    Ok sorry my bad forgot Floyd is the only one allowed to fight

    The problem is lazy, entitled people never get motivated by anything.

    How do you equate my post with me critisizing AJ for the victory in the rematch or not giving him credit for adapting and boxing a shut out against a guy that utterly destroyed him in the first match. LOL

    Because I was only having fun with idea of Ruiz doing a pull up
    Then you had a dig about AJ
    So i stated what happened in the rematch

    Do like Ruiz if you read any of my posts would know that
    But AJ boxed him second time round
    To stand in the pocket again would be stupid

    Don't really see your problem here

    This guy clearly puts in some physical work physically. You can see his base is pretty solid. If he lost like 30-50 lbs his muscles would show. Show me one where a complete fat f*ck that never did any physical activity for his entire life jump rope like this.

    There are a few things wrong with your post man.
    First off, it is the opposite of "generous" to describe Ruiz as 6'. 5' 11" is what the most extreme claims are, & others may say he is as listed, 6' 2"-but if you bpth a boxing a man who is 6' 6", & you are so wide/fat-you will look shorter.
    Now he may be 6' or between 6' & 6' 1", but given his weight & fighting against someone so much taller-it is hard to know. Certainly not "erogenous" to say he is 2 whole inches shorter than he is listed.

    And while Ruiz may have been fairly "fat but fit" at 268, he does not have enough muscle to be "solid" or near ideal shape at that weight. He was too fat then, & if he was say 235: THEN he would be still not lean & overweight, but that would be the very outer limits of "soild": at least "only" ~ 25% body fat!

    And given his weight problem & that he does well relatively heavy, unlike others he may be best at this relatively heavy weight.
    But I do not like the Hate Speech such as "Fat ****".
    He should not have come in so heavy, but has a weight problem.

    Now about the pull up...I gave my rationale & argument above, & you are likely close...Gun to my head, I would guess maybe ne could do one good pull up.

    You’re joking, right?

    37 pull ups, full range, elbows near lockout, chin above the bar, no heaving?

    I am sorry, I don’t believe you.

    I am interested in this question. Please see my long post just before your, & the long one on the next page.
    I am assuming that unlike what happens in Real Life, the Marines were made to do strict reps-at least to drop to a fully hanging position then get their chin over the bar, right?
    So many guys do not do this & thus think they can do better than they actually can.

    Now Thor spoke of body structure as being insertion points of the muscles (but did not specify what he meant). AND said being wider makes it more difficult.
    But why would shorter arms help? I know they do for pushing exercises, but I thought that for pulling it assists with leverage?
    If not, it may be that it is a longer range of motion-except for deadlifts, where it is shorter...

    But is not the main factor that if you have longer arms, you *tend* to be taller & thus heavier overall?
    Besides that pound for pound bigger guys do not do as well as smaller ones, even with the same body fat level...
    If a man is say 160 dressed then a 200 lb. man is pulling up 20% more actual weight.
    Besides anatomical quirks & advantages, it is a rough measure of pulling strength relative to body weight, right?

    I'm 36 never done any service but worked my balls off on site plastering since I was 15. Only weigh 11 and half stone was doing pull ups on the scaffolding the other day and can still do 17 will admit last three where not pretty.

    Age does get you ten years back would could pass 25 easy. Body shape does make a different core strength can't be brought tho
