Just wondering how many chin ups on average people are doing/can do (guys and girls). I was at a fitness show not long ago and saw people doing a chin up challenge to win a piece of exercise equipment.
 
I have to go out to the garage to do pull ups so I went out and tried this morning. I only got 10 so I guess I am going to have to go out there at least once a week.

When I was in Basic training in the army I was able to pump out 20 of them no sweat.

No 36 yrs of age...I went down to our Gym at work and busted out 3 sets of 2!!!

Well now up to 3 sets of 4 after 3 weeks...Going for 5 next week....talk about a killer exercise, I hate them, but you feel so darn good when you increase your numbers.

Only 8. I'm trying to get to 3 sets of 12.

someone told me to start doing 5 sets of 3, then 5x4 after a few sessions, and then 5x5.

it really does help add some endurance to your back, so when you then go to do 3 sets of higher reps you'll be far happier with the results - plus your form improves massively.

Need to put 45 kg. Can do over 20 easily, but I guess it really doesnt count with the weights lol :(
