A proper chin-up for a set of 20 rep's is rare for a 80+ man, he would be really strong and really well built.
A bloke that would be like this would of been able to have done 10 easy and progress to 20 in a very short time, due to mostly fiber typing and not because of his workout method.
A proper set of pullups is much easier now due to losing around 12-13kg. But if I'm honest I'm still probably around a max of 6-7 very strict at a BW of 110-ish.
Had a go at doing as many as I could yesterday after a warm up of cable rows. 12, 8, 8. A bit disappointing seeing I do them weekly. Gives me something to work on.
I completed 12 this morning after doing a few light stretches and light warm up on bent over rows.
I think I could have done 2 more but my right hand was loosing grip. I think my body weight is about 84-85kg.
Yep, when I was fully into motox, I mounted a set if mx handlebars upside down in my garage (still use em) 20mm, perfect for good grip and the bend and angle is spot on for chins and pull-ups.
Having said that, I could only get 8, and if I slacked off (winter) and only used the back pull down machine, drop to 5, 4 on second set.

Challenge accepted. Will try later in the week when I'm down 1-2kg haha
Another bloody good tut one is to do hold at the top, then 90 degree elbow position then dead hang. Aim for 30 seconds at each position. I've only been able to do it once
