Training 1 arm pull ups

[TricksterBee]

So yea I saw a video of a guy that did 8 one arm pull ups on each arm. It inspired me to train them.

My question is, how would one go about training their weaker arm, in my case left arm. I can barely get half way, but can do 6 on my right arm. :eh:

EDIT- Here it is, not up to Yuri's standards (Or 6)... yet... :smile:

BTW, that is my training song lol :juji:

[Inkrepid]

I was going to help you until you said that you can do 6 on your right arm. Post proof of said feat now, lest you be called out as a fool and a liar.

[Colonel]

One armed pull ups only count if one arms on the bar, and the other arm is hanging by your side, you cant grab onto your pullup arm with your free arm.

[compleks]

Yeah, hold up. How are you doing your '1-arm pull ups'?

If you can infact do 6 'real' one armed pulls I would be very impressed.

That aside, one good way of training one arm chins is by using a rope to assist yourself. Basically, you take a rope and tie one end to your chinup bar letting the rest of the rope hang down towards the ground.
Take your normal grip on the bar with the arm you wish to train predominantly, and place your other grip on the rope. The closer towards the bar you hold (on the rope) the easier the exercise. So start with an easier grip and work your hand lower and lower down the rope over time. Continue this progression until you can do an unassisted one arm chin.

Obviously you will need to work within the right parameters for gaining strength to maximize your results. You could also utilize other methods to achieve the same goal.

Man it's Christmas day and I'm shut away in my room browsing TT. Time to go and eat some more food :)

[TricksterBee]

Yes I can do 6 REAL one arm pull ups, I got gym this saturday, Ill tape it then, any shoutouts to prove its me/ real?

thanks for the tips

[BboyAgua]

Scream "LONG DONG SILVER SHIVERS ME TIMBERS YO HO HO AND A FINGER UP MINED BUM"

Then whip out ur dick, slap someone in the face with it, stick a finger up yourned ass and spin around 3 times. Otherwise it's not legit.

You could say "i did for bboyagua and the lulz"

[compleks]

That's very impressive.

Can you flash some obscene gang signs? Mainly so you look like a goose in public though ;)

[Jackamaideshwang]

thats very impressive. Thats all i've been trying to do since i broke my arm. I'm using a pulldown machine one handed and doing maximum weight about 4 or 5 reps, seemed to be going great - increased 15-20 kg's in a week in and a bit (alot was probably getting back strength though) untill i started doing 50 one armed ones with my feet acting as a lever -was sore as hell, but obviously no strength increase so dont do that.

[Skippy]

If you can already do 6 on one arm, you do not need out help lolol.

[n3m3s1s]

beastskills.com :good:

[Inkrepid]

Yeah i figured if you could indeed do 6, then you don't need help anyways. beastskills.com is the best authority on the subject imo though, so check it out.

[TricksterBee]

Left hand s really hard though, I can barely do half of one...

[Yuri]

I find this really hard to believe. try branling with the other arm to get it stronger

>2 one arm pullups is pretty elite and I don't recall you being particularly strong. either that or you have very skinny legs which is what helps most people who do one arm chins

anyway, what complex said is a good way to train one arm pullups. you can also try using a theraband or bungee cord instead of rope for some added difficulty

I await your video

[TricksterBee]

Ok, I wall make it on saturday, what does skinny legs have to do with anything, I don't think I have skinny legs though, my calves and thighs are pretty decent/big

[Yuri]

skinny legs make one arm pullups much easier

for pullups leg mass is just dead weight

most people who can do one arm pullups have skinny legs

[TricksterBee]

How can you tell if you have skinny legs or not?

[Skippy]

Look at them I guess.

[tdmonster]

skinny legs make one arm pullups much easier

for pullups leg mass is just dead weight

most people who can do one arm pullups have skinny legs

I've noticed since doing squats my pull ups have gone to shit. :tongue:

[Yuri]

oh yea, most male gymnasts have skinny legs as well. It is advantageous, as leg mass is dead weight for most of the events.

it only makes sense. the ideal build for it lean with skinny legs

[BboyAgua]

Bigger factor than leg size = height.

