post a picture and proof of 12 FULL RANGE pullups.

Do you think 12 reps at that bodyweight is really that impressive?

I've been training for a long time and I am naturally strong when it comes to pullups.

I'm nothing special.   ;)

Hard to believe you can't do a single chin at 18% bf.  Just start training with pulldowns, assist machine if available, and negatives like the guys already said.  You'll get 3 or 4 in not much more than a couple weeks I bet, then you're on your way.

Apparently (compared to you) I am something special. 

I don't view myself as a "beast" or super strong (especially when posting on a board full of lifters) but yes, I am bigger than the average guy.

Not everyone is 165 pounds, you know.  :P

Honestly, I'd just up the weight on barbell rows, high pulls, dumbbell rows, etc.... and keep practicing trying to get a real chin/pull-up till it happens.

I look at all the old lifters from the golden age of the sport(pl/ol) that where able to chin their asses off, and it's sad that today's lifters have to resort to such things as "fat man pull-ups".

If you have any sort of pulling power, you should be able to at-least knock out a set of body weight pull-ups.

No offense to the original poster, just some thoughts:).

I think he's fucking around.  You'd have to be 35-40%bf to be unable to do a single chin or pull up.

At 420 I could not even hold my bodyweight, so I was really surprised. I use to love these back in the 97 when I dropped off a ton of weight so now I'm back to doing them again.
