I have lots of friends and co-workers who work out

And even amongst people who work out regularly, I would say less than 40% do pull-ups on a regular basis. It’s just not a common exercise for the majority of people who exercise regularly, let alone a large group of people that surf a sports Internet message board.

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

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".
