First off I'm not a distance runner but I've got some friends from track who come here and I visit the site pretty regularly too. Anyway here's the deal:
I met this girl this weekend who I ended up talking with about different sports at our school, she said she knew some of the football players, and somehow I said I could beat a lot of the them in the weight room (I don't know how we began on this subject I was pretty drunk), specifically I said there were less than 8 guys on the team who could get me in a pull-up contest. My reasoning is most of them are pretty heavy so that should hurt them. This is a top 25 BCS team, I am wondering how many pull-ups the top 8 out of 80-some guys could do so I know what I could be up against (I verified there are some pics of football guys in her apt from facebook). btw I went in the next day and did 23.5 overhand, with impeccable form I should still get 20-21. Would this cut it or I am I gonna make a fool of myself if I took on some random football player?
