Before we all get into a major row, remember that the OP is asking about chin-ups (despite calling them pull-ups).
Please note that there is no generally accepted definition of "pull-up" vs "chin-up".
Thank you.
Please note that YES there is a definition of pull-up and chin-up.
Pull-ups = palm facing away from you
chin-up = palm facing you
I can do 15 proper ones, no kipping (ugh). 105, 41 year old female.

Please note the difference between "definition" and "generally accepted definition".
If that is too much for your small brain to comprehend try starting with something simpler - perhaps try to understand the difference between the number "2" and the color "orange", something like that.

Can't believe they gave the record to the Russian joker who did 59.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ym6-8s4ZsOEMine were full lockout and no cheesy beard.
I'm the only one not to leave the bar for the full minute.
Training for a legit 2 minute world record (72) in May. Yep, can dismount from bar during the attempt , for multiple sets if needed
WTF is that video? Those are terrible!!!
I know! I guess they are allowing that he did have full lockout and I know there is a second camera angle on bar for chin, which is debatable with the beard! His arms are so wide that he doesn't even achieve a 90 degree angle most times, not too mention some sort of straps on his hand. NOT my idea of a pull up- there should be a width maximum (85% of elbow to elbow- measured behind back). Whatever, I'll try the 2 minute WR and have fun with it.

When you run, try not moving your recovering leg forward before you're off the ground! Otherwise it helps your takeoff leg and that's cheating. Keep it behind your takeoff leg until airborne, then move it forward. Proper.
You are an idiot
The majority don't do pullups at all. Their exercise value is a couple notches above arm curls at best.

22 (palms away, the other way hurts my elbows), 180. Full range of motion pull ups.
Ditto on doing palms away since the other way hurts my elbows.
I've done 25 with pretty good form, probably weighing 185-190 then. Used to start all my workouts with a set of 20, and more recently started doing pyramids down (usually try 12-down in under 15 minutes but have done 13-done and then maxing out at 14 right after).
