Great advice! I got the one arm pullup by just doing regular weighted pullups. Weighted calisthenics builds raw strength, which makes learning skills super easy.

Back in high school I used to train one arm pull ups similar to the progression here with bands under the working hand, Instead I was grabbing my wrist on the working hand to assist myself. It works wonders

[nomadicstrength]

Putting the pulley as close to the working arm as possible sounds like the best approach.

He is completely right with attempts, they are what brought me to a one arm pull up in 3 weeks doing a few attempts each day. It is dangerous though so warm up for each attempt is necessary

[efteestein]

You can measure v close by standing on an old school weighing scale, and pull the band from a fixed point overhead. With the regular CrossFit style thick bands, green pulls about 25kg purple about 15kg and red around 5kg. Below that, therabands etc. I got v good results pulling 5x5’s on a single gym ring and just working down through the bands like in the video.

I wish id started working out earlier in life. Starting at 38 is a struggle.

[ihateandreykrasnokutsky]

[feikibio]

One arm pull up with the feet in the medium or small resistance band is how i got my one arm pull up.

[lilcrisjan]

Bro this is the strongest calisthenics athlete! Wowwww

[cybervoid]

Should we use a similar concept for pistol squats? Like should I try to squat my body weight + load equal to body Weight before attempting single leg pistol squats?

[DarkMatter]

For 1 arm PU’s, what rep range should we aim for before lowering the resistance over time and how frequently should we train it ?

[ddpwe]

that was great until the end where you pointed to locations on the screen and nothing popped up hehe

His approach with assisted one-arm pull-ups using bands under the working arm is genius! You're getting a lot of extra great content with the guests you're bringing on Daniel!

[ssgamer]

I want to get the arms like this guy🤩 but with a low body fat percentage

[DylanFowler]

I managed tow single arm pull ups on each arm, by working out on a fatter pull up bar than normal. Grip is everything for pull ups with better form.

How long did it take to go from being able to do a negative to doing a full 1 arm chin up?

[romero]
