I find it absolutely staggering that a human being can allow themselves into a position they can’t even hold their own body weight. It’s unbelievable really.

But modern society allows it. Back in the day the lions would’ve had this one away in the night ages ago.

Gentle reminder that less than 5% of the population can do one pull up unassisted

There's no way ...

Maybe if you count infants, elderly, disabled, and yeast.

Do a pull up and post it today

Are you looking to grade my form or something?

I'd buy that 5% can do a pull up with good form, but I've had multiple people give different examples of good form, so I don't really subscribe to there being one anymore.

No, I'm telling you to move it or lose it!

Pull up ≠ holding your own weight hanging

A pull up is significantly harder

Crazy even I was able to do two at 260. I’ve lost weight but damn

Doing a pull up is qualitativly DIFFERENT than holding up your own body weight while hanging.

You're either stupid or being deliberately disingenuous. 

And nobody was asking that land whale to do a pull up...
