Here is a man saying he "hasn't done pullups in a while" yet believes he can do somewhere between 30-50 pullups in a single set. This is the sort of bizarre delusion that pullups in particular seem to bring out in people.
Untrained people for some reason have a completely skewed view of what a sane number of pullups is. 30 pullups is in the realm of a professional competitive male rock climber. You would have to train weighted pullups and dedicate numerous training blocks just to pullups over several years to get your numbers anywhere near there. If you could do 30 pullups you'd fucking know it because you'd have been doing them every other day for the last several years.
If someone tells me they can "maybe do 30-50 pullups", in a single set, I know that person has never even touched a pullup bar. When they say "haha yeah I could probably do 30-50 dude haha it's been a while but yeah I could do it", it's like someone telling you "yeah I could probably run a sub 4-minute mile dude haha I've not been on a run in a few years but it never leaves you" or "haha yeah dude I could squat 280kg I take the stairs at work". They don't understand the figures they're lying about are insane because they have no frame of reference.
