One Arm Chin-up

brachii Posts: 79 Joined: 2007/02/26	2007/03/02, 02:19 PM For me in particular how do you train yourself to be able to do one arm chin-ups? Me i can't even do one, if i can't do one, is there any way at all you can train yourself to be able to do one arm chin-ups? Should i try and hang on the bar for as long as i can, that might improve my grip strength, but would that be enough to be able to do atleast 1 OAC?

	2007/03/04, 10:43 AM Wait you cant do any 2handed pull ups/chins? if you cant then check wrestlers progression. If you are referring to not being able to do OAC then head over to the link I posted. http://www.beastskills.com/OneArmPull.htm This has been one of my goals for a while. Very fun to train also. Minus the tendinitis which you need to be on the look out for and take necessary breaks from time to time.

wrestler125 Posts: 4,619 Joined: 2004/01/27	2007/03/04, 02:29 PM There are progressions on the page Vel posted for a OAC. It would help to be able to do a good number with added weight first before moving onto other progressions. Unless you can do 30+ regular chin ups and chin ups with 3/4 your bodyweight in extra weight, then you're not close enough to be worrying about fancy training techniques yet. -------------- Gravity hates you.
