When I was in 9th grade my gym teacher challenged me to do 30 pull-ups

If I did them then class was cancelled and I got a shake. If didn’t then no big deal. I thought it would be easy and I was doing really well. I got to 29 and I could only pull halfway up on the last one. There was nothing I could to get the last one. I still had gym class that day.

These days, maybe I could do one.

No way 43% of CB does pull ups regularly

The poll is not a random sample.

How long is a while, how often is regularly?

I do pullups 2-3 times a week. And a lot of the guys on my FO also workout regularly.

I'd still bet on most being fat couch sitters.

Then maybe pullups should be added as a "do" in the WoW. If they get CBers and

Probably because you work with a lot of weaklings or Yewts. Or both.

Yep, that’s usually how people refer to people in the military

I learned a valuable lesson today

Medute

Honestly, it seems weird to me to think anyone who works out doesn't do pullups.

It's spelled 'gainz'. Duh. Do you even lift, bro?

But it's obviously not 40% of CBers. Its 40% of poll respondents. Particularly weak people and Yewts may have simply not

I do pull ups twice a week. 3 sets of 15 each time. And I know quite a few

It might be that 40% of those willing to answer here actually do...

That wasn't the question. The question was ''Can you do a pullup?". A, as in one pullup.

But look at the answers in the poll.

Yes, ONE - if you count the jump momentum on the first "pullup".
