I asked the guy at my gym with the most impressive back out of all the regulars how he got there. Pull ups.. That's all he does for his back. He works from home and stated he does roughly 1000 a day in between whatever it is that he does. He varies his grips and has at it.

75!! dam!
Whitey13 i do pullups 2x a week. usually 3 sets 10. for awhile i could barely do one so i used the assisted pullup machine. pullups work a loooot of muscle groups, def an exercise you want to do

BP- >Advanced (almost elite)
Squat-Novice ( I got one real knee, and one fake)
Deadlift- Intermediate (I don't//won't go any higher- no glory in it)
Press- >Advanced
The other things to measure- BF%, BP, HR, cholesterol level, sugar levels...
At the end of the day, it don't matter how much you can press, how many pull-ups you can do, if you're internals are in trouble,you're in trouble!
Like I said in one of my first posts, my goal is to be healthy.

Not picking on you at all but as I read through this thread there is one thing missing: Money. I, like a lot of you exercise to stay healthy and in shape and I am a firm believer in the better shape you are in the better quality of life you have.
With that said, never think for a minute that the guy with a "Greek God" body and can do millions of pull ups, thousands of push ups, has a 12 pack tummy, run the 40 in 4.3 and has an endowment that will make a horse blush can EVER compete with a fat, middle aged, balding, high blood pressure waiting on a heart attack AND Millions of dollars in the bank when it comes to attracting women. The fat rich guy will win every time. So, if you really want to pick up chicks, stop going to the gym and get started on your 1st Million.

not true.. maybe for some women, but not all. my mom dated a millionaire
she chose someone else.
my wife dated rich guys,, she chose my broke butt.
some woman prefer personality, charisma, humor etc.
ive never understood guys who buy womens affections with money,
or literally buy women(escorts), you can get that and much more for free.

Maybe millionaire was not enough. Try Billionaire lol. Yeah, my wife did the same thing. I do think money, and power, are the ultimate aphrodisiac. Too bad I have neither. I have a mountain bike and a 4Runner. And a job.
