Default Re: Lets come up with a test of basic fitness.

[ QUOTE ]
5 full-extension pullups would basically require being really skinny or lifting.

[/ QUOTE ]This is false.

Are you looking for something that you're trying to train to, or something that any regular "in-shape" guy could do today?

If you're not fat and have the upper-body strength required to simply not be disadvantaged in every day life, you can absolutely build up to doing ten pullups, probably in less than a month.
