3 dead hang pull ups puts you ahead of 90% of people in a GYM, let alone an "average person"

Yea that's kind of mind blowing when you think about it.
I would say 90% of the general male population cannot do more than 5 pullups.

Nobody does dead-hang pull-ups lmao. Bunch of 90°cels with the lack of range in the gym. People don't do anything correctly.

I mean I could do max 21 pullups at age 17 when I was around 135lbs. Fast forward now, 195lbs and can manage maybe 12 pullups max. That chit ain't easy, but I know skinny boys who don't even workout who can buss out around 6 pullups if I asked them too.

The average guy is like 40lbs overweight and doesn’t lift so not a chance

If you take the average from a lower age (like 20-30) I’d still bet money majority can’t

I'd say at least 40% of males (above the age of 18) in the US are not able to do 3 dead hang pull-ups.

Yup, I see so many half repped pullups. One time this ******* mogged me doing like 15 half pullups while I did 10 full ranged pullups. Even pushups, people don't go all the way down and up, they do the most half assed pushups ever. Do full range pushups and youll do half the amount you could usually do.

This. 100%. 1000%. NYHRC, LVAC, Planet Fitness, Blink Fitness, who cares. No one does dead hang pull ups.

Oh and the answer is no.

Partial reps are awesome for getting a pump. But i generally like to hit the range of the rep where it is most difficult. Obviously i wouldn't be showing off how many partial reps i can do. But i'm never interested in what people are doing around me..
I could make a gym idiots thread and post new videos every day of the idiot of the day.

This.

Bench press is always the most hilarious of all cheat reps. Although pull ups aren't too far behind.

It depends. Does the person do physical labor or not? If the person has a desk job and has no other physical activities then no.
