Very few men over 25 can do 10 real pull ups. Full extension that is.

Saying you can do 15 or more is equal to saying you run a 4.5 or less. Sure, some guys can but the overwhelming majority cannot.

I can currently do about 15 chin-ups. What is a reasonable goal?

Anything over 10 is great so just see what you can get to now.

15 is good. I would try increasing range of motion and doing full muscle ups

I started at 5 with a bar in my closet. I do them at night and in the morning.

We found doing pull ups is kind of like running.

15 is enough, set a squat goal now

you are too light. Need to put on some weight to make it harder.

I use a belt to hang 45-90 additional lbs when I do my pull ups for this reason
