We had to do 20 in the Marine corps for "full credit", so most of us did that or

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.

I learned a valuable lesson today

Medute

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