Pure curiosity. How many can you guys do?
Chinups as in the full set, not the 'cheating' chinups where you only come down halfway. Fully extended hanging position -> Chin over bar -> Back to fully extended hanging position -> Repeat Me, Pushups : 30 Chinups : 4 Lame yeah I know.  |

Nice, pullups are much harder than chinups so ur chinups must be a lot.

Pushups: 76
Chinups: 23 Pullups: 18 They're not wide-grip pullups, though. I can only manage about 10 or so of those.  |

yeah i guess it depends on what ur used to but generally pull ups are more difficult i think (based on the few articles i've read).
Doing the hundred pushups programme now (since i'm stuck for a few weeks with a sprained ankle, can't continue the stronglift  ) |
