I remember watching you when I was 10, 11, and 12 when I was a wrestler and uh in the early days of the UFC and I was always wondering uh what was the max amount of pull-ups you've ever done? Oh, well, this is when I was in the Marine Corps boot camp. Um I believe it was 42. I I remember it being the most at that time. In 30 seconds. 30 seconds. Could you have kept going? Yes. So, the time stopped you? Yes. Yeah. Did you ever go beyond that? Do you think you ever did more than 42 pull-ups in one go? I mean, in one day, I'm almost sure I was strong. I was just doing a thousand squats, 500 squats, you know, 100 push-ups, and that easy. Like, that's not struggling, right? Um, my bench press was 605.
