Re: Lets come up with a test of basic fitness.
[ QUOTE ]
when I first started rock climbing I could do 2 pullups, after 2 months I could do 5. Which is why I figured that would be a good number. I was in better shape that average at the start but they also were semi fingertip pullups (it wasnt on a bar, so hand didnt wrap around) so I figure that would offset.
reading some responses and thinking about it more, I think 5 is a little high, especially since most people never use those muscles really in day to day activities
[/ QUOTE ]I guess I don't understand what it is you're trying to establish here. Are you wanting to figure out how much of _______ an average dude can do? Or to establish some sort of baseline fitness for a reasonably in-shape adult male? Because three pullups doesn't meet that standard.
