Screw the 10 pull ups, those are easy. 10 pull ups in an L sit, fucking A.
MasonTheNosam
Whats an L sit? Is that what she was doing?
applesforjuice
Put your feet out directly in front of you, like she did. Gives you an extra ab workout
FreeDadvice
Was going to say this. The added abdominal stress makes it much more impressive. I can do knees out pretty easily, but a full L is hard as hell.

Nobody was surprised

I’m not turned on, you are

Those Marines certainly are.

When i tried it they demanded straight legs no bending
W0lfsbl00d
Were your legs perfectly still, or were you using some small leg/ab thrust for extra momentum?
AgainstMethod
Bending isn't cheating if you're legs don't move.
Morpheaus
Bending isn't cheating at all. If you're kicking to thrust yourself up on every rep, then you're just doing poor pull ups, but bending your legs does not functionally reduce the workload on your shoulders and back.
mmmerf1
I am fairly certain that I couldn't keep my legs out in front of me that long, let alone while doing chin-ups. But, can she... um... nevermind, she almost certainly can.
Dinwiddie
Holding an "L" like this is more difficult than having the legs straight down or bent backward at the knee.
pyroshen
The legs were straight. The hips were just bent
Manusho
You don't have to be straight to be in the military anymore.
SecondSince
No bending though!
Nanoline
Give it a couple months 🥲
sqeewew
what about just my legs
Puolitettupuolituttu
After the third they're not even pretending not to be impressed.
Schlumpfi
I can do that, too! By "that" i mean stand around and count to 10. Well, at least I can stand around. Or let's say "sit around" if there's a chair nearby. And I woudn't snore. At least not very loud.
bushpotato
I expect no less from the King of Curses.
insaneinthehalfbrain
"Not bad," my ass, it's freaking badass!
4etherling
As ex military it is only "not bad" in the realm of PT active duty does. It's not an insult. It is just what you would expect someone to be capable of at an entrance level.
BishlamekGurpgork
When some people say 'not bad,' I know they're not very impressed. When other people say 'not bad,' I feel good about it for weeks because I know I genuinely surprised them.
Lampmonster
With some people it's like a Vulcan calling you 'adequate".
raftus
Growing up that was a compliment in my family
W0lfsbl00d
Look at his constant and nonstop reactions. He's thoroughly impressed...
Beelsebooob
I mean, freaking badass is "not bad" in the marines.
Morpheaus
That's because the marines are losers.
GhostBear3067
Found the Army POG.
Morpheaus
Service members are generally losers. It doesn't matter what branch you are.
kwyjiboner
I don't get why they're surprised; the person is obviously in great shape
Porfirij
i consider myself to be in good shape. do sports regularly, eat relatively healthy, no excess weight, even some muscle tone - but i sure as hell couldn't even dream of doing THAT, lol. it's impressive AF to me - even though you're right about her obviously looking like she's in great shape.
applesforjuice
I consider myself in terrible shape, worst shape of my life. haven't done any sports regularly, eat terribly, not active. I can do this. I tried it right after I watched. I can't stretch my legs out perfectly straight but I never could even in high school when I did 25-30 in a row whenever I walked through my door. It's impressive but I don't see why people are overexaggerating it so far. She's obviously in amazing shape, but 10 chin ups isn't that hard
Porfirij
she's doing clean pull-ups though, not chin-ups, which are generally considered more challenging. thumb over the grip too. that said, 10 good chin-ups is still pretty nice for someone who considers themselves out of shape, and 25-30 clean chin-ups is also impressive - at least to me. :)
applesforjuice
Ok, pull ups, idk the difference. I set my grip the way she did.
Porfirij
well you've got a strong back and arms then, good sir. i find pull-ups rather difficult, so i am impressed that you can do 10 just like that - while considering yourself out of shape no less...
AgainstMethod
They don't seem surprised.

