I can barely do 3 proper pullups with good form, but I'm working on it. When you're heavy they're hard to do!

I would have to hold 500 balloons to do one rep with one arm. I have never seen one done. I wonder if it's a real dead hang going all the way up?

Regular ones are hard enough once you are over 200lbs.
I remember being able to do them endlessly when I weighed 145lbs.
One arm ones are out of the question for me right now.

It should not be much rarer than a double bodyweight bench. But not many train pull ups like crazy.

Most guys who can do this have legs that fit into any skinny jeans
