Can anyone do a one arm pullup?

[snoogans]

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.

nope. It seems that I can do pulldowns with more than my bodyweight, but pullups are a different story altoghether!

What the hell is up with all these one arm threads?

 

[Tough Old Man]

shit I can only do 4-5 using both hands

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.

I can barely do a regular pull up. Woe is me.

When did you see me do this?

I can do one arm pullups, i useta do them on the day i do biceps.

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.

 

[Spitfire]

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

 

[Squaggleboggin]

Good idea.

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