[TBoyd]

I'm very skeptical that you can do 6 with your right arm. Post a video, prove all of us wrong, yet I doubt you will. You probably have fairly average legs. I love when people make threads just to put in a thinly veiled brag.

[frozenpeon]

The one arm pull up is a really hard skill. I find it hard to imagine how you can do 6 of them with the right arm and can't do 1 with the left one. If that would be the case, you would probably have one arm bigger than the other.

I also started to train the one arm chin up this summer. My 1 rm weighted chin up are at 115 lb for now and I weight 185. The one arm chin up seems impossible for me since I keep gaining mass in my legs.

You can also do negative pull ups if you are strong enaugh to do them properly. By properly I mean that you can lower yourself slowly.

[TricksterBee]

wow all you doubters man, my arms are equal in length, I will show in the video on saturday, I will also do the shoutout to agua too, and the doubters. :)

[TBoyd]

The internet always has doubters, you just have to have proof to shut em up :)

[Yuri]

i don't know
based on your youtube page i figure if you could do something this impressive you would have already put it up, then you could get praise/scorn from all the wannabe fitness gurus on youtube


doubt doubt doubt

[tricker383]

Yer im finding this quite sceptical
Plus yuri knows his shit so untill yuri is satisfied i wont be either haha. Im waiting for yuri to get satisfied lol

[TricksterBee]

Im gonna do mine on rings though...

[Yuri]

that's fine, rings still counts just the same

i am waiting to be proven wrong

[TricksterBee]

just to specify, what counts as one...

[Skippy]

A pull up done with one arm with no assistance from the other arm. You said you can do 6, I will be happy with 3 :]

[ninjohn22]

Thinly veiled brag haha I was thinking the same thing. I am skeptical but if you can mad props! But I too am not satisfied unless Yuri is satisfied

[Yuri]

just to specify, what counts as one...

mwell by regular pullup standards going from a dead hang(arms locked) to your chin over the bar or having the bar at the chest level(arms as fully flexed as will allow), and going back down in a controlled manner, all without the use of leg drive

however with a one arm chin I would be more lenient on range of motion and leg drive because of the difficulty of the maneuver
no help from the other arm is an obvious one, also to do 6 in a row you should not let go of the bar at any time during your set

so basically going from hang, to chin over the bar, and back down
like I said, with one arm I would give you some leeway compared to regular chins

[TricksterBee]

Ok, I'll make sure I do it that way. :tongue:

[[RozoN]]

What the hell!? How can you do 6 with your right arm and none with your left arm?!? That's just nonsense...

[Skippy]

I strongly sense a "oh I could only do one today" or a "my cam broke today" thread coming soon.

[TricksterBee]

well I took a video today, but it's only 5 1/2

and it doesnt follow yuri's way... :eh:

[Skippy]

UPLOAD TEH CLIPS

[TricksterBee]

I'd rather wait till saturday, so I can do it better.

Unless you wanna find my facebook, then add me to watch it lol :punched:

[Hez]

Holy ass cut with the cryptic crap and post it here =p I've been following this for a while and I'm getting desperate to call bullshit so I think you need to post a video >_>

[Skippy]

I'd rather wait till saturday, so I can do it better.

Unless you wanna find my facebook, then add me to watch it lol :punched:


Post it, then post a better one on saturday. Seriously, don't be dogging us on this haha, because even 6 half one arm pull ups I'd be impressed with.

[TricksterBee]

Fine, Fine

I forgot to say this is Tricksterbee, but I did mention you guys

[Yuri]

what's your facebook? I want to glance at this video

[TricksterBee]

It's processing right now, I uploaded it on Youtube...


EDIT- Here it is, not up to Yuri's standards... yet... :smile:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ba1sjDVHyfo

BTW, that is my training song lol :juji:

[Skippy]

What the fuck, just saw it, majorly impressed!

