Pull ups- How good are you?

Thanks to Simon Worsnop for this link to a page dedicated to feats of strength on pull ups. This followed our conversation on the need for finger, forearm, grip and pulling strength for rock climbing.  Young athletes from all sports are notoriously weak in their upper body (more tree climbing needed), but then spend time on bicep curls in the gym.

S&C coaches could do worse than set an example on pulling strength and challenge their athletes to do the same- the pull up bar doesn’t take any prisoners.
