Standards for Male, age 30 (30-39 age group). Rep counts are derived from the same linear scoring equation used on training results.
Start from a complete dead hang with arms fully extended, hands gripping the bar slightly wider than shoulder-width. Engage your core and pull your body up with controlled movement until your chin clears the bar. Lower yourself with control back to a full dead hang. Each rep must be completed with full range of motion—full extension at the bottom and chin over the bar at the top. Avoid swinging, kipping, or using momentum to assist the movement.
- Start from a complete dead hang on every rep.
- Pull your chin over the bar with controlled movement.
- Lower yourself with control—don't drop down.
- Engage your core to prevent swinging or kipping.
Your pull ups are measured in reps (strict, dead hang). A preliminary score is generated with the linear equation y = mx + b, where x is your number of reps, and m is set so the max estimated reps for your age range and gender maps to 100 points. The minimum is 0 reps. For male ages 30-39, the estimated max is 31 reps, so m = 3.18 and b = 0.

The final score uses a curved calculation that heavily favors new athletes and makes reaching 100 extremely challenging even for exceptional performers. The curve is designed to provide significant scoring boosts at lower performance levels, encouraging participation and improvement. However, achieving the maximum score of 100 requires near-perfect performance across multiple attempts. The formula applies a power curve: Final Score = 100 × (Preliminary Score / 100)^0.45
