How many pullups can an average person do?

The number of pull-ups an average person can do varies significantly based on factors such as age, sex, and fitness level. Here's a general overview:

• Men: The average number of pull-ups for men is around 8, though this can range from 3 to 5 for those who are less active or just starting out4. For men aged 18-30, a "good" performance is typically considered to be 4-7 pull-ups3.

• Women: On average, women can do fewer pull-ups than men, often managing just one or none at all if they are beginners4. However, with training, women can improve their performance significantly.

• Youth: For younger males, the number of pull-ups increases with age. For example, at age 10, the 50th percentile is one pull-up, increasing to three at age 13 and seven at age 172.

It's important to note that these are general guidelines, and individual performance can vary widely based on training and physical condition.
