I am 46. I did 20 at the gym today after reading this post.

I rarely do more then 10 of anything at the gym, so 20 is a lot of reps for me.

When I was a Marine a little over 20 years ago 20 pull-ups was the standard. Last year I helped my girlfriends son join the Marines. He started out at 21 not being able to do a single pull-up. After six months of working out with me he was up to 10-12. There are a few other kids at the gym trying to get into The Corps. None of them started out doing any pull-ups either. They are both pushing ten now as well.
