I agree i was only using it as an example.
I can also see where at first it might seem funny or ironic that a buff guy could only do a few pull-ups. but it's just a matter of what type of muscles your after.
sprinting, deadlifts, overhead presses, heavy weight holds (where you grab two heavy dumbells and just stand there holding them or walk with them) and a heavy bag workout would probably be more useful in everyday life.
I also think you could get in pretty good shape just doing pull-ups, pushups, situps and running.
