am i weird or is my friend

i have 3 questions
1. can most people do more dips or chin/pull ups.

i want to know cause i can do about 8 chin ups and 13 dips in one set but my freind can do 10 pull ups but only 7 dips

2. who do you think is more unusual
3. and which group of muscles do you think would help more in a fight..
the chin up muscles- biceps, back
or the dip muscles- triceps, chest, shoulders

Generally speaking, the average person can do more dips than they can do chins/pull-ups. There is no "rule" about it, especially since there will be a very large range of what people will count as a pull-up or dip.

You are both unusual for worrying about it.

That depends on how big your e-penis is.

1. Dips > Pull-ups/Chins

2. ?

3. Neither. Your brain is most important.

Generally people can do more dips than pull ups. Makes sense as triceps are bigger muscles by a 3:2 factor over biceps...ofcourse limb length, muscle fiber composition, training experience, injuries,etc...can change this phenomenon...

dont worry so much about how much u or your friend can do....if u keep progressing then that's all that matters....

Neither, your butt is most important because that's where all your power comes from.

Put some jam on your shoes and invite your trousers for tea.
