Even at my strongest about 20 years ago, I could only do 5 or so to the front. I could however do sets of 10 with the triangle handle.  Cry

the two exercises that I was best at were chin/pullups and dips. I could do both for reps, and built up to doing dips with an additional 90 lbs of weight. I also would do pullups with 25 extra pounds.

Way back in the stone ages when I was a graduate student at the Univ. of Florida, I was also teaching a few undergraduate classes.

I would challenge the class-if anyone could do more pullups then me, I would give them an automatic A for the class. (as an undergrad I had a professor who was a ranked amature racketball player--he challenged the class, anyone who could beat him got an automatic A).

One time one of my students did 23 pullups....I managed to do 24...

Wide overhand grip 12 reps and with an underhand grip I can get 15 reps.  I did do dips yesterday with and extra #180 on my belt along with my own #210 for 3 full reps.  That is my main chest exercise now as I can no longer bench due to bad shoulders.

I could knock out dips like a banshee.

Pullups are brutal for me and I needed to use the leverage assist mechanism. Cry

Last time I did them Bw (250)+ 45 plate x 10.. I've done a few reps with 110, but it was hard to get the last part of the ROM. Negatives did BW+150 for 6..  Dips are way better..

I can't do one pull now, I did 10-15 all the time 40 years ago.

I can do cheating dip or two!

This is totally unbelievable dipping with ....390lbs ...I tried once to use 50bls with dips ...but I could not do a single rip....Of course there was a guy challenged me to do it...I failed. Embarrassed Sad

I can do 20 wide grip chins with full range of motion, chin over bar then all the way down. But I get the most out of not to wide a grip chins with palms facing me. Done the sameway as wide grip chins, but i can only get 14 or 15 reps this way.

I could do 23 reps at best (palms facing me), or 115lb hanging from my waist for 1 , or 66 pounds for 8 - all full extension to chin touching top of bar.

Now I don't do quite as much, but here are a few links from my You Tube stuff worth a look - all chin based videos, some a bit unusual!

I have witnessed Intenseman do dips 10 X bodyweight plus 245 on dips followed by a rapid 30 X bodyweight. I do not doubt his chins.

At age 46 I tried to beat LaLannes 27 palms forward  'full extension ' bodyweight chins. Record at the time. I failed at 25. I dipped bodyweight plus 90 X 10 at the time.

Today at 70 I dip bodyweight plus 75 pounds X 10 and chins limited to about 10 due to pain in left Brach/forearm.

 Lips Sealed
What about you guys?Huh??

Watch my little video clip here with chins and dips with 45 pound plates and 50 pound dumbells clamped between my legs, no chain or belt to hold them, full up and full down.

In my prime I did a single 170 pound dip using two 85 pound dumbells hanging on me, the biggest we had at the Ravenswood Y. Also was good back then for six full pull-ups with that 85 pounder between my knees.

And as always, no weenie partials...all the way up, and all the way down every time.

Here's a bit of it off a videocam:

Thanx, Frankie, but I just sort of copied Freddy Ortiz for the pull-ups when I read that he did them in an old Mr. America mag. I wanted his gigantic lat spread and the photos showed him doing weighted pullups...so naturally we all started doing them.

I also copied Marvin Eder when I saw him doing some ungodly dips with two guys hanging on him....I thought, "Man, that is way cool...", and like you said, strictly for hard core guys like the Irving Park, Duncan, and Ravenswood lifters!

Terry, if you would tune that Vet up a little it would start a lot faster.

It's still as hard to start as the first time I saw the video!
