Is being capable of doing a lot of pull-ups a good way to impress people? I can do 16. How many more until it becomes a neat trick that people will think is impressive?

>The Guinness World Record for most pull-ups in 24-hours was 4,210, a pretty amazing feat. But, that record was trumped last week by over 100 pull-ups by 54-year old Mark Jordan. Jordan, from Corpus Christi, Texas, cranked out 4,321 pull-ups in 24-hours.

The record holder is Jan Kares (Czech Republic) who did 232 pull-ups in 36 minutes on 19 June 2010

Most normal people can't do more than 1-3. 16 is amazing to the average person
>>
nobody cares how many you can do. how much extra weight you can lift is all that matters

Okay. Good.

Do five pull ups and then a couple one armed one if you can that should be more than enough.

Where and when are you going to demonstrate your spectacular talent to the world?

10+ with strict form is impressive.

Flopping around like a fish for 30 reps impresses no one.

>>41588330
I don't know. I guess you got me there. I didn't really think that far.

34 roughly.

Yeah at one point I could do 20+ pull ups when I was younger but I had probably 30 pounds less of muscle and 10 pounds less of fat PLUS I wasn't going into a dead hang every time.

You can really pump up your pull up numbers if you neglect form.

Also if you weigh less pull ups tend to be easier. A lot of ectomorphs can knock out pull ups but what really impresses me is the 200 lb+ guys knocking em out.

If done correctly, observing proper form, then they are a great indicator of overall strength in proportion to body though.

If you're form is good then most normies will be impressed if you can do 3, if you really want to show off do the sideways ones, they are easy as fuck and looks more impressive then it is, also one handed ones.
