pullups against football player

Prepare to smoke pole.

I'm sure most of the QB's, RB's, WR's, DB's, and LB's are overweight and not jacked at all. Because football players never lift. And 23 pull-ups is not a lot, I used to do sets of 35 and I'm a runner.

You are screwed.

8/10. Pretty good troll job.

Don't worry, the top 25 BCS team will have more important things to do than to compete in a pull-up contest against you.

Oh man....you are completely screwed

I'd go out on a limb and say the top-8 players on the BCS-rated team could to 55 pullups consecutively without much a problem.

Players on a top 25BCS team = real real elite athletes

distance runners in general = not real athletes/kind of aerobically fit

Football is such a violent sport (a train wreck every weekof the season) that no fewer than say forty players on a top 25BCS team must have impeccable athletic ability. Pullups included.

Not necessarily. University of Cincinnati is a top 25 bcs team and they are playing Southern Mississippi in the Papa Johns.com bowl. UTTER AND COMPLETE BOWL SHIT!!!!!(pun intended)

First off, you are a distance runner. You haven't got this friend or friends. Second, "she" isn't really a girl. You are having an imaginary conversation with your blow-up sex doll. She doesn't know any of the football players. Just every time she "talked" you would pretend in a girly voice that she was "talking". And you didn't really say you could "beat" them in the weight room. You said you could beat them off. Specifically, you were talking about giving one of them a reach around as you were sandwiched between two of them, the ones you think are really hot. And yes, you were really drunk, but you are also really excited about this fantasy. Also, just a point on grammar here: you think there are "fewer" than eight guys, not "less". Try to understand the difference between count and non-count (mass) nouns, okay? And that's all beside the point, what you were really talking about was "doing one handed push-ups" (a euphemism if I ever heard one) while eight sweaty football players circle jerked all over you. That's what you were saying to your blow up doll.

And no, you aren't going to make a fool of yourself when you "take on" some random football player. Just get him drunk and tell him you really like to play with balls too. Maybe you could ask him if he's a tight end. It'll be all right. Just tell him that you are going to do a quarterback sneak right up the middle. It's all good.

And you rank this below a pull-up contest with some random kid in terms of importance?

I've seen 250lb guys do pullup after pullup after pullup. You would think lifting up your own body weight the heavier guy would be at a loss. Not so with dudes WHO ARE IN THE GYM EVERY DAY OF THEIR LIVES.

Actually I said the very first sentence I'm not a distance runner, good reading skills here. And way to correct a stupid grammar mistake man, that sounds like something my 10th grade teacher would of (you like that?) cared about. I have a good friend who claims to have benched over 350 (I've only seen him work out with 275 though) and he can't do more than 8 or 9 pullups so I thought I may have a chance. But the consensus seems to be that I would get smoked so you guys are probably right. For my event I'm also in the weight room at least 4 times a week btw.

Oh btw I go to a pretty big D1 school and have won conf titles, so I don't think I'm some "random kid." I'm not saying my event so don't ask, but I f'in swear on my life that is true.

I was just hoping to represent for track athletes against fatass football players, if you read all the anti-football talk on this site you'd think lots of people here don't consider them athletes.

I think if you can do 35 you'll do fine.

I think if you can do somewhere in the 30's you'll be good too. I saw a FB player at my school (small I-AA) go up the chin-up bar and do 2 sets of 10 overhand, and that's it.

BTW who the hell says Football players are not athletes?

No way can I get in the 30's, maybe I could get close if underhand. I never see football guys doing pullups, sure they are beasts on bench, squat, deadlift but that's a lot different.

You said you like to spank it to football players. That's what you said. And no, you don't have good reading skills. You know lots of girls in the Niagara Falls area, but you only talk to them about watching football players do pull ups. You would do the smoking, the smoking of the pole. You probably are upset about your 10th grade teacher because he wouldn't let you smoke his pole, and now you are mad at everyone who is smarter than you.

What kind of pullups are we talking about? Sissy baby pullups where you don't go down all the way and don't raise your chin ABOVE the bar? Or actual pull ups where you drop down to completely verticial and rise up with your chin above the bar?

Seeing people do something they call pushups also drives me crazy. Chest to floor, push up all the way up to full extension and back to the floor. That is a pushup. None of this sissy stuff only dropping to parallel.

And lets not talk about Squats....

Alan

Your grammar is hideous, too.

Obviously in the contest they would be of top form. When I did it the other day I was doing 95-98% full extension (I could probably only go down another 1-2cm), it's actually better for your ligaments if you don't completely lock out. Don't worry mine are pretty legit and I know I could do 20 under the strictest standards. And of course my chin goes above the bar.

DBs, running backs and receivers. These are the guys with better body weight/strength ratios. I say if you can get more of the linemen and linebackers in the game you'll be better off.

My guess is that if the whole team shows up and gives it a shot there will probably be at least 8 guys who can do more than you. I played D1 baseball and there were probably 8-10 guys on a roster of ~30 who could do 3 sets of 15 without much trouble overhand.
