Depends on specific circumstances that may require a need for one, 90 year old grannies with a pistol can win a fight against any Olympic athlete out there under the right conditions, that's the great thing about guns, they make everyone equal
That's not true at all.... My mother and Aunt can no longer do any of those things, but will both pop you like fucking Annie Oakley from 50 yards out with their pistols....
I'm sorry that your mom obviously can't shoot, or that you just have some weird personal issues, but I'm not sure what that has to do with me or the fact that my mom has grown up and lived in the country her entire life and has been shooting guns since she learned to walk.....
Lift heavy stuff and run. Fuck calisthenics though, I can do them, but, I have since moved them to the military memory bank and thats where those are going to stay.
I have a distant cousin in a wheelchair who shot 2 intruders in FL attempting to force their way into his house (after he fell out of his chair trying to stop them) - who thinks you're full of shit.
The intruders aren't thinking anything. Because they're fucking dead.
I’m a girl. Pull-ups aren’t my thing. But I train Jiu Jitsu 2-4 hours a day and I spend the rest of the day hauling bags of feed on the farm. But I understand the confusion.
spend the rest of the day hauling bags of feed on the farm
That alone would make you a badass but add in the Jiu Jitsu and hope the dude that messes with you has already made peace with his maker. Not only that, every farm chick I've ever known was strapped and as good of a shot as I am.
Pull-ups are a fairly useless skill. I can't think of a circumstance where you'd need to do a pull up in a fight. Maybe climbing fences? but you can use mostly leg to run a fence.
It's also a measure of overall strength. If you train for pull ups you will have a stronger upper body. It's win win, there is literally no downside. There are probably thousands of situations where this is a posative, especially in SHTF situations, if you think otherwise it's just because you are doughy and too lazy to train.
I train very hard and very often, but I'm a woman with thin arms and wide hips, so physics is working against me way harder than dudes who have half of their body weight in their shoulders.
A pull-up is a very basic skill used in climbing. If you want to take the risk of not being able to do a pull-up and hoping that every time you need to climb will have convenient foot holds for you, then be my guest.
But you are kidding yourself. I'm not in shape, but I can do a pull-up. When I used to climb around on buildings and such getting into trouble as a kid, i saw that there are situations where you need upper body strength. This is from someone who could fly over a 6ft wall using mostly leg strength.
Just get strong enough todo a pull-up. Stop avoiding it, it's naive. And EASY to learn how to do.
“Researchers at the University of Dayton in Ohio have found that even fit women struggle to do pull-ups, and the maneuver is not actually a good measure of fitness. The researchers recruited 17 women of a healthy weight, and trained them for three months, with a focus on exercises that would strengthen their upper back…at the end of the training period, only four of the 17 women could complete even one pull-up despite increasing their overall upper-body strength by 36 percent.” - https://www.besthealthmag.ca/blog-post/fitness-why-even-fit-women-cant-do-pull-ups/
Why is this study relevant? Think. Climbing is a practical skill. If you can't climb over something, you are stuck having to find another way. If roads and sidewalks are blocked, what will you do? Bring a step ladder with you?
Have you ever tried to pull yourself up onto a boat? Have you ever needed to quickly climb onto a roof? Whether or not women can do pullups as easy as men doesn't matter. You have to be able to do them if you want to survive.
"Why is this study relevant?" Because telling someone that the basis of fitness is contingent upon being able to perform an exercise that is essentially biologically impossible for 50 percent of the population, I think is faulty and not a good measure of actual fitness.
"Have you ever tried to pull yourself up onto a boat?" Yes, and it involved swinging my leg over the side of the boat and pulling myself up with two arms and a leg. In other instances, I've kicked hard enough to propel myself out of the water far enough to be able to push myself/fold over the edge not pull myself up over the edge.
"You have to be able to do them if you want to survive." As I originally stated, my issue with pull-ups is that 1) they are not a very good indicator of overall fitness or strength, and 2) I cannot think of a single likely survival situation where any "pulling up" task wouldn't involve some use of lower body strength, whereas a pull-up is set-up to not have the legs involved. Essentially, pull-ups can build upper-body strength, but it's not actually a motion that you would encounter in a real situation.
Well I'm telling you that it is something you would likely encounter in a survival situation. Because I've done lots of sneaking around and I wouldn't have been able to do many things I've done if I couldn't do a pull-up.
What it sounds like is you're trying to settle for not being able to do a pull-up. Good job for using your legs but in the situation you can't, you will wish you had. And there will probably be a lot.
It's not biologically impossible, 4 girls did it. Those 4 could probably do many of the same things guys can do, increasing their odds of survival, and their usefully was to a group.
It's all your own personal odds of survival which is your choice. But really look inside yourself and ask if it's truly impossible? Because the things you settle as being impossible are literally when you stop growing in that area, and limit yourself.
Hey meathead, try to enter my domain uninvited. I'm a disabled differently abled veteran but I guarantee my aim is still pretty good and I've got lots of strength in my trigger finger.
Underrated post. A lot of my friends have guns, ammo, etc. But they are some of the most physically unfit specimens. Smokers. Beer bellies. Low t soft ass look to them. If they had to run a mile they’d die. If the actual SHTF many would be fucked.
If your gut hangs out from underneath your chest rig or PC, put down the spoon you obese fat disgusting wad of shit. You look like a retard and embarrass the rest of us.
That being said, OP, I tore my rotator cuff. So no pushups or pull-ups for me for a while lol
Yeah Fine, Young Buck; try that when your 70, or 80, or 90 years old.
Your 'guns' are essential, yeah right, till some Dem judge signs away your 02nd Amendment rights for 'red flag', 'domestic violence', 'kicking the dog'. NONE of these and more are in the 02nd Amendment- yet its done and NO ONE can change it
The problem is... there's remarkably little use for that skill. 99% of combat happens at 300 yards or closer. It's why we got rid of those ridiculous WW1 and WW2 rifles that fired supremely high-powered long-ranged cartridges to shorter, lighter, less powerful ones. And America is much more built up than Afghanistan, where you'll have a mud hut in the middle of nowhere that the Taliban are meeting in where you can put a dude with a .50 on a hillside to pop them.
Think about how many places around you actually have 1km sightlines, where you can both PID a target, and someone would actually be who needs to be shot. Unless you're shooting dudes across an open farm field, literally everywhere outside the western deserts has so much vegetation you'll almost never need that range. And the problem with the western deserts is... they're deserts. Nobody is there.
Hey idiot, how many snipers are embedded into every single rifle team?
Is the answer... zero?
One guy gets a DMR... and that's not a sniper. Out of like ten dudes, one guy with a DMR. Meaning even the military recognizes there's very little use in normal situations. And the guy with the DMR isn't supposed to be engaging 1,000 yards away either. It's a .308 rifle for around 600 yards.
Snipers are used in ultra specialized applications and that's it. And guess what, snipers are fit as fuck because of how they have to operate, so if you aren't on that level by your own admission, don't even try to compare yourself to them.
Maybe you should've spent more time actually reading what the fuck I wrote, and less time working yourself into a fragile frenzy.
Snipers are not very useful outside of ultra-niche applications, which is why the military has so few of them and uses them so sparingly. Most combat happens at 300 yards or closer. 99.99% of the time the longest anyone in a rifle team needs to reach out is 600 yards, which is what the guy with the DMR is for.
But they don't give the guy with the DMR a .338LM rifle.
Literally nothing you're angrily squealing about has actually made an actual argument about what I said, which was "there's extremely few situations where you'll be shooting at 1km".
Guess what retard, we have have MOABs too, but we still find more use dropping 500lb bombs than we do MOABs.
You sound like the closest you've gotten to battle has been playing video games.
Like it doesn't occur to him why it's so damn hard to find 1000 yard ranges. I love out where you actually can shoot that far and the terrain is closer to what I saw in Afghanistan where we can get those insane long shots. Problem is nobody is here and it's 120 degrees every day.

