I probably could do one in a row today...emphasis on the "probably".

My son, he of chimp strength, can bang out 20 without effort.

We no longer speak

I've got a buddy that was (is) a marine. I don't know how old he is, but I'm going to say at least mid 40s. He said that when he was in the marines, there were the guys that could easily pass the running, and there were the guys that could easily pass the pull-up test, and it was rare that folks could easily do both.

When I was a kid, I could have managed both. My legs and core have always been my strength (NPI) and upper body / arm strength have always been my weakness. A few years ago, I ran a 10k, and then 1.5 years later, I rode in an MS150.
