock push-ups you can do?

I climb harder when my pull up strength is better...or I've got less weight to pull up.

My stats are similar to many of yours in terms of difficulty (assuming you're talking hardest sends, not consistant OS ability), but I can only do a few pull-ups. (2-6, low end being when it's the end of a work out and I'm wearing my fat pants)

I've found that I'm likely to injure my self if I don't do them slowly and keep the load on my muscles; not sinking into my joints at all. I often only do 1-3 when I've very warm at the end of the night and try to do the up to a 10 count and the down to a 10 count. Somehow it's the stoppping and starting that is the hardest, and trying to stay really smooth minimizes the impact of the transition.

I'm absolutely horrible at pull ups. But decent at dead hangs.

There is really no correlation between climbing hard and pullups. finger strength and technique are so much more important than raw strength.

While I agree about the finger strength, there actually is a correlation between PU and OS level of the posts in this thread. R squared value is pretty low however, so It's not much of a story.

15 pullups 6a onsight
One question : what is the difference between doing a larger number of pullups,but fast, and doing a smaller number of pullups,but taking more time to lower your upper body? which one is to be recommended?

There is no relation between redpoint levels and the number of pullups reported in this thread. See my analysis here, if you are interested.

I really wanted to run with that one, but I'm trying to be nicer now. Its good to see someone at least picked up on it.

I recently knocked out 28 deadhang pullups in a row before, and I can do a single rep with 110-120# hanging around my waist (6'2", 185#)

But as for climbing, maybe redpoint hard 10 or easy 11?

I feel no correlation whatsoever. It has helped with bouldering sit-starts and dynamic moves (especially bouldering), but little else. I believe in Jay's little study, even if it isn't purely scientific. My guess is that after the "basic strength" threshhold or 8 or 10 pullups, the rest has no incremental effect on climbing at all.

V8/9.

Don't know current max # pullups as I don't train them anymore - used to be able to do 40.

Can pull off 2-3 one arm pullups on a good day.

Being able to hold a strong lock-off at different angles is very useful when climbing. Doing endless pullups is not.

I redpointed a 12a once... consistently rp 11c, onsite 11a, and i'm not really sure about pullups but i doubt i could do 20... maybe not even 15.

I've climbed harder than 12a in Thailand but those are holiday grades.

Ditto.

Pull ups may not matter with red points, but it may matter how long I can hang on before I fall into blue yonder.
