23 pull-upS all in one hang session?!?! That’s awesome if so. Breaking them up into sets good too.Starting to up the moves; matched my last 25 year high with 23 pullups & 45 pushups before rucking 3.4 mile with a 32# pack. Completed the hike in 1 hour. Fast walking is the only way I can prep for the altitude and the mountains. Leaving in 3 days for the Wyoming camping/fishing/scouting trip.
Yup, that's in one shot, and all clean too. It was 20 pullups (not the so-called chin-ups that's more like a curl) to max out that portion of the Marine Corps physical fitness test. It took me a long time to get to that 20, but I have mostly been able to maintain that for the last 45 years. The average for 20 year old U.S. males used to be around 6, and females was 0. I would bet that today the male average would be way down as I can't believe the poor shape that most youngsters are in.23 pull-upS all in one hang session?!?! That’s awesome if so.

I can honestly say I dont think I could do one I've always been weaker in my upper body then in my legs.Yup, that's in one shot, and all clean too.

Have a good safe trip man enjoy your time out thereThis will be my last post here for a while. My wife and I are headed out early for Wyoming, then on to WA for some family time. It will be hard to be too strict on a diet while staying at someone else's house, but will likely be able to get in a couple hours of dog walking time each day. But, when still in WY, the Continental Divide trail runs right by the campground at Green River Lakes, so will do some more rucking at altitude before my overnight scouting trip. So far so good; healthy and uninjured. I will be trying out a few new pieces of gear to see if it's worth hauling up the mountain in Sept.
