    maybe the both started out in Power lifting where short people have an advantage.
    most 6 ft 1 people are Ectomorph’s anyway.

    @ExtremistPullup no i get that the average height is below 6ft but in my gym ive never seen anyone above my height. and i mean jay cutler is 5ft 9 and coleman is 5ft 10 i think. just wondered why they’re so short

    @DoNotClickUFreak
    5’11 is only and inch below 6ft.

    You don’t get why 90% of weight lifters are below 6ft?
    Maybe its because the average adult male in the united states is 5 feet 9.2 inches.

    Dude i can do 100lbs for 3 sets of 3. At a bodyweight of 168. Im going to try to get it to 3 sets of 10 throughout football. Its gonna be hard but its also fun to do.

    those were some pretty solid pull-ups.. haha i thought i was doing well because i was able to do 3 sets of 3 (BW + 10, BW + 15, BW + 20 — i weigh about 170). but now i see what i should be striving for

    @enantiomer2000 You’re welcome. I actually started doing weighted pullups when I could do 15 reps. I converted to a 5×5 Max Weighted Pullup. When I stopped the strength block @ 50lbs 5×5, I was able to ease into 25 easily. It also helps that I wrestle, so I build strength via sport as well, but still. I also used a Gymnastic Interval that made crazy gains for about 1 month.

    @wrassling Thanks for the input. I can get up to 16-18 with OK form but will probably keep it up before adding weight. I am still getting sore with the sets I am doing so I must be doing something right I suppose.

    @enantiomer2000 Do normal pullups until you are able to do 16+ with GOOD form. Then from there slowly start adding weight.

    @ExtremistPullup Impressive! I can only get 5 rep with 70 pounds plus.

    There’s something wrong with you.

    Would you say that adding weight to your pull ups is better than just doing more reps with no weight? Should you shoot for the 8-10 reps range for strength training? Thanks.

    Amazing mate, I can do about 20 weightless right, I put 6kg in a rucksack and it felt like nothing, think im gonna start my weight ones at 15kg (35lbs?)
    I do 10 consecutive sets 60seconds rest and then throughout the day if i feel like it, once u can do 5 with solid form youve got no excuse for getting good at them, and building solid arms and back.