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ba1sjDVHyfo

[Skippy]

Why do you even need our help with shit like that haha, teach yourself the other arm!

[compleks]

Haha, awesome! That will teach us all for doubting.

I don't think you need our help at all. I'm not sure you even understand just how difficult one arm chins are for most people.

Oh, you forgot to flash any gang signs. But I'm going to forgive you because the music was so perfect.

[TricksterBee]

I guess I don't understand how hard they are, that was my 4th time doing 1 arm pull ups, I've only showed it to people 3 times before that, now I'm gonna start training them more.

I just know 1 was a piece of cake :juji:

I suck at gang signs lol

I know the music is perfect!

[Yuri]

well done

I have been proven wrong

not great form but it will do

I just find it hard to believe you haven't posted this yet it is quite a difficult feat to accomplish

did you even train for it or just tried it once and found you were good at one arm pullups with one of your arms
one good thing to do is assess your limiting factor in your weak hand. find out whether it is your grip, bicep, lat, combo, etc that is holding you back and strengthen it

[frozenpeon]

Hahaha...I don't even know what to say. That's really fucking impressive. Even if it doesn't follow Yuri's standard, it's still 5 reps!

[compleks]

Even doing 1, 1-arm pull up is pretty much impossible for most people. That's why everyone here had their doubts.

I spent about 6 months training for these and still didn't get anywhere close.

I'm jealous that you can do them so effortlessly.

[TricksterBee]

I didn't post for such a long time, I wanted to get 8+ reps before I posted it on Youtube... :eh:

I was conditioning one day at gym practice, and I thought I'd try a one arm pull up, and I did it, it was really easy for me lol :juji:

I will try & go for 6+ tomorrow with cleaner form :juji:

And thank you for the advice

[TBoyd]

I am impressed as hell. Tricksterbee, forgive me for ever doubting you. You are now AWESOME in my book. You are also strong.

[TricksterBee]

Thanks Everyone!

Now I need to work on my tricking >_<

lol

I feel exactly the same way

spent a good amount training one arm pullups. made insignificant progress and I am still nowhere near being able to do one

I've met maybe a couple people who could do this, and plenty more people that say they used to be able to but show no evidence

all I can say is keep working these, you could pull some sick shit

[frozenpeon]

one good thing to do is assess your limiting factor in your weak hand. find out whether it is your grip, bicep, lat, combo, etc that is holding you back and strengthen it

This question may sound a bit stupid but..how can we find that?

[Skippy]

One arm muscle up lololol

[TricksterBee]

One arm muscle up lololol

Impossible, muscle up, parkour way or gymnastics way?

If gymnastics, still impossible :tongue:

[Yuri]

This question may sound a bit stupid but..how can we find that?

It is a very good question. you would need very good self-awareness

the best way I can think is to do one arm pullup(you can use rope/bungee assist) with the weak arm trying hard and figuring out what is the most tired out. I can't really explain this in an elegant way, but you have to know yourself



one arm muscle up:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xj48SlxgU1Q

[Skippy]

I've seen a one arm muscle up to handstand on youtube, but he used severe momentum haha, was still majorly impressive, was a circus dude =] I'm sure if you browse you'll be able to find it.

edit: yuris in there

[TricksterBee]

wtf....

I'd love to be able that, my balance sucks BAD, once I get better at balancing, I'll work on that!!

[[RozoN]]

The only thing going through my mind right now is: what the fuck?! How the fuck?! wTF!? How the fuck!?!...

[TricksterBee]

;1138634']The only thing going through my mind right now is: what the fuck?! How the fuck?! wTF!? How the fuck!?!...

Simple, just go for it, then try it some more, you'd be suprised what your body can do, I was! :tongue:

Mind over Matter baby

[compleks]

I just attempted to do a 1-arm chin, just incase by some some miracle I had developed a ridiculous amount of strength without realising.

I have not... Can't even pull myself out of the bottom.

