Can anyone do a one arm pullup?

Can anyone here do an honest one arm pullup? At my gym, there has only been one guy that has ever done this. He only did one rep as well. I guess it would be comparable to doing a normal pullup with nearly your body weight attached to a weight belt chain.

Well actually I have witnessed Vieope do several of these... in fact... and a lot may not believe me... but when he was around the 185lb mark I saw him do a chin up with one pinky finger. No @#%$... I was 4 feet away from him when he did it.

I ALSO watched him do one arm chin ups off a pole that ran along the ceiling of a strip club. Imagine the dancer on stage and Vieope in the background doing one arm chin ups. It was HILARIOUS.

I heard that John H. does one arm chin ups with a 50lb dumbell strapped to his penis. Wether these are from a full hang or not it is very impressive.

there is some strange ratio like 1 out of every 10 or 12 peoeple can do a real true one arm pull up (someone was telling me this before). It has to do with specific genetic biomechanics. I can't remeber what it was exactly.

For some reason this almost reminds me of a 2x BW bench press. There are many ways to easily gain weight, but it usually takes time to build up to doing either one. However, I don't think many people could just naturally do the bench, whereas I'm sure some can just do a one arm pull up fairly easily.

It all about strength to weight ratio, cut off my legs and I can do them all day.

One arm pushups are a different story to one arm pullups...
