Andy is SCARY big but hes a neat guy, a grade school teacher and is well known in our community for good things. Ive had the intimidating honor of training alongside of him.

You don't suck at pull-ups Seth. It takes me alot of sets to get to 30 pull-ups as well and I don't suck at any lift

I was alluding to your total pullups of 50. No matter how many sets it takes, just getting 50 done is strong brother - your certainly not as bad at pull ups as you think you are.

I remember quite often seeing alot of dudes cranking out pull-ups like they were nothing. Most of them had nothing for lower body. I used to get a bit jelly until I realized they cannot deadlift 405 lbs, or squat 225 with good form.