I went to the auto show in Detroit, the marines were there with a rock climbing wall. I shot up the thing so fast they're mouth were open. They're like "dude! Have you ever considered joing the marines?"
"Sorry guys, I'm Canadian. We can all do that." Lol got a good laugh
WaffleProfessor2
That's the point of the rock climbing wall and they would say that to anyone that did even remotely well.
sqeewew
which this guy did, and should be proud of.
WaffleProfessor2
I think you're missing the point, it's just a recruiting tool.
verukt89
I watched about 15 people struggle on the easy side. Easy medium hard expert. I went up the expert just for fun. I was aware of the point of the thing. I wanted to get them going them say I was Canadian.
applesforjuice
They're not trying to take away the pride the commenter feels. They're pointing out the fact that it's recruiters jobs to drop their jaw and say "never seen that, have you considered enlisting? You'd be promoted as fast as you got up that wall" this guy can, is, and should be proud. I've known tons of people, including me, that did the little challenges and blew away the recruiters. Just so good you have to enlist. It's a sales technique.
zeddite
And on that rickety assed Costco pull-up bar
ElderLurkerInNeedOfaCane
Is that a penis tent?
Artemiskahn
Back in the day I could rip off 35 easy, I was lighter and fit. Good job to her awesome core strength.
Berrai7
That one dude really appreciate this
TheZade
Over hand without wrapping the thumb too ... That's badass in a way that a lot of people probably wouldn't even notice or appreciate
Sandyundertones
I know that is the best grip but my fingers are too short to do it.
Ricdesan
My exact thought ... this is flaunting it to those that know
ThatBobbyG
You made that up.
Mreman71
What's that about?
ewgerard15
The thumb provides more grip. Which adds a lot of strength. Among plenty of other things that I am too dumb to explain
losersmanual
I just tried both, didn't notice any difference in difficulty. The important thing is to keep your knuckles on top of the bar.
Mmbear
It doesnt make the pull up harder, just makes you use more effort on maintaining your grip.
WorkerLurker
Military uses this for a specific reason though, you can’t underhand a wall you’re climbing without considerable preparation or perferation.
Morpheaus
It's essentially a chin-up. It's not more impressive, despite theZade trying to imply that they perceive some additional quality to it.
lunatic02
Having correct form.
aerodynamit3
It's the best way to do a pull-up if you have or want to reduce elbow pain. It's actually not that impressive on its own, just another way to grip. Most people who can do pullups would probably find this grip the most comfortable for standard pullups.
RoboVik
thank you for this information! knowing ways to safely improve health and fitness is very important. also, my elbows hurt when i do pull-ups, so i'll try this!
Mreman71
Wow. Thanks for the tip. With a lot of time on the assisted pull up machine, I've worked my way up to ONE natural pull up. And my elbows hurt.
aerodynamit3
Try this grip and make sure to activate your scapular muscles. Look up a "scapular pull up" and consider adding them into your routine. You can do them assisted but you might find it easier to try unassisted as well.
Morpheaus
This grip does nothing to reduce elbow pain. If you have elbow pain while doing pull ups. Stop doing pull ups for a few days, try to reduce inflammation in your joints, and try again to see if the exercise still causes pain. If it does, see a god damn doctor. It's a narrower grip and closer to a chin up.
SubiBryant
As someone that has to torque their heavy body for every pull up, this dude ain't wrong. Just saying.
lordmyrth
"Not bad." Bitch, you do it then! I love when a woman outdoes a man in ANYTHING.
comacomacomacomachameleon
if he's active duty marine, i'm pretty sure he can do 10 pullups
applesforjuice
Chin ups are harder for women than men. He can probably do twice that, and "not bad" is a compliment. My cousin in the marines stayed with my family and laughed when I could only do 22. There's no evidence she's outdoing anyone, and no evidence they aren't impressed and supportive. Why make it out to be what it isn't?
lordmyrth
Valid, but my mindset was that most men would say a woman couldn't have done that. She outdid expectations.
applesforjuice
She outdid expectations, partly because she's a woman, but also because most people regardless of sex can't do that. Like I said, "not bad" is a compliment. 10 would outdo their expectations for almost anyone.
applesforjuice
You said she outdid a man, now you're saying she outdid expectations. What she did was impressive, whether she outdid a man or not. Just give her that, why make it contentious
lordmyrth
I didn't make a new statement. I clarified how I meant my original. You are the one saying that I said one thing then another.
applesforjuice
We both agree she was impressive, we're not communicating well and that's probably just the fault of the medium we're communicating with. I honestly think we both agree she's great and don't need to keep this up. It's not worth it and we barely disagree, if we even do. You're right, she's impressive and exceeded expectations. Loved seeing it