[TricksterBee]

It was worth a try, right? :wink:

[Yuri]

hahahaha yes I tried a one arm chin a couple hours ago just to see if everything is still intact

it is, my one arm chin strength is right where I left it, just slightly higher than hanging

[frozenpeon]

hahaha I can't even unlock my elbow each time I try to 1 arm chin.

One question: Do weighted chin ups alone will allow me to eventually be able to 1 arm chin? Or Do I really need to add some 1 arm chin specific exercice( as described by compleks for example)?

[TricksterBee]

Ask the experts, not me, I just tried them one day and they were easy for me... :eh:

[Honken]

Frozenpeon: Start doing weighted, do one handers and add weight to them as well.

[frozenpeon]

Frozenpeon: Start doing weighted, do one handers and add weight to them as well.
I have been doing weighted chins since this summer. I'm now at +115 lb. I guess I still need to work on that before moving to all those 1 arm specific exercices. I can't even do a neg 1 arm chin properly.


Ask the experts, not me, I just tried them one day and they were easy for me... :eh:
Haha, I wasn't asking to you..even if you are the only one who can do them.

[TricksterBee]

Oh sorry >_<

[BboyAgua]

You are all fucking noobs. Bow to my God skills:

0wK4R5rXXrA

Ok so I only filmed it. But I talked to cisqo a lot about his beast skills. For one thing, cisqo is 120 lbs and about 5 feet. What I did learn though, is that the mechanics of 1 arm pullups shift a lot from the COG and pully axis shift. In other words, weighted pullups don't help much. 1-arm pullups are much more about GRIP strength and CORE strength than back. Much like how iron crosses look like lat strength, but when you do them correctly (elbows facing ceiling) it becomes almost exclusively CORE with a little rear delts and grip. 1 armed chins are more like a 1-armed kip, and you get a better picture of that from Yuri's posted video. No matter how slow you do them, your wrists have to initiate the pull on each inch of the climb. ROPE CLIMBING, and any other form of climbing for that matter is really an amazing way to develop the grip and core coordination to pull these off.

I feel bad for you guys who trained these without results haha. At least you still gained strength, just not the kind you wanted.

[Yuri]

did you also talk to cisqo about the thong song? I would love to see more footage of him, is there more other than this and his one arm pullups and front lever pulls on the bar?

I wouldn't call the iron cross or one arm chin a core exercise though, especially iron cross. Yes, engaging your core will give you more strength in the movement but no real pressure is being applied to the core(this applies more to cross than OAC). there is definitely much upper body strength required
it does hold though that training one limb movements will make your two limbed movements better, but not the other way around

[Inkrepid]

I stand thoroughly proven wrong. In fact, I'm pretty freaking happy I was. I'm quite amazed by your skill and strength tbh. Obviously you've got some form issues. Maybe your left sides form is even worse which might prevent you from doing them. I'd say start working your form and try to get good form on both sides and see if that helps. Granted I can't do a single one, but from what I've read form seems pretty important.

[k-slash]

I could 1 armed pullup when I was 16 haha, I got them by basically gripping the bar with 2 hands, and doing a pullup, then taking one arm away an dholding my body up with 1 hand as long as physically possible and keep trying to pull as your body slowly comes down.

The more and more I did that, the easier it was to stay up with 1 hand, and the longer I could stay holding the bar as I went down.

Then I just tried going down a little bit and pulling harder to go up slightly, and it worked.

I did this for ages and eventually got one full one. But then I got lazy and did fuck all for 2 years, strength wise. I used to have a semi decent 1 handed handstand too, and now my right wrist hurts too much to even handstand anymore :sad:

Also, fucking well done man, I'm impressed! Thats a weird natural strength you have there, you must train it!

[TricksterBee]

Yes, apparently it's all grip & core strength, so I'm gonna train more on it.

I can have good form, that bar was just small. I can do it on rings much cleaner.

You'll see tomorrow

[TBoyd]

I'd have to drop squats and milk to have any chance of doing these. I can barely get halfway up on my right arm. F going off of squats and milk though.

[Sk8nFlip]

Hmmmmm i can do 1 arm pull ups but ive been slacking lately.....I might post..

