even if you are 170 when wet and have some of the shortest arms i've ever seen on a grown man that's unbelievably impressive
i kid
good work.
i think i could have probably done no more than 15-20 in my prime of pull up prime (the teens // very early 20's,) and i was that guy in the weight room that everybody would ask "yo can you spot me on this next set, bro?"
if i wanted to create the perfect pull up machine i'd probably take a failed rock climber. somebody without the length of a world class climber, but somebody who is completly boiled down instead of built up.
when i was in the 220's and lifting heavy weight i could do literally half the pull ups i could do when i was 17 years old and a year round athlete. maybe less.
i suppose when you're lifting weights you're looking to work muscles, and not simply go for numbers, so it's possible that i could have done more.
i'd warm up with five or ten with a wide grip and feel like i was working hard. slow on the way down and then right back up quick. i was really just trying to shake the cobwebs out and take some pressure off my lower back by being weightless for a period, not really to get in hard work.
ten pull ups is honestly a lot
i'd be shocked if the average guy on bscene can do ten flippin pull ups.
