[FONT=&quot]When was the last time you did pull-ups for fun, let alone on your birthday?[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Well, 90-year-old Vern from Florida recently put us all to shame when his son recorded him doing pull-ups on his birthday. According to his son, the two regularly go to the gym together to work out despite Vern's old elbow injuries.

[FONT=&quot]"We go to the gym regularly and he loves to do pull-ups," Vern's son writes in the YouTube caption. "I think he does pretty good considering he broke both elbows as a kid."[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Just look at what Vern can do in cargo pants and sandals. Most millennials don't even know how to stand up straight, let alone do a pull-up.

Technically they're neutral grip chins not pull ups and his range of motion is a little... incomplete.

Nevertheless an amazing effort and I hope I'm that fit and strong at 90.
 
Look, it's great, he's swinging around on a bar, he'd get more benefit digging a hole, you blokes are weird.
 
No it's not but I don't see that as being the point, most 90 year olds wouldn't be able to walk into a gym let alone hang off a bar
Now if that was me or you doing that then any criticism would be justified for sure

i have never seen a 90 year old in the gym. i would like to see him post a clip in the clean and press thread.
 
There is A reason you don't see old people in the gym, mostly because people do shitty exercises to begin with some get away with it.
but don't really have much to show for it.
