Push-ups roughly 100 before muscle fartigue sets in
Dips: ? Last time it was 30.
Pull ups: 40

Keep in mind I weigh 160-165

wide grip with the ends cambered (i know you said only straight) I have one of those dip/pull up/ab bars at my place.

And I'll go on record that they are speed reps, not all the way down, but not "Nasser style" either.

Morning time or mid day, with preferably with gloves.

Have you heard of the Bar-barians? They train on parallel and horizontal bars among other stuff. To become a barbarian you have to do the following in under 6 mins with perfect form:

5 muscle ups
45 dips
25 pull ups (overhand and wide grip chest to bar)
55 push-ups
5 muscle ups

I've seen successful video attempts on YouTube and these guys find it hard going to bust out 25 pull ups, so 40 is very decent!

:D

Typical Getbig Response:  "I can do 265 for 20 on the bench press but I can only manage around 25-32 pushups, maybe less."






Haha yes

Getbiggers evidently comprise the top 0.1% elite of the world when it comes to reps of 225 on bench.

I think many of dudes, without doing any exercises before could bust out 50+ pull ups. Strict ones...Hannibal especially...
Those dudes could easily do at least 60 speed rep pull ups.

BTW, has anybody heard a clicking noise in their shoulder joint when doing pull ups?

I remember when I first got into training, it was after watching a Bruce Lee flick...my goal was to do press ups on just my thumbs like I saw in his photos...so I dropped literally all my bodyfat (about 40 pounds) and would do them everyday...lost count of how many I could do, probably triple what an average gymrats normal press ups are. It would always be my "party trick"...true story  :)

there is member on here who doesn't most that much, his name is Calesthetics King, and he has vids on YouTube, which he has posted here. He tends to do push ups---and does odd versions, including handstand push ups...his body control is crazy!
Hannibal inspired me, and someday I want to get to his level (with practice)...it's healthier to look like that than it is to look like almost any competitive Bber.

no thanks bro, I'd rather not blow my shoudler doing shitty crossfit reps to try to get some arbitary number

I can do about 12 perfect form pullups, full ROM

Dips, who knows with BW but I did a dip with 6 plates (270lbs) a few months ago.

I do ring pushups at the end of my chest day and get a few sets of 10, slow as possible trying to squeeze the pecs. Awesome exercise

As I said, not a difficult feat to build up to. Good routine doing it daily though lol you never know if there's any muscle bears in the woods and you gotta be pumped and prepared! ;D

I had a friend played high school football and wrestled, and had a bodybuilder looking physique and after him claiming and me LOL and arguing he did 50 STRICT (touched the floor with far shoulder and locked out every rep) one arm push ups. Actually he did like 53 cuz it was a bet for money and I tried to jokingly cheat him a few reps, but he did them fair and square. Anyone else here cam or saw anyone else able to do that?!?

Never seen the point of one-armed pushups.

30 real pull ups
50 dips no problem
100 push ups for 2 sets after my chest workout for pump and failure
I am 165-170 at 46 yrs young.
I laugh at these young cross fit guys at the gym with their shitty dips and pull ups.
