Pull Up's/Chin Up's PLEASE ANSWER FREE 10 Points!?!
Question: Okay I've read in a few books and on the internet, people who can do pull ups are not overweight; and in shape. I've heard this, they say its a good way to prove fitness, because if your overweight it's supposably impossible to do a pull up no matter how strong your arm's are. Is this true? if you can please add a little detail...

no that is not absolutely true. i know many overweight wrestling buddies that have no prob doing a chin up. but if u can do 10-20 true chin ups then u are sitting pretty well. but as to it being impossible, its possible
you can still be overweight and do pull ups
lol, you can be overwieght and do a pull up. and i am a girl and can do some....so that fact was wrong.
yea I weigh 205 and bench 315, I can about 20 pullups
my bro is almost 300 benches around 470, he most definately cant do any
"a guy who can do 10 overhand chinups can consider himself one strong guy pound for pound"
if you can do chin/pull ups it just proves that you have upper body strength and iv'e seen big guys do them
