New and improved one arm pullup set

Some of the comments from my last video said that I was using the bounce of the bar and not getting my chin fully over which made me rethink my training method. I still do powerful, fast pull ups but have tried to improve my form and technique as well. Quality over quantity should be the focus of all strength training. I'm still trying to increase the number to 10 or above on each arm but these are MUCH harder than my previous one arm pull ups. I'll keep training hard and post a vid when I get there!

ur lifting ur chin.

@AcTommyX Your spelling is improper, it should read, " You're lifting your chin." Just trading the constructive criticism. Thanks for pointing that out dude.

I'm working on weighted chins myself, taking my time to work up to this. I can only do about 5 reps of regular chins with an extra 25 lbs. what max weight do you think I would need to be able to pull to start one arm work?

P.S I am 129 lbs

You've got a great starting weight and sounds like a good foundation of pull strength. Most of the guys that get one-arms are about our weight, 120-140 range, i would say start right now. After training specifically for one arms over the last few years I don't personally feel there's a good correlation between regular chins and one-arm chins. Like I mention in a previous post i think the best way to get them is to train for them specifically.

dude i how many regular dead hang pull ups can you do? the marine corps record is 146 and i saw in a dif vid of yours you rock climb i'm just wondering if you could break that record cuz the record holder is a rock climber also

[ableteam]

I haven't tried to do a set of regular pullups while I was fresh for a long time. I imagine I'd be able to do 40 or so strict non-kipping pullups in a row but no way would I do anything close to 146 unless I wasn't going above the bar, using the bar to bounce or not locking out at the bottom of each one.

Every time I hear a crazy record like that I wish I could see video of it to see what the form/technique is like.

an amazing display of strength and full respect for taking comments onboard and improving because of them ;)

no limits for this guy



[lamainethetrain]

[rushjunkie007]

very impressive

[cephalik1]

thats great man! these people talking smack wish they achieved this, but since they are lazy and not willing to put the effort they choose to hate instead, i see it all the time...

Bad ass

[tetrarn]

@LeftWingAgenda what the fuck are you even talking about, your arm isn't glued to the bar, dumb ass.

LONGVIEW BY GREEN DAY!!!!!!

[BOnono2011]

That is good stuff right there. Great job!

[LeftWingAgenda]

that looks kind of dangerous to do with only one arm cuz what if you suddenly have an urge to sneeze or hiccup or something then accidentally lose focus ur arm could snap in half

Dont listen to the haters, I know how hard this is. I can do 5 each arm and I know that it takes years to master. Anyone who criticizes is just a hater. One arm pull up is the KING of all body weight training. It takes both MENTAL and PHYSICAL strength to do it.
