I can do 7 or 8. A little more if I've had a can of red bull.
How exactly am I supposed to do door frame pullups? Do you mean clench the top of the door frame with my whole hand or use both hands, vicelike?

Rock climbers could do those.
I think I might be able to do one, maybe two for the same reason Absane has trouble with them...the grip.
Back when I was on active duty/active reserve, I could do anywhere from 14-16 pull ups. I might be able to do 7 now.
Yes. It's called the supination type grip. The overhand grip is called the pronation type grip.
Overhand pull-ups on a bar with at least a 1.5 diameter are the easiest for me. The small diameter bars tend to hurt my hands more. I guess it's because of all my weight concentrated on a smaller surface area.
While the pronation grip requires a larger muscle group to be easy, it also goes through a shorter range of motion than the supination grip, which is a bit easier on your joints.
You have to do the pullups on your finger tips, which means curling you don't to actually hold anything in between finger and palm. It's sort of like clenching your fist, but you only bend your fingers at the first two joints, not at the knuckles.
[edit]
I was looking for a picture of a hand to show what I mean, and so much porn showed up, including erotic belly punching. "Never before have you seen a woman punched in the stomach so hard, yet love it so much!" Wtf.

Ooooh...that does actually sound like fun.
Personally, always liked the idea of cracking my victim's neck, then fucking the body...
Funny sort of door frame that you can do this on. What am I supposed to cling to?
Could you take a picture of yourself doing this so I can get the idea? (NO, I do not want to look at you for sexual reasons, so save it.)

I just realized what you meant.
I can do 3/4 of those, really hurts my forearms though.
