SouthernBlueBlood

6/27/20 2:41pm

Realized I didn’t include my own answer 0

SouthernBlueBlood

6/27/20 2:42pm

Yeah, if people are going to answer honestly, we REALLY need that option.

Polls are never accurate on cougar board.

All of them

I respect that the kid was trying to make up for where our school systems have failed him. He clearly knew nothing about

Yeah, back in the day public school PE was just pumping out ripped athletes

0 before my mission, 7 dead arm pull ups when I got home, here's why.

ToasterChive

6/27/20 2:57pm

Pre-quarantine maybe 3.

El Careeb

6/27/20 2:59pm

I could maybe get to 10. 7 or 8 for sure

3-5 but double that if chinups. Yes my friends, I said double.

Pro Logic

6/27/20 3:02pm

100?!? Correctly done...ha ha.

coug10278

6/27/20 3:03pm

Very few people could even hang onto the bar long enough to do that many.

bluesloth

6/27/20 3:14pm

Slim does his 100 one-handed. Then he switches arms and does it again.

John Doe

I would bet my entire 401k that 40% of cb can’t do 10 or more pull ups.

SLC-Warrior

6/27/20 3:06pm

My guess is that >80% of posters who voted 10 or more haven't actually attempted

LiveCoug

And pullups decrease fast if you aren't doing them regularly

Almost 2

We talking in one set or in multiple sets?

We talking multiple sets in multiple days, weeks or months?

Pre shutdown: ~18, now: no idea.

Spocougar

6/27/20 3:17pm

I’m genuinely surprised they let that slide in the marines

Slim

6/27/20 3:33pm

Yeah my sons both had to fully extend, chin above, and straight leg

USMCdad

6/27/20 3:40pm

Me too

Spocougar

6/27/20 3:41pm

Some of what I’ve read is that fully extended is not good for health.

The last time I tried a pull up was gym class in high school. I think I did

Harbinger

6/27/20 3:33pm

Exercise.... fad? What do you mean?

Slim

6/27/20 3:34pm

This fad where you try to get ripped as if it does you any real good.

Harbinger

6/27/20 3:38pm

More than a few hours a week at the gym is not taking it too far. An hour a day of exercise is not excessive. Don’t be

Slim

6/27/20 3:41pm

If you have an office job sure, an hour is fine. If you're otherwise active

Harbinger

Unless your job involves actual difficult manual labor I don’t agree. I get over 10k steps per day just on my feet for

Slim

What's your definition of "staying healthy"

Harbinger

6/27/20 4:01pm

Preventing heart disease, type II diabetes, maintaining a healthy weight and looking like you care about yourself

Slim

6/27/20 4:04pm

I don't have to do almost any exercise for all of that. Genetics FTW.

Harbinger

6/27/20 4:24pm

You go girl

WDaddy

6/27/20 4:36pm

Many girls do wish for my genetics.

Harbinger

6/27/20 4:36pm

They want moobs?

CommodoreCoug

They want my bmi while not working very hard for it. Aka my genetics.

Evidence suggests 30 minutes of aerobic exercise daily is sufficient.

No, I'm not a chip person. I'm a sugary beverage person.

Harbinger

In any given week I’m at the gym 7-10 hours.

DKN

6/27/20 3:46pm

Why?

Harbinger

6/27/20 3:48pm

Why not? Some people enjoy fishing, others reading, I enjoy going to the gym and picking up and putting down heavy stuff

DKN

6/27/20 3:53pm

But why? Why at the gym? What's the goal? Just enjoyment? What leads to that

Dieting is taking fitness too far??

Alpi Gusto

No. But lots of diets take dieting too far. That was my point. All these are

Harbinger May have taken it a bit too far, but I think he has a point. Many

And at no point did I say it was wrong. Just odd to me.

Harbinger

3-5 maybe. They’re hard to do unless you train for them.

Should’ve had an option between 10 and 20. That’s a big jump in pullups with

Also, the jump from 20 to 40 is too large. I did 26 this morning.

Oh wow that’s high. I didn’t even notice the 20 to 40 jump because I’m not to
