Staff Sergeant Robert A. Henderson, a 95 Year Old Marine Veteran of WII and survivor of Pearl Harbor can bang out 12 Marine Corps pull-ups. Can you? Will you at 95?

Motivate.

He can do more than some I know! If you can't do at least 10, you're way out of shape...

Yes, but that doesn't take away from his abilities, and I plan to be able to do so at 95.

I am not sure I can do that at the age of 95 years old, but I do pull-ups on a regular basis, and I can do at least 12 before dropping. I also do the pull-ups hands over the bar like the Marine in the picture.

I bet he can still put a round up a gnats ass at 500 yards too.

I will be honest, at 52 now, my vision isn't what it used to be. Shooting at 100 yards seems like what shooting at 500 used to seem like. I just want to be able to lift the weapon and send rounds down range on the correct azimuth at 95.

I'm lucky if I could bang out ONE pullup right now.
