Just to do a survey here. How many standard pullups can you people do at one go? Notwithstanding, the legendary 60 pull-ups challenge between Senzaki and Ikezawa in the Umizaru:Revolution series, is there anyone that can even hit the 50 mark?
It is all just in the mind.

60? movie only right? but i really have a friend that used to do 50 pullups in one sitting during army. but now he's a father and has become a regular sedentary family guy.

I have read somewhere that the Guinness record was 2000 odd chin-ups!!! but i doubt thats done consecutively without dismounting.

i can do zero. but i girl mah. not going to add to the poll. Some of you guys should try to do 30 or 40 and take a video clip post online!!!! 20 seems to be quite common for male paddling athletes hor.

double confirm, its norm for the veteran paddlers to be able to hit 40 if they are fresh... Nautilus, you need to up your challenge  :lol:
