This chart shows how pull-up reps people of various weights/age can do - it only counts people who workout (and self-reported) so by default even a novice/beginner level is likely ahead of 90 of the population.

Mike's 25 puts him in the advanced category by age which totally makes sense.

There's benchmarks for other exercises too but like all self reporting take it with a grain of salt as I'm sure how much weight people are lifting is exaggerated the same way dudes say they are 6' tall on dating apps when they are actually 5'9".

I've always hated this site, it grossly overinflates what the average is for most people, especially on the lifting side.

25+ is considered elite on any other site (this is navy seal level), but that site lists it as advanced, which is bullshit.

Even "elite" athletes aren't really doing 30+ pullups, that's ridiculous. It says someone @ 260 is considered elite at 25 pullups

NFL players aren't even coming close to that, at that weight.
