Solid work buddy! I love the one arm pull up. Trying to be like Magnus Midtbo one day where I can just grab a bar at anytime and crank out 5 reps like it's nothing haha
Thank you!! I did develop bad tendinitis in my elbows when I first started training one arm specific exercises, especially the one arm pull up negative... I don't recommend that exercise for that reason. I still get tendinitis in my elbows occasionally when I'm over trained, but after some rest it goes away quickly. Other than that I never had any other injuries.
Impressive! What was your training like to get to the first pull up? Specifically with weighted pull ups. Where you training them after climbing? And how did this affect your climbing?
Thanks!! I was all over the place in the beginning with my training, but weighted pull ups were key. Doing 5 sets of weighted pull ups with a rep range of 3-6 reps is best for developing strength. Frequency should be 2-3 times per week with a deload every 4-5 weeks. One needs to be pulling very hard during the reps to get the body to adapt to strength it needs to eventually transition to a one arm pull up safely. If you can pull about 80-85% of your body weight in a 2 arm weighted pull up max then you're definitely ready for one arm specific training and may very like be able to do one with that amount of power. I did train them after climbing a lot because I was so warmed up and muscles were activated. I pretty much stopped climbing in early 2020 due to my limited access to a climbing gym, so all my progress after then was in a traditional gym or on a pull up bar in a park or at home. I always felt that I had plenty of pulling power in my back and biceps left after climbing, but my grip was spent, but holding on to a pull up bar doesn't require much grip. I felt the weighted pull ups and oap training helped my climbing a lot actually. Thanks for asking!
Great work. It is amazing what 4lbs can do. I can normally do a 1 arm at 168lbs, but at 172 after the holidays my arm doesn’t want to pull up the extra weight 😂
Super impressive and great video! Any tips on developing strength to initiate the one arm pull up, I find that part the most difficult. Also have you been training other calisthenics skills at the same time or just focusing on one arm pull ups?
Thank you! What worked for me was doing weighted pull ups, continually adding more weight until I was pulling around 80-85% of my body weight in a 2 arm weighted pull up. This builds a really strong base of pulling strength. You can start working on one arm specific pulling power and skill with a band before you're pulling that percentage. Some people can do a one arm pull up much before they are pulling 80-85% of their body weight, but that was not the case for me. I was also working on my front lever and push ups/weighted push ups the entire time. Plus I do yoga as well! Thanks for asking!
This video is awesome!
Thank you!!

Thank you! :) Magnus is crazy strong lol He was one of the first people I saw do a oap!
@@claytonpuranen yea he's a beast, he's actually the reason I started training!
@@mackeystrength He's been a big inspiration for me too! Just saw one of your OAP videos, you have a really solid OAP, you'll get to 5 in no time.
Awesome work, I want to improve my grip strength and one day maybe do one arm pull up. These videos are good!
Thank you! It takes time, but you'll get it done. Enjoy the process!
6 years of training it. Hats off thats determination!. Did you run into any elbow or shoulder overuse injuries?

Respect!
Much appreciated!
nice work! Did you experience lat growth through training for the 1 arm pull up?
Thank you! Yeah my lats definitely grew, but I was also training the front lever during that time too.
That's impressive as hell but everytime I see this move my biceps hurt for the guy. It seems like someones arm could get ripped off.
It's definitely something I think about too 😅

What your max two arm weighed pull-up
160 lbs
And you had better form at the end. What a beast!
My form in the beginning was quite something 😅 thank you!!
Great work. It is amazing what 4lbs can do. I can normally do a 1 arm at 168lbs, but at 172 after the holidays my arm doesn’t want to pull up the extra weight 😂
Thanks! Yeah, that happened to me a lot too 😂

Kinda late but one arm scap pull-ups work well
Definitely helps build shoulder strength to sustain the demand of a OAP.
