think if you set your mind to it, you could get 50 pullups?

hell no. to increase your strength that much you'd have to go up in weight, which means you'd be pulling more lbs....which means your strength would have to increase exponentially to your weight.
asian guy i work with, about 50 yrs old, can knock out 50 pullups without giving it much effort.
real deal pullups all the way down, he stops at 50 but he could easily get 70-80 maybe even a bill.
amazing imo

I have gotten pretty fuggin low on BF and I could never do more than 20.
More a function of fiber type than muscular strength. You'd need a preponderance of fast twitch fibers in your bis and lats.

More like you have to be short as hell and be pretty skinny!
No way the guy is over 6ft tall!(I'm 6'1) No fucking way!!!
Pulling my long ass arms up is way more work than some 5 4' dood.

meh, guy is about 5'10ish...jacked skinny, kinda built like bruce lee.
a freak...typa guy who won't run for months on end and when he finally goes for a run he can blaze consecutive 6 min miles and smoke bros 30yrs his junior.
and i'm good for about 25-30 clean pullups at the same height

the dudes that are built like light bulbs (chicken legs) can do lots of pullups.

Not over 6 foot, but pretty close. Short ass arms for 5 10' guy then. Way harder to bench or do pull ups when you have long arms.
I've seen a video of Konstanovis (275lb powerlifter) do 55 pull ups. Quite impressive imo.

Back in the day I could get 18 out no problem but never made it to 20. My abs would cramp up at 19.
Now I can do half that on a good day and I'm happy with that.
... little old broad that I am.

best ive done was 37 back when i was 18 in marine corp basic. those were the nonstrict type where you fling your chin over the bar any way you can and it counts for a rep. still tough to do a lot or reps though but i was lighter back then and much more energy than now (34).
yea those were the pullups we did in the marines, way back before they were called kipping or crossfit or anything trendy lol.

isn't it the opposite? I thought you would need alot of slow twitch endurance fibers for that sort of thing.
great form to get maximum number of reps. Starts the move by contracting his abs powerfully enough to yank his legs upward. Then perfectly times the upward motion of his legs with the arm pull so the leg momentum is able to really aid the pullup. Dude's got some really strong abs.
i would say that guy has this whole pull up thing covered.

to say that I am not unimpressed is a serious understatement....never seen a dude that big do something endurance oriented like that. That's SICK!! sub 200 pound men would struggle with half that many reps. What are the rest of this dudes strength numbers....you know?
Define 'good' first.
Superset 20 of those with 20 pushups and 20 air squats nonstop for about 5 minutes then ask that again...after you push your lung back down your throat.
Yep. His torso stays perfectly perpendicular to the bar and he's not using any momentum at all. That's pure lat and bi strength/endurance.
Goddamn
Well....They might not be strict dead hang pull ups, but I'm not seeing too many 275+ pound bodybuilders/athletes/powerlifters doing what he did in the video.
True. You're not going to develop a set of wings repping like that but crossfit is more about muscular endurance than putting on size.

not a chance
Not only can it be done (certainly not by me) it has been done in under a minute:
Guinness World Records - Adjudications - Most chin-ups in one minute

and he deadlifted 835 pounds without even a belt..........that's fucked. THat's really fuckin fucked...........son of a bitch!
look behind him, sick amount of weight on the squat bar.
i wonder if he was doing some disgusting supersets w/the deads.

look at the dudes legs....his lower body is like 1/5th his upper. If he was doing super's with those weights I just want to quit lifting, holy fuck.
seems like the big youtube dead vids i've seen (ronnies, this one, various others) the beasts doing them are using terrible form, pretty much a str8 leg dl when it's not meant to be.
how do they not blow their backs out?

I don't think Ronnie's was a straight backed as this dude. And ronnie used a belt. This dude pulling this with no belt is absafuckinglutely ridiculous.

Simple it's too much weight to keep a straight back and they train the motion this way specifically. The method shortens the range of motion and utilizes the most power. Check out Andy Bolton's 1,000+ lb pulls and they are done with exactly the same form. It's how all the big conventional dlers pull.