[TricksterBee]

Quoting Yuri...

doubt doubt doubt

[Sk8nFlip]

LOL ur not ready LOL!!!!! take it this way ill do 3 on each arm with way better form than u..and im cuter than u so i win..hehe :wink:

[BboyAgua]

Yes, apparently it's all grip & core strength, so I'm gonna train more on it.

I can have good form, that bar was just small. I can do it on rings much cleaner.

You'll see tomorrow

Being small and strong ftw. I'm gonna have to masturbate a lot more and chop off my legs to catch up. I think we should keep the handstand contest thing alive too. Your hollowback was really good, but so far no one has challenged my hand balancing.

did you also talk to cisqo about the thong song? I would love to see more footage of him, is there more other than this and his one arm pullups and front lever pulls on the bar?

I wouldn't call the iron cross or one arm chin a core exercise though, especially iron cross.

it does hold though that training one limb movements will make your two limbed movements better, but not the other way around

I still maintain that core and grip is the limiting factor. Yes you need strong shoulders and lats, but not more so than a strict wide arm pull up. It may seem silly buy hip rotation is actually a primary stabalizer in crosses and OACs if done correctly. Try fucking with your form a little. You might already know that L-sit crosses are easier than regular crosses. The pike shifts your COG backwards making you internally rotate your shoulders and hips, in effect, it's more Maltese than Victorian, which help considering Victorians are almost impossible. Of course beast mode people don't really need to cross one way or another. But for people who CAN'T cross or OAC, working strict lats and delts are often not the easiest path to victory, as many of you learned by failure. One person who really utilizes his core dominance and his technique to save strength is Jovtchev, watch how internally rotated his shoulders are on so many of his skills:

6x4N0AVbjRY

Cisco did do some fucking amazing 1 armed rope climbing (no legs), which I'd love to dig up if I can find it. He really has a very limited arsenal haha as all he does is climb. But he does look awesome with platinum colored hair on the beach singing about butt floss.

[Hez]

Really really impressed man, and glad you showed us all wrong. Keep working it, like yuri said, can't let that level of natural strength go to waste =D

[Honken]

Love when people watch the clip but doesn't read the text. That wasn't him.

[Hez]

Love when people watch the clip but doesn't read the text. That wasn't him.

People are talking about the 1 handed pull ups, not the freakin 1h muscle ups. Ofc that's not a TT member doing 1h muscle up to 1h handstand on a fuckin' bar haha.

[tricker383]

WTF:shocked::dead::tongue: wow trickerbee just wow

[Honken]

People are talking about the 1 handed pull ups, not the freakin 1h muscle ups. Ofc that's not a TT member doing 1h muscle up to 1h handstand on a fuckin' bar haha.

I'm talking about the first clip with the pullups. That wasn't him either.

[frozenpeon]

There is a clip of him at page 5.

[Torre]

It says it's FOR his friend, not that it's him.

[Hez]

I'm talking about the first clip with the pullups. That wasn't him either.

Uhh "TricksterBee: This was for TT & my friend Connor" according to video description.

Pretty sure it's him :tongue: it looks like him from his stretching pics and stuff too.

[TricksterBee]

LOL ur not ready LOL!!!!! take it this way ill do 3 on each arm with way better form than u..and im cuter than u so i win..hehe :wink:

I can do much better form on Rings, that bar had no grip whatsoever, which means it's kinda slippery, plus I had no room anyway... :eh:


Being small and strong ftw. I'm gonna have to masturbate a lot more and chop off my legs to catch up. I think we should keep the handstand contest thing alive too. Your hollowback was really good, but so far no one has challenged my hand balancing.

Sure why not, I was at my friends house today, sessioning, and I got better hollows. :tongue:

I can backflip to turtle now, elbow to turtle, I wanna try backflip to split :dead:

I didnt bring a camera at practice today to do the Ring pull ups, but thanks to your advice, I held 4 Iron Crosses today by myself, 3 of them being 1~2 SECONDS.