That's not true at all.... My mother and Aunt can no longer do any of those things, but will both pop you like fucking Annie Oakley from 50 yards out with their pistols....
If my mom's the one doing the shooting, I will sure as fuck haul the ammo for her.... They called her little Annie Oakley as a kid....
please clap
I'm sorry that your mom obviously can't shoot, or that you just have some weird personal issues, but I'm not sure what that has to do with me or the fact that my mom has grown up and lived in the country her entire life and has been shooting guns since she learned to walk.....
Those old ranch and farm girls can shoot
Lift heavy stuff and run. Fuck calisthenics though, I can do them, but, I have since moved them to the military memory bank and thats where those are going to stay.
And never listen to the NFAC about gun saftey😂😂😂 😎🕆🇺🇸💪
I want them to keep it up. It makes my day more entertaining each time the videos of hem are posted.
Does it count if I can do your requirements over the course of lets say 6-12 hours??
If you have 6-12 hours, then yeah sure. The problem is, you might have 6-12 minutes, or worse 6-12 seconds.
I have a distant cousin in a wheelchair who shot 2 intruders in FL attempting to force their way into his house (after he fell out of his chair trying to stop them) - who thinks you're full of shit.

I can’t do ten pull-ups but I can take your back and rear naked choke you into the future. Cardio and strength people! And a little bit of jiu jitsu
i can't do pull-ups, but muh strength. wut?
I’m a girl. Pull-ups aren’t my thing. But I train Jiu Jitsu 2-4 hours a day and I spend the rest of the day hauling bags of feed on the farm. But I understand the confusion.

Pullups? I'm not a marine!
chin-ups suffice?
Pull-ups are a fairly useless skill. I can't think of a circumstance where you'd need to do a pull up in a fight. Maybe climbing fences? but you can use mostly leg to run a fence.
In what situation, though, would you now be able to use your lower body to get over the obstacle?
It's also a measure of overall strength. If you train for pull ups you will have a stronger upper body. It's win win, there is literally no downside. There are probably thousands of situations where this is a posative, especially in SHTF situations, if you think otherwise it's just because you are doughy and too lazy to train.
I train very hard and very often, but I'm a woman with thin arms and wide hips, so physics is working against me way harder than dudes who have half of their body weight in their shoulders.
go on...
Climbing fences or onto roofs or over anything, or pulling your self out of water. Hugely important skill to have.
All of those activities can involve leg strength though.
