Off course wet pullups go higher.....

Picture two identical gliders (please, no Discus/Duo Discus (sorry, couldn't
resist)) both at 100 feet, 250 Km/h. Their kinetic energy is derived from
their speed (equal in this setup) and mass. So the heavy one has the most
kinetic energy. -Which one can then obtain the highest potential energy ?
Elementary, my dear Watson.

Happy soaring,

The heavier one does have more energy. Then again, it
requires more energy to lift a heavier object. And the
additional work required to lift a heavier object to the
same height as a lighter one is directly proportional to the
difference in mass.
