Dips/chins ratio

[exter]

I think I have a serious imbalance doing 6 full ROM dips and only 1 chin-up (I was more focused on the bench and the press and not very much on the deadlift and power clean as I constantly took weight off due to form problems).
Many people I know of can do a few chin ups and not a single dip.
Just to establish a comparison , how many chins and dips can you perform ?

9 Chinups and 8 dips.

If trained relatively equally, most people can do more dips than chin-ups. Dips are a shorter range of motion and use about the same, if not more overall muscle mass. I remember back in high school years ago I did 33 dips and at the time only 15 chin-ups. I don't do dips much anymore but could probably do about a third more dips than chin-ups now. 6 to 1 is a bit imbalanced, but at such a low number it is probably not that significant. Once you can do 10 chin-ups, the difference probably won't be as great.

35 dips. 17 Chin Ups. 1 set max.

I can do BW + 90lbs on the dip for 5x5. Chin ups BW + 70lbs x 6.

Generally the pressing musculature develops much faster and farther than the pulling muscles (at least for the upper body).

You should be around 2 to 1, dips to chins.

You should be around 2 to 1, dips to chins.

Thats where Im at as well. Seems normal based on others experience.

Yep, same case for me.

My brother who doesnt train at all, is a bit of a fatty so he can do zero chins, not even partials, cannot even grip the bar. Yet he can knock out around 6 full range dips no problem.

I can do around 12 dips and 10 chins.

When I was completely detrained, I could still do maybe 4-5 chins. But dips? No way. Now that ratio is more like yours, about 10 chins and 11-12 dips. But it took a LONG time before the dips "caught up". I have long arms and pulling exercises have always come more natural to me compared to pushing. Same with deadlift and bench. Deadlifting has alway been rewarding, because progress came relatively easy. Benching has always sucked, because progress is stalling all the time.

Last time I maxed out it was with pull-ups and it was 30 pull-ups and 27 dips, but I did the dips right after the pull-ups.
