why?? do you think 60 and 70 year olds suddenly shouldnt be able to move their bodyweight through space?

you think that because its uncommon and people are fricking weak, they its not possible? because you are wrong, like really wrong.

50s isnt old dude. it only feels old because you are used to being sedetary and are extremely weak

yea very doubtful you can do pullups. the #1 thing with getting better at pullups is lack of bodyfat. 2nd is practicing pullups.

lets put it this away 90% of people who have not performed a pullup in more than a year, will not be able to perform a pullup, especially if they have a dad bod aka 25% + bodyfat in most cases. 20%+ for sure.

They'd jump on the bar, pull to about 6 inches below their chin, and then start flailing like a fish to offset gravity, and then maybe, MAYBE be able to get their chin over the bar.

I was going to type a long reply, and then simply landed on this.

How old, (approximately) are you?
