How Many Pull-Ups Can You Do?
Donnie of The Andie Summers Show and Jeff Kurkjian got into a bit of a debate after a show. Donnie claimed he could do 15 pull-ups “easily” and Jeff, well he completely disagreed with that notion. He said he couldn’t do five, so they split the difference and made the bet ten!
Can Donnie Do 10 Pull-Ups?
That was the debate across the office that day. Shannon and Donnie worked tirelessly walking around the office to poll coworkers to see what they think. At first, it was a pretty split decision but then the “no’s” on behalf of Donnie began to pile up.
Donnie started to get very competitive and this is what was the result. You be the judge, was he able to make all ten happen?
