If you're an overweight guy or girl, the probability of lifting yourself over that bar can be summed up in two words: fat chance. And unfortunately, "overweight" in this case isn't as much as you might think. Just 4-5% higher body fat and your chances just got cut in half. If you're going to achieve your pull-ups, you have to get lean.

So does this mean that I should give up on trying to do pull ups until I have lost weight. I am currently 233 with 41% body fat. So I am about as far from lean as one can get!
