Given the following guidelines, can you do six consecutive pull-ups?

Pull-ups are executed with the palms facing away from your body. You must clear the bar with your chin and come to a complete dead-hang between repetitions.
 
Nope... and likely there is not a time in my life that I ever could legitimatly do it in those guidelines... well.. Maybe I did 6 once.. but never 8, for sure. I remember a kid in the 5th or 6th grade do about 18 or 19... but.. you know.. even in shape, you have to train to do this stuff or be built for it...

Given my body type, weight and condition I'd say there is a possibility that I could do it. Unfortunately, I haven't tried. I can do a lot of pull ups with palms facing towards my body, but haven't tried it the other way and am not sure how much more difficult it is.

I'll have to say no. I'm not sure you are going to run across very many people outside of the military that have actually tried this to your specifications.
