How many pull ups can an average person do?
I can do about 13-15…. Is that good,bad, average?
I heard some people say that an average person can do 20 pull ups. Is that true?

I am a girl & I can do about 10, which is considered impressive by most people, and assuming you are a guy, I think that would be a little better than average.
Hope I helped!

There is no way an average Joe off the street can do 20 pull ups.Probably like 2 or 3 at best. And yeah you can do a good number.
I think 15-25 is average for a young guy… when you get older you probably have more weight to deal with…
I don’t see why it really matters but, I can do an impress average of 1 pull up’s BOO YAA LOL
yep keep going !
I know more people who can barely get their chin above the bar than I do people who can do twenty straight. Personally I can get somewhere between 12 and 18 knocked out. 13-15 is good and I’m gonna say that the number of pull ups an average person can do is about one to five.
Hope this answered your question 8))
Well, define an average person.
To me, an average person is an adult working a 9-5 desk job. In that sense, I would say 0-1. Pull ups are really difficult, compared to other exercises. You’re essentially lifting dead weight equal to your weight. Not easy.
If you’re in school, the average is probably a lot higher because they make you focus on those things. Or if you strength train a lot, which the average person does not do.
Well it depends on your definition of pull-up, the further down you go the harder it is to get back up. Going down to a full extension (arms at 180 degrees) I can do about 5 and I’d consider myself right around average. 20 is waay too high to be considered an average for complete pull ups. In friendly pull-up competitions with friends I’ve seen way too many people not go down all the way and still count it. Sure, doing wimpy pull ups I could probably do about 15 or so.
chin ups (with your hands facing you) average is 10-20 for girls, 20-30 guys. Pullups with your hands facing away from you average is about 20 for guys, 10 for girls
