None. Not even one. Beat that suckers!
OP
In multiple sets. Max is 12.
26 in a session is not possible for me yet. I have a penchant for bodyweight exercise.
Woh 26 pullups is good...I cant do even 1
Naah, max is 12
Anyway, guys I thought it would be nice to have a record of total no. of pullups. It will keep me determined. I hope others will too try it out and make it as an indispensable part of their workout.

10 pull ups + 10 Chin ups - Does that count as 20?
OP
15 Pullups today
Total= 26+15 = 41
Chin up is easier and requires different set of primary muscles.
I am counting only widegrip for my count. Anyway you should be able to do widegrip if you can do standard pull ups. Remember 1 repetition is done from dead hang pulling yourself up till your chin is above the bar and then go down to the dead hang position again.

I can manage if I start with wide front pullups. I go like this.
standard pushups > standard pullups > military pushups > standard chinups > wide hand pushups > close grip pullups > diamond pushups > close grip chinups > pushups (name i forgot) > pushups with legs at a higher position.
After that I am supposed to go for wide hand pullups/chinups but my hands give up. So have to use machine.

^^should start with Pull Ups first. Try doing push ups on one leg and medicine ball push ups.
Btw Military press and pull ups combo works awesome. Because you will be using antagonistic muscles and that gives you even more power doing pullups. Take enough rest in between.

I am kind of following P90X so it has push ups first. But yes, pullsup get a lot harder after pushups. Might try the other way around. Btw, you drink Soy milk? What company? I tried Godrej Natural Flavor. It tastes awful. Smells horrible. I can't stand it. The one from some other brand costs Rs. 200 and this one costs Rs. 75. I didn't go for a flavoured one because of sugar. :\