I will tape them both next Monday or Wednesday... :tongue:

I'm talking about the first clip with the pullups. That wasn't him either.

I said it was for my friend Connor because he wanted a shoutout too... :eh:

BTW, do I REALLY look like a Connor, or Terrell?

I mean c'mon...

perhaps I may challenge your hand balancing, though I have been slacking a bit lately

for one arm pullup grip is a huge factor, but I don't think it plays as big a role in ring skills as many strength skills are false gripped anyway. Certainly involving your grip to the max will make skills easier
of course working strict lats and delts won't get you a cross as the strength for it is very specific. I would like to add that elbows are a big deal in cross as well. Still, it's one of those moves that you probably won't be able to do unless you've trained specifically for it

the bulgarians are all very short with short arms to match which helps with leverage on the rings
with that being said, jovtchev is inhuman

one arm rope climb:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPHy732TwEY&feature=channel_page

the thong song came out when I was in 7th or 8th grade, and I thought it was the best thing ever
I still know all the words...

[Kay]

Ok so i watched your Vid and thought to myself " Shit, I dunt know why all these people are whining that looks easy ".

So i went to my pull up bar and i grabbed it with my one arm, and i tried to pull.
I huffed and puffed, and scream and growled but still i stayed there with my arm fully straightened not even with the slightest lift. At that moment I hated you!

lol But in all realness i think that's pretty fucking impressive, to be able to do 5.
Although there's no doubt u weight much lighter then me (198lbs) but i still give u Mad props.

Keep that shit up, I know i am!

[TricksterBee]

Yea, I don't weigh that much...

I'm 17, and 128~131 lbs, it varies

[Kay]

Yea, I don't weigh that much...

I'm 17, and 128~131 lbs, it varies

Im also 17 lol

our weight difference is quite big lol

[TricksterBee]

I'm 5'4 1/2" if that makes a difference

[Kay]

I'm 5'4 1/2" if that makes a difference

Yeh sure does, Im 6ft1ish

[ninjohn22]

wow Im impressed! Thats so hard to do let alone rep it

I mean c'mon...

Dude, nice work! I used to have sick hollows but tore my rotator cuff and can't em cuz of the pain. I can still do side hollows sorta cuz it only stretches my left shoulder, so throw in w/e kind of hollows you got.

And Yuri, nice job finding moar Cisco. That one arm rope climb is silly. I was the only one at the NY gathering who could even hold myself with one hand on the rope. Please do some hand balancing! I've been slacking too and really need the motivation. Let's make strength skills in tricking in vogue ^^

She had dumps like a truck truck truck
Thighs like what what what

[TricksterBee]

i only got regular & 2 legged hollows lol

[Yuri]

baby move your butt butt butt

sing it again?

I will see if I can resurrect the handstand thread sometime. I only have tomorrow to do it then I am leaving for two weeks...

[Kriasi]

The vid is gone :( Upload again ffs broseph

[TricksterBee]

I wanna upload a better one..

[Ashtar]

One question: Do weighted chin ups alone will allow me to eventually be able to 1 arm chin? Or Do I really need to add some 1 arm chin specific exercice( as described by compleks for example)?If you can do a 2-arm chin with your bodyweight in additional weight strapped to you, it stands to reason you have the strength required to do a 1-arm chin with just bodyweight. There would be differences in form specific to 1-arm chinning but they're probably not that difficult.

Doing those 1-arm specific exercises compleks suggested is much less of a hassle than strapping 150-200lbs of weights to yourself so you'd probably be casually messing around with those anyway.

I notice with the vids I've seen of 1-arms (beastskills) that the elbow seems to come in more, sort of like how the knee seems to come in more during pistol squats. It makes me wonder, do you think the pec gets recruited more or something? I'm going to try squeezing a medicine ball between my elbows during a close-grip 2-arm chin to see if that's similar...

[BboyAgua]

I tried 1 arm pull ups for the first time today and got pretty excited when my head touched the bar. I whipped out my camera and did significantly worse. I think I will be working on these now =]
