Can any of you do a one armed chin up?

[Swedish Viking]

If so, how did you get started?  With negatives?

[G.R.H.]

stop spamming this video , its not healthy to be watchign the tanned one do her dance because she is like 14 i think ... the white one OK whatever because i just laugh but the tanned one is prison bait

forget chinups, i wana know what the fuck you're smoking

When I was 210ish I could knock out 2-3 one arm chins. Now I just tried it at 230 and could only get 1/2 a rep .

While negatives helped, I found adding isometric stops to regular chin-ups helped my chin up strength the most. Basically, I'd cut a chin up rep into 3 segments(bottom-middle-top), at each stop/segment I'd tense and hold for a few seconds.

Once those became easy, I found it was easy to transition into one-armed chin-ups.

I don't think anyone in the history of getbig can do a one arm chin up, in my life I've only seen one guy 115 pound gynest from Korea, anybody that claims needs to prove it and BTW your second hand can't hold on to your arm, it has to be on your side, or else anyone can that.

Statistically speaking, very few can do it.

  You just made my day.  I'm 200lbs and thought I was too heavy.  I'm starting work on that asap.

Can't do it.
Friend of mine can - is a rock-climber.

[JasonH]

I've never tried it but I'm prety damn sure I couldn't do it.

I can do sets of 6-8 with them.
The variation I use isn't 100% one-arm chin-ups, as I wrap my non-working arm around the hand holding the bar.

This counts as two arm chin

Never really said it was a true one arm did I?

As strong as you are, with your YouTube clips, can you even do ONE chin-up as I do it for 6?

Why are you angry? You can do 6 chin ups? good for you.

[YoungBlood]

Who said I was angry?
All I did was ask if you can do one.
As far as chin-ups, traditional style as you see everyone else do, I can do 12-15 from a dead hang between each rep.
Then again, maybe I come off as mad by posting that too?

Sorry maybe I misunderstood you, 15 chin ups in good form is good

I can do 12-15 dead hang chins, with good form and zero jerking.
I can do sets of 8 with the one hand chin, non-working arm grabbing my working wrist, for (right now) 3 sets.
All clarified now, I guess.
