I doubt you can, if you never exercise.

Starting from a complete dead hang, elbows straight. and get your chin above the bar?


Yes easily. Maybe some of you have a physical condition?


I bet you can do 6-8 "pull-ups"

But I bet you jump up to the bar. And don't come to a dead hang. And just barely get your eyebrows over the bar.

I'm sure most of your pull-ups would actually be no-reps



I’d bet this person and a lot of people on this thread are talking about chin ups. I can do a bunch of chin ups but not a single pull up.


Yes, that's a good point.

A person that doesnt workout just can't simply hop up to the bar and do a strict pull-up.

They may be able to do a chin up though

Start with chin ups first, because they're a lot easier. Then do neutral grip. Then progress to pronated grip for full pullup.
