Well sure, but can you do 44 wide-grip pullups in one minute?

Glad to see good form. No "kipping" nonsense.

Wide grip can be easier than narrow grip.
It's a strong function of what you're used to,
which of them you've been training.
44 is very good.
If he keeps at it for years, he might regret it in
his 50s though.

I'm a little slow. I cannot do 44 in a minute.
How many can you do with your 130 pound girl friend on your back? No time limit.

I'm not so sure. I never timed myself, but I could do 55 pullups in my early 20's, and I had a routine in my late 50's where I was doing 15-20 sets of ten pullups and the same numbers of dips per workout, and found I could go on about as long as I wanted. My wife says the work I put in during my 20's was probably the reason why I still had some strength.
Of course, now that I've reached my Beatles Birthday (64), the only intentional workout I do is on climbs, but my joints and tendons are still OK.
Quickness, on the other hand, deserted me long ago.

I used to do a lot of pullups. Not sure I ever tried to max out but I remember doing 48 in J-tree on a bar Chip Holdcamp had on his van. I was however able to knock off 5 one armers, and even once did 1 with my girlfriends younger brother hanging on my waist. Now I do a few set's of 10 and am sore for days.

I dunno, HFCS, I was never able to do 44 pull-ups Until I was in, my 50's. Form wasn't perfect, and I didn't time it.

I don't consider that good form. Good form is not barely clearing the bar when the chin is reaching up like that. The jaw should be horizontal like when a person is standing normally. At least the entire jaw should clear the bar, not just the chinny chin chin. Think how easy it would be for somebody with a chin-job.

Pullup strength is great, but when it comes to climbing.....da feet or defeat.

This is out of date, but probably still worth a look :

Doing a lot of pullups is not a very exciting way to spend an afternoon.
