    Dillys idea of a pull up is pulling his pint off the table to his mouth.

    You get extra hunk points if you do it naked with a fully formed boner.

    The only thing you'll be pulling is a muscle Chitty or the attention of some big shithouse Polish woofta who will see you struggling and offer to spot you, gain your confidence then give you a good rodgering in the sauna , going in there pissed up on the morning after your "rest" day

    I just did 2.5 with a 10kg weight down my pants.

    The juice boys in the gym didn't know what the fuck was going on.

    I was going to ask about this before. What's the difference wrt the muscles used or the excersise's effect? How do you pull down your own weight? You'd have to tie your feet to the ground. (Genuine questions. I only went to a gym for a few weeks 25 years ago. I'm quite ignorant of the machines and jargon).

    Yes, that explains Chitty's "half weight". It's a good idea.

    The pull up is harder than the pull down!
    It's all about gravity
    That and the apparatus, ask Dill. ..he's an expert on the subject

    I screwed my pull-up/chin-up bar across the door with tinny little aluminium u-clamps.

    The 20 pull up club! Anyone wanna join?-bar-jpg

    However, since I only weigh 63 Kg, there is little chance of the clamps ripping out of the wooden frame.

    I can do about 10 proper pull-ups and 15 chin-ups.

    Easy when you have an adonis body like mine - no 20 Kg of lard-gut getting in the way...

    Don't worry about the screws coming out, it is the clamps that eventually will "jump off" the screws.

    If a "pullup" is something different than this "chin-up^", then I don't know what it is.
    I do them like the link above (chin-ups)
    Never been to a gym but there's a bar set up at the beach here in Phuket.
    I started almost exactly one year ago and could do 2.
    Now, I'm up to 8 on a good day (most days 7, some days only 5)
    My goal is 10 and I think in another year I ought to be able to do it.
    But 20?
    No way will I ever reach 20 in tis life.
    I see guys trying all the time and most of the muscle bound guys do sets of 10.
    There was a guy the other day who had a girl hang onto him and did 10 with her on board.
    I was impressed.
    She was a looker too.
