I did this at the park. A couple of kids came by the pull-up bars with their father and wanted to do what I was doing. The father lifted them up and they tried and tried but couldn't get out one pull-up. I smiled as I was doing sets of 5. I said, "Come on, you guys hardly weigh anything. Pull!" The older kis managed to get about halfway up and I told him that he should keep practicing if he wanted to get big and strong. The father asked me how many pull-ups I usually do. I told him that today I was doing 150 and his jaw dropped. "150 Pull-ups?!?" "Yeah," I said, "plus the half mile runs in between."

Then he picked up the kids and walked away. I think he might have thought I was a looney.
