Archer Pull-up and More: Training for One Arm Pullups

http://www.alkavadlo.com/2009/11/archer-pull-ups-more-working-towards-one-arm...
This video segment shows you three different techniques to use to work up to one arm pull-ups: one arm negatives, archer pull-ups, and one arm pull downs (on a cable machine). There are other techniques out there to train for the one are pull-up as well--be creative!

It's not even a pull up it's a chin up :D

@AndroidKD If you want to see me using an overhand grip, check out my more recent OAP tutorial.

I wonder why you are doing these on a bar instead of on rings. I found that I got some tendinitis in my wrists or elbow from doing those negatives off of a bar. The ring, which rotated cleared that up.

@Arlemagne I didn't have access to rings at the time I made this video, but I don't really see how that would affect whether or not one would develop tendinitis from this type of training.

Thans for the tips in this video bud, keep up the training!

@alkavadlo i *think* what he means is that he tried to keep his body straight instead of letting it rotate around his grip as he performed the negative, causing a static tension in his wrist. but since the ring rotates, it alleviated the problem for him.

I like how you train the 1-arm pulldown, seems like a good move to help train lats while giving biceps a rest from the compound forms of training.

@AndroidKD Android, they're all pull ups, and it's a chin up if the chin reaches the bar.

Or I guess for some people the chin has to go over, but I'd rather call those neck-ups since you can touch your neck to the bar if your chin can go over it.

Lol you look like a former inmate :P

@alkavadlo I found that my body twisted a bit on the way down. As a result, the torque in my arm and wrist affected the connective tissue. If it's not a problem for you, so much the better. I just figured the problem I had was just a bit more common. Impressive video, though. I look forward to getting back to being able to do these.
