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

I guess it really depends on what we want to define as "basic" fitness. I would not feel confident in saying I was fit unless I could do at least 5 pullups.

well its based on what an unfit person could accomplish in 3 months with moderate exersise. I betat the start that person could do maybe 1 pullup. So after 3 months I think 5 would be the upper end of what could be accomplished. And I dont think they could do more than that unless the spent time actually training that.


heh, we need an unfit non overweight person to go do some pullups and report back how many you can do...volunteers? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
