He's swinging some, but somehow I don't think they're nearly as easy as he makes them look.

Holy sh!t...
I tried doing one of those at the end of my gym workout today....
That guy can crush things with his forearms. I may have been able to do it fresh, but even then I wouldnt expect to be able to do more than 2 or 3, and certainly not that easily.

As it stands, I can do about 25 pullups. Havent done that many at one time yet, but I have worked sets of 20 without too much fatigue.

My uncle at age 45 would go under a doorway and do a pull up like that, then he would turn himself upside down. What amazed me is that the doorway didn't have much room after his 2nd index of his fingers. He was a skilled mountain climber for most of his life, maybe that's how he could have done it.

My daughter does those. It's part of her conditioning for Bars in gymnastics. I've watched her whole class do like 20-50 of them in a row one kid after another. All 8 to 16 year old grls.


Guy's, we gotta toughen up me thinks!

They say "Pound for Pound, Gymnasts are the strongest athletes in the world" I whole heartedly believe that too.

[EDIT]
Ok, my daughter says they never did more than 20. She says his form suck too. Knees not together, toes not pointed etc...
