Hahaha GLN! I am probably about 220 right now, am am nowhere near as bulky as that guy. And no, I can't do 55 pull-ups straight. My record for dead-hangs was 39, and that was when I was 190 pounds and focused on them. I hate pull-ups, and only do them because they are HIGHLY functional.

Pullups are even a staple for powerlifters as you can see with that konstatin vid. They truly are "functional", whether your function is deadlifting a lot, or pulling yourself up through a bedroom window.

Yes that and "box jumps" outside of Kung Fu.

I'm not saying Raiff is small lol. I'm saying that guy in the video looks as if he's 275-300lb [though I may be completely wrong as it's difficult to guess weight/muscle] - and Raiff [at 220lb] said somewhere that he was doing 100 pull-ups with a 45lb weight tied to him. Based on how hard I struggle with pull-ups and what I see the Arnold's at my gym do, what Raiff is able to do is in-fvcking-credible - freak-of-nature-ish.
