[quote=ol_mike]Several years ago I worked up to 18 straight hang pull-ups ,, no kip/kipping [swinging], age 50+. I didn't do any for 10-12 days preparing to do 20 then >.
""""" Injured in a fall, compound fractured right arm, 11 broken ribs, collar bone, back broke L1/t12, ++.

I have titanium rods holding my right arm together, nerve damage that causes big hand tremors and can only turn my palm upward to 'shaking hand' position. Can't use normal rifle stocks anymore, thumbholes/pistol grip now.
1 foot long surgery scar.
Worked up to 45lbs. dumbells, wrist crackling and snapping, pretty painful and stays constantly sore when doing it.
Amazing at the level of knowledge you have gleaned about someone by reading an internet post. lol Sorry to hear it. Sucks I work out at a gym full of powerlifting steroids users. Some hold powerlifting records. Many compete. I’ve never seen anyone curling 70’s for reps Maybe the fall effected your memory? About 5 reps each arm for a couple/three of sets.

I turn 60 in May. I never did chin ups which is the underhand grip and uses the biceps, I did pull ups which uses the overhand grip and works the shoulders, lats and triceps. I can still do a dozen anytime I need to. I am still bound by military grooming and fitness standards as an NJROTC instructor so I have never let my physical conditioning lapse

Been farm strong all my life, but never good at pull ups. <10, lol.
Recovering from an injury and losing weight they've been sort of a challenge lately. I've gone from being able to do 3 at Thanksgiving last year to 6 last night.

Some hold powerlifting records. Many compete. I’ve never seen anyone curling 70’s for reps Maybe the fall effected your memory? Hahaha! Sounds like a good gym! Never took steroids, but a lot of my powerlifting friends did. It is. 60,000 square feet. One of my friends power lifted and completed 30 years ago. Never cycled. He had super-human strength, literally At 165 pounds, he had a 650 pound squat and deadlift Pretty awesome numbers! I was a bench specialist, primarily geared, double ply, open back shirt. Competed as a masters lifter for 10 years or so. Best competition lift was a 177 bodyweight weigh in, and a 530 bench. That is still a masters 55-59 AND open drug free RPS 181 bench. In fact, all my records still stand. Even the raw ones. Best ever gym lift was at 190 bodyweight and 50 years old. 700 bench. That was a lot. 190 was too heavy for me. I'm only 5'3 1/2".

When I was in my late 20’s early 30’s…..20 pull-ups came pretty easy. 40 years later, and not having done any (until recently) 6 or 7 (underhand), 5 (overhand) is about it! But, I’m gonna improve…..though it will be slow and painful! memtb

I’ve always been a pull up/push up fan. I follow a guy on Instagram who did 70k pull ups last year. So, I decided to add even more pull ups and push ups into my weightlifting routine this year by doing 200 push ups and 100 pull ups per day 5 days a week. If I stay on track that’ll be upwards of 25-26k pull ups and 50k plus in push ups. I’m 51 & I can still do 20 true dead hang pull ups. Being a former jarhead, I believe that’s a perfect pull up score on the Marine Corps PFT pull up portion. I’ll take it!
