1. Weird...

... I can do one, with my skinny arms! He's doing the easier, underhand lift... seems strange that he is struggling, with his knees raised, to do one pull-up.

3. Weighed down by all of that Botox filler, no doubt.

2. That's one helluva insecure human who has no business near the military. nt

4. Funny, but out of context and grossly misleading

That was the last pullup in a contest he was having with RFK Jr. He had done a large number of pullups before that and was struggling to do one more at the end.

8. I just checked out a video of that contest, and you are right, DD!

I guess I had heard late-night comedians making fun of that pull-up, and hadn't researched it.
Glad you found it funny, even though it was misleading.

5. Like a Girl!!! Tee hee hee.

And BTW, today's kids can do pull-ups better. Whether the "girl" way or the "boy" way.

6. If only there were a bottle on that bar to pull himself up to ....

9. Crossfit, right?

Isn't that how they do pull ups, with a crazy body swing?

10. That's not a pull-up, it's an attempt at a chin up....very different. Real pull ups are much harder

If yer palms are facing you are doing a chin up and you use a much different muscle group. Chin ups require much less strength than a pull up which means your palms are facing away from you, an over hand grip.
