How to One Arm Pull-Up Tutorial (BEST PROGRESSIONS)

The one arm pull-up is one of the hardest bodyweight exercises you can do.
This calisthenics movement demands serious grip strength in addition to scapula stability and much more.

Today's FitnessFAQs video shows the best progressions, a complete how to tutorial for the one arm pull up. Regardless if you're a beginner or more advanced, the following progressions are the best use of your time. The finger assisted, strap assisted and archer pull-up are highly effective. We need to train unilateral pulling strength to get stronger on one arm. For those wanting to learn the one arm pull-up, weighted pullups should also be a staple in your workout program. Weighted compound exercises such as pull-ups are going to increase absolute strength capacity, very useful for the bodyweight athlete looking to transform.

The science, concepts and principles can also be applied to the one arm chin up as the progressions share the same fundamentals.

you should look into using a weight and strap. use any weight you can pass a strap through, then cinch it down so its secured and you have a long strap to toss over the bar. grab the strap on the non-weight side, and hoist it into the air, use this as counterbalance. over time you can decrease the weight until you're using just one arm. there will be friction. I have a pulley and chain that i connect to the pullup bar to help things move smoothly.

Just FYI, one arm pull ups progressions where you use just one finger of the other hand does not work well for climbers (not bruce lee, hehe), since we have stronger than average fingers. For me it feels almost as if i do regular two arm pull ups.

My guy thank you for your teachings. I’ll be sure to credit you with my results.

When I was crazy about working out I could do 2-3 reps. Only got back into working out a few months ago after taking a break for a few years, will take me a little longer to be able to do that again.
