@TheTonganMammoth Yes, i understand where he is coming from because he is stronger in the sense he can lift more but proportionately they are equal unless the person gets over like 900 pounds then physics have more effect. Im just trying to get people to stop using weight as an excuse for doing less pullups

@b5ist I think you're touching on "relative strength" @smoovemillions is talking about "absolute strength" A guy that pulls a max deadlift of 600 lbs @ a bodyweight of 16 5lbs would be relatively stronger than a guy pulling the same amount @ a bodyweight of 300 lbs. But if the 300 lbs guy max's out at 950 lbs on deadlift then it makes him "absolutely stronger."

You can't have somebody twice as heavy be in the same performance range (strength ratio related) as his smaller twin.
Two people of different size trained with the same goal to the max. perfomance are going to have different results. Both of them are going to do more pullups but the smaller guy will have a better strength to weight ratio and therefore more pullups :P

@thetightpinkie A 100 pound and 200 pound person does not apply to this. The cross sections have grown in proportion throughout the person's life. Thats like saying a 200 pound person in the same physical condition as a 100 pound person shouldn't b able to lift more. More weight is more muscle mass and using that as an excuse for less pullups is exactly that, an excuse.

@b5ist Mass of the creature grows faster than its strength even if you keep its proportions and just make it bigger. The MASS of the muscle will grow just as you say but the cross-sectional area which determines muscle strength won't.
If its 10 times bigger in every axis its 1000 more massive> heavier right?
but the cross-sectional are of the muscle grew only on TWO of the THREE of them get it?
1000 heavier 100 times stronger.

@thetightpinkie Ok u and everyone else need to make sure u know wat ur talking about b4 commenting. An ant at 1000 lbs would be one of or THE strongest creatures on the planet. If you made him bigger and kept his strength at the same ratio y couldnt he walk? He'd still b able to lift multiple times his body weight the only difference is now he's 1000 pounds
-
@b5ist You are wrong dude. Do you think an ant would have the same strengrth ratio if he'd weigh a 1000 lbs?
He'd be definitely have a lot worse weight/strength ratio because of the laws of physics. If you'd make him big enough he wouldn't be even able to walk.

@L00kuP illiterate? I have a 5.0 weighted GPA and im illiterate for shortening my words for your understanding and to save my time? Ya you just proved how incompetant you are. You couldn't even give an example of anything i mispelled you inbred waste of space. And before asking me for a source, why don't you provide one yourself to defend your useless argument. Just because your obese and can't do a pullup doesn't mean you can make up excuses that aren't valid. Good day sir/ma'am.

@b5ist Source needed, you illiterate mongrel.

@L00kuP 1) Are u stupid? i didnt spell anything wrong unless i was shortening the word. Im not going to take any more time than needed to explain something to some pre-pubescent know-it-all 2) U completely changed the subject I said exact same physical condition implying no genetic difference other than pure mass 3) Sorry to burst YOUR bubble but this is not an argument you'll win. It's not even debatable i told you before it is proven not opinionated.
@6garbageman9
ive never seen anyone who had an incredibly strong bench, dead and squat that couldnt do a single pullup, or not many pushups

Height does though. When I go to the gym with my friend (me 6'6", him 5'7") I feel like one pull-up for me moves me twice as far as he had to go.
That ain't fair!
