Damn, dawg, your brother is STRONG. That him in the latter part when he was younger?
[quote=rknine15]I change it often depends on how I feel, some exercises I do are:
front pull downs with cable machine - 3 sets of 8
rear pull downs with cable machine - 3 sets of 8
cable machine rows - 3 sets of 8
rows with resistance band - 3 sets of 8
dumbbell rows - 3 sets of 8
lower Back extensions with exercise ball - 5 sets of 8
variety of pull ups - 5 sets of 8
shoulder shrugs - 3 sets of 10
bicep curls and hammer curls - 5 sets of 8
I usually end with some basic back and shoulder stretching for the extra flexibility[/quote]

Nah thats some kid from the playground. He basically made every kid in the town a street workouter. He also used to practise parkour but he stopped this year ( and thank god for that, its pointless and you could easily broke a leg doing it )

And im not sure if stuff like this helped him or its just genetics but he grew like 20 cms in 2-3 years

"his back looks like Satan"
LOL @ that youtube comment about Statham
I don't have access to a pull up bar and haven't in years, so I am unsure, but probably roughly 10. In my peak, I could do 30+ easily. 50 maybe?

And if you don't belong to a gym, is there a park nearby? You could probably find one there.

lol, I'm not going to a park just to see how many pull ups I can do, and I'm too poor to pay for a gym membership. I'm surviving off of using the couple hand weights I have, pushups, and running outside.
Not sure. I would hope I could do at least one:lol

Door frame pull-up bars are sturdy and reliable as hell.
You should get one. A good addition to your guerilla gym endeavors.
come on man you could do pullups on basically anything- on a tree, on a basket hoop, on a soccer goal post... hell you can do on your door at home

I've thought about getting one before. I'm in no hurry, but I may get one. Still, I'm certainly not getting one just to find out my max.

It's not about finding out your max. :lol
I wasn't expecting you to go to a park just to find out how many you could do for that one time only. It's the fact that pull-ups are so vital of an exercise to have in your regimen. One of those that hit many muscles and trigger growth hormone into your system.
I've been sleeping on them myself for a long time and am seeing tremendous all-around physical improvement just from doing them regularly again whenever I strength train.
I do 10 a day so 3650
