They would have a good diet regardless of whatever fad they chose.

I had a door frame one and it damages the frame and the door if you aren't careful. I got kids so there's a lot of not careful running around the house breaking shit.

If anyone wants to feel shame about being weak there's an old (70+ y.o) East Indian granny at Edmonds who leg presses 3 plates (315lbs). They weren't full depth presses but she could definitely do 250 at full depth.
Go watch her then go find a corner to cry by yourself.

This chart shows how pull-up reps people of various weights/age can do - it only counts people who workout (and self-reported) so by default even a novice/beginner level is likely ahead of 90 of the population.
Mike's 25 puts him in the advanced category by age which totally makes sense.
There's benchmarks for other exercises too but like all self reporting take it with a grain of salt as I'm sure how much weight people are lifting is exaggerated the same way dudes say they are 6' tall on dating apps when they are actually 5'9".
