Not a damn one. When I try to do them at the gym I have to hang after the attempt and pretend I was just stretching.

In reply to: Anybody do pullups with just their middle and ring fingers? I've been doing them lately and I really like them. I can rattle off 6 but I'm getting better :lol:
i mix two and three finger pullups into my pullup workouts. I never do too many, not worth a tendon injury.
I can do lots of pulls ups, both whole hand and 2/3 finger but climb with folks who can do tons less and still kick my ass.

I usually do 3 sets of 15 with a 45lb plate strapped to my waist, 3 times a week (2 sets wide and 1 set close), but like some others have noted I still can't climb very well, 5.9-10 at best.

31, palms away.
I used to do one arms, but I've slacked off and I can't do them any more.
I tried having this little kid hold only my legs and do a pullup once, I could almost do it. he probably weighed 90lbs, and I weigh 135.
But I still only climb 5.10-5.11
It's all about technique. Sadly, of which I have none. :(

it's possible. i can do one with the right arm, but only slightly past 90 deg with the left. had some debate as to what qualifies as a full one because once your bicep and the forearm muscle just below your elbow are fully contracted, you can't quite close that elbow angle as much as normal. definitely way past 90 deg, but less than if you were just standing or sitting around. verdict was if you're able to close that angle as much as ANATOMICALLY ALLOWED, that'd be one
didn't really work on it. think if your normal weight training include arms and lats, and you do cardio via climbing or whatever else and keeps body weight to whatever minimum it can be, then it's bound to happen

With one arm, ~75 depending on the day. I can also do ~300 with both arms while balancing a pyramid of fine china on my nose and simultaneously working on deciding the riemann hypothesis and quantizing gravity. I have also been know to rescue cats stranded at high altitudes and go for weeks without even closing my eyes to blink.

I used to be able to do pullups with just my ring fingers but now I'm old. I used to be able to do one arms with just the middle finger with either arm, but now I'm old. I can only do 10-12 pullups now, but I have 30 years of technique so I can still climb pretty hard. And I will never be as old as Mr. Kamps so I do have that going for me.

One-arms? I had to stop when my right arm got so much bigger than my left. Hey! Anybody ever tried to do one-arms with the OTHER arm?

About 15-25. I tried to make it my goal to do 30 but I was too lazy.
A friend can do almost 150, but he's bored alot and has done over 1000 in a day, what a waste of time.

I can do maybe 12 or 15. Pullups are boring. Power pullups are pretty cool, though. Just explode upward as fast as posible and lower to a slow 3 second count. Repeat 6-8 times during a set (and not more), and do just 3 sets with 5min. rests between them. This has done much more for my climbing than regular pullups.

I can do 15 regular on the jugs my hangboard. I can do 5 two finger pull ups. I'm also working on the 1 arm pullup, I use the center jug and the lowest two finger pocket. I'm hoping to be able to pull one of those before Christmas. :D

I don't do pullups. or chinups. or onearms. or bachar ladders.
I think that heavy emphasis on any of the above can in the long run be very unhealthy for the shoulder joints and elbow tendons.

OK Brutus, fill in the blanks:
"Heavy emphasis on climbing offwidths & chimneys can in the long run be very unhealthy for the _____ and ______."
I could do 3 pullups last time I tried (about 6 months ago). That's why I like granite instead of overhung limestone...

When I was in H.S. I could do 5. Then I was working full time and going to school full time so I had no time to exercise. When I started climbing this past August 5th, I could barely do 2. Now a little more than 3 months later, I can do 13.
That guy who can do 150 is amazing... It seems like his body is handling it as an aerobic exercise.
(edited to ask this question:) BTW- Does anyone know what difference in which muscles are worked out and strength gain from pullups vs. chinups vs. rockrings (both palms facing your ears)

At the very least 15 in a row, and more with brakes.

In reply to: In a row, palms out on the bar, 30. At intervals doing hand-jam-pull ups in my hand jam contraption, 300 in 60 minutes. Intervals work wonders for endurance.
Holy crap. You can do that many pull ups and you had to aid the 5.11 section on the P1 variation of Lightning Bolt Cracks? Dude, stop doing pull ups and start working on your technique.
