71 yo Robert Kennedy pull-ups more impressive than 40 yo Mark Wahlberg

Those are a bit harder maybe 15-20% so
Still 16 chinups is a good number
Huge respect to a 71 yo pumping out 20
That's like .05%

RFK is in pretty good shape for an old guy, but I will never take him seriously after he told some journalist named Olivia Nuzzi via text message he would take
a bullet for her. That made me laugh hardcore. He like trauma bonds way too early or its some mobster coded lingo like, "You're one of us now doll."
Either way, Nuzzi exposing him for that was shady and she made herself seem silly. lol. He likely would have said that to any young woman who gave him
attention. She isn't even cute at all and she is just cringe because when east coast folks try to act like these rebels or non conformists or try to brag about
humble roots, it just comes across as forced because they are ultimately very conventional. Not to mention, self-conscious and class obsessed. Nuzzi is no
exception. There is classism on the west coast too, but when they try to perform it can at least still come across as funny because it's often combined with new
age elements that seem so ridiculous, you just have to laugh.

Anyway, all this stuff seems very performative which is very on brand for a man born in D.C. and raised in Massachusetts. I think Marky Mark is a New Yorker as
well.
I'm not into gym bros, but I'm also not into fat guys. Still, before a performative east coast type, I prefer a personality like John Candy who was Canadian and
not overly conscious of himself or performing in a role like Uncle Buck. He wasn't a midwesterner, but played one well. lmfao.
The whole MAHA movement seems bizarre to me. I'm into health of course and everybody should be, but I hate how diets and exercise have become political. The
right wing feel like to counter the left they have to perform body building and carnivore diets. Steve Bannon in praising Brigitte Bargot tried to downplay her
animal rights activism because oh that may offend MAGA. Finally, this obsession with ozempic and zepbound is just creepy.

Yeah that is impressive and of course he is in excellent shape, but it’s just funny how all these celebs and politicians are performing 24/7.

I mean ok he did forehead to bar instead of chin to bar 20 times at 71 yo
This is not the marine corps physical fitness test. Its a 71 yo ffs
Would love to see how many people making fun of him could do forehead to bar 20 times
My guess is zero. Anyone who actually did pull ups would know how hard they are. Such as yourself mr marlon.

This year since my leg is fucked I am working to getting 12-15 good pullups hopefully by end of the year. I have been doing 100 reps on an assistance band
daily.
