One armed pullup/chinup training resumes
I found this website on the one arm chinup/pullup, http://www.beastskills.com/OneArmPull.htm, which gives some great training tips. The interview with Jack Arnow was very fascinating. I decided to try to judge my progress with some weighted two handed chins. I strapped on 75 lbs to a dip belt and did one with a little struggle. So I strapped on 110 lbs and made my way up to the chinup bar. I would hate to fall or slip with 110 extra pounds strapped around my midsection/hanging between my legs. It just doesn’t seem like the odds are in my favor with that much weight hanging on me.
Despite the risks, I gave it a shot and lowered down. With my initial pull, I quickly realized that we were dealing with a lot of weight. And I mean a lot of weight. So I pulled like my life depended on it and got one with 110 lbs strapped on. So 60 more pounds and I might be really close. I need to find another way to add weight because hanging it from a dip belt isn’t safe and comprimises your lower back. Anyhow, it gave me a good impression of what kind of pull will be needed to do a one hander later.
