You definitely have me beat on cardio.... I HATE running and would be hard pressed to jog a mile non stop. I get winded leisurely riding a mountain bike around a campground. lol

I don't claim to be in great shape, I was just curious regarding pullups as I go back and forth over whether it is worth trying to get to higher number to try and keep ahead of my buddies.

I feel like getting up to 20 is a good number, then if you get the urge gradually increase. I feel like 20 would be a good round number, and 50 would be really impressive.
