50 pullups a day is overtraining. The arms would hurt the 3rd or 4th day. Best to allow your body to rest |
There's many other factors not being mentioned...if the person in question is significantly overweight...then yeah 50 pullups may be a bit much...but I'm not saying to do 50 pullups in one set...just 50 for the day....so 5 sets of 10 reps...or for beginners...10 sets of 5 reps...or he could even do one at a time...just to get in the rhythm...
I can assure you 50 pullups for an entire day is absolutely intermediate...and a good start for someone trying to begin a regimen worthwhile.
I was up to 1000 pullups a day...starting with 50 a day by 2 weeks...and getting them done in under 2 hours.
But again...listen to your body. You want to do whatever you can until FAILURE. Make sure to keep a log...whatever you reach...try to do at least 3-5 more the next day.
