    Yes or no? Or is the drive-thru the only thing he pulls up to?

    I highly doubt it, out of all the bodyweight exercises that tends to be the one you have to be leanest to do.

    I’m sure he can do at least 3

    the thing with pull ups is it’s all about your unique bio-mechanics

    I read an article about this

    certain men can’t do pull ups due to the muscle formation but they can do rows heavier then the guys who can do pull ups easiest

    this article said the stockier the man the harder it is for him to do pull ups

    He can pull up a beer.

    Soon he will fight Wilder and repeat the triumph of the Dustin Nichols school of boxing. Kronk gym move over!

    I can do several pull-ups and would have a coronary after 12 minutes, never mind 12 rounds, of even very modestly vigorous (shadow, for obvious reasons) boxing with a guy like Joshua.

    So, yes, I should think he can do quite a decent number.

    Now dangle a tortilla over the bar and he'd probably get a few in.

    He actually can. Despite appearances Andy is actually a very good athlete. I used to see Andy train regularly earlier in his career when my trainer’s friend Sal was Andy’s trainer.

    Andy had no problem doing push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups, etc... What Andy struggled with was roadwork and controlling his sweet tooth.

    Probably. He's got pretty big lats.

    Whether he can or he cannot do a pull up, his fighting ability earned him the World Heavyweight Championship and mega millions in the bank.

    It is just a pity he followed ‘Two Ton’ Tony Galentos philosophy, who when he was asked why he was letting his sparring partners do roadwork while he sat in the car smoking cigars during his training, it's reported he said:
    “Why should I pay the bums all that good folding money and then go out and do all the work myself?”

    overhand or underhand? I suspect he can do some chin ups (underhand). Overhand is significantly harder I would side with no.

    that is actually a hinderance to doing pull ups

    narrow lat guys do pull ups better

    check my post it’s all about bio-mechanics not strength
