At the moment I'm doing 1 set of 8 pullups followed by 3 or 4 sets of 8 chinups, changing grip position for every set, starting from wide grip and finishing with pinkies touching. I weigh 88kg, so that's about 195 pounds.
Never really did a single set of max reps, just picked a number when I started and increased reps 'n sets. When it gets to 10 I'll be adding weights to keep the reps low.
I despise wasting time on lots of reps. It's boring and there's no benefit in working the slow twich fibres on upper body.
Legs on the other hand, I reckon there's a benefit in being able to run for longer...
And there's my whole philosophy on training. It's got to be functional.
