Do You Do Pullups?

How many of you do pullups as a part of your workout? If so, do you do negatives slowly, or what?

Or do you substitute pullups with other exercises that work the same muscle?
Feel free to share any techniques that can be helpful.

I do pull-ups, but I can only do maybe 7 at a time or so..
 
I don't do them in my workout...but want to -_- I suck at them and can bang out probably 3-4 with just pullups. Then I can get another 4 or 5 with leg swinging momentum
 
i do pullups... i run at a park that has a 3.3 tenths trail around it,,, I run around and I jump up and grab a rafter in the lil building and do them slowly to failure... i usually get 4or 5, then around i go running a 7-8 min mile pace for the 3 tenths and then i will get maybe 10, and around I go... then i climb trees and stuff, and and and and and

if i just get warmed up real good and go do pullup on a bar verses a rafter (square board- hand killer) I can do 17 (PR) from a hang to chin over squeez, and back down. i weigh 195 lbs and i am 39 years old. But i don't look to hot... hahahahahaa

dang i am typy and wordy tonight..... sorry,,, i just quit eating sugar a lil over a week ago,,, and i am all tuned up.

chin ups are when your thumbs are out, and pullup are when your thumbs are in right?

Chin ups are when your palms are faced toward you and you are utilizing biceps.
Pull ups are with your palms away from you using your triceps (all among other muscles of course).
 
no actually i think chin ups are when you breath in on the way down, ad pullups are when you breath in on the way up.... but i could be wrong....
 
DW guys, i got confused on something. I do over hand chin - ups in my workout and yes, do the negative phase slowly, the slower the negative, the greater the hypertrophy. When you know that you won't be able to get yourself up for any more, do the eccentric phase of the last one as slow as you can.

I think you're talking about chin - ups. Pull - ups are easy and you can probably do alot more than 7.

In my experience pretty much everyone says it differently,; I'm not aware of any "official" designation for them. A lot of people I know use just the opposite terminology
 
No actually I think the proper way to describe then is ----HAHGHAAAHAHAAA you ghuys are a hoot. sheeeesh,,, I am, laughin so dang hard...

duh
doh
omg
 
so what do i do? my legs are against my bum and my grip is narrow and my finger nails are facing towards me, is that is chin up? i find this alot easier than i wide grip were my nails are facing the other way, i can only manage to do about 3 of them.
 
I do pull-ups. During the beginning of climbing season I can crank out 4 sets of 45+ pull-ups.

If you want to use pull-ups for strength or bulk, add a diving weight belt. I found a nice one that goes up to 40 lbs in 5 lb increments.

Here is a neat pull-up exercise...

1. Hands slightly wider than shoulder-width, palms facing away.
2. Pull all of the way up and hold up top for 5 seconds. Drop.
3. Pull all the way up and drop 1/4 way and hold for 5 seconds. Drop.
4. Pull all the way up and drop 1/2 way and hold for 5 seconds. Drop.
5. Pull all the way up and drop 3/4 way and hold for 5 seconds. Drop.
6. That was ONE rep... Repeat for as many as you can.

Rest 1.5 minutes and do another set. Try doing 4 sets of these bad boys.
