  • @gustavwenhelseth7681
    @gustavwenhelseth7681 Před 2 lety +30

    Ever heard of the bilateral deficit? It states (and has been researched) that one arm working unilateraly is stronger than when working together with another. So even though you can only pull 0.5 bw, if you switch to one arm you can probably pull more. I know the mindfulmover tested it and found a 25% difference in force output between a single arm alone and in combination with the other arm.
    Still agree wholeheartedly about needing to be strong enough before training OAP. Cheers

    • @Mylada
      @Mylada Před 2 lety +5

      True, but you cannot compare weighed pull up directly with one arm pullup, because you are in more of a mechanically disadvantaged position in OAP.

      While this might be true, the stability of using both of your arms makes a much bigger difference than you'd think.
      Just consider comparing bench press to dumbbell press. No one can dumbbell press even half of their max bench press.
      On the other hand for something where stability plays much less of a roll, like curls, I know that with a dumbbell I can curl more than half of what I can do with an ez curl bar.
      I think the one arm pull-up is likely to be closer to the bench press side of things.

    • @gamotousername

      @GeekClimber  Před 2 lety +49

    • @sokha291
      @sokha291 Před 2 lety +2

      @@GeekClimber See this where I don’t agree 100%. I can do the one arm pull-up but can’t pull 70% of my bodyweight with both arms. I trained for the OAP during the lockdown, and I didn’t had enough weight, so only I did a lot of one arm lock offs and assisted OAP. Interestingly even though I got way stronger on one arm pulls i didn’t got a lot stronger on weighted pull ups (maybe a 10-15% increase). I think that you necessarily need to able pull 70% bodyweight before even starting to train for the OAP. Pull ups are very closely connected to OAP but there are still different movements that have different requirements. I completely agree with you that one should have a solid pulling strength before attempting the OAP but I don’t think 70% of bodyweight is a necessary.
      Maybe it’s also very specific for my case, since I’m a climber a never really did any weighted pull ups before, but because of climbing a lot gained good strength in both arms individually (e.g. I could do solid 90 degree One arm lock offs for 5-8 seconds by just climbing but at this point I could barely pull 50% bodyweight).
      I would be very interested how others feel about this as well.

    • @emiki6
      @emiki6 Před 2 lety

      @@sokha291 You don't need weights, but it's somewhat straight forward to train up your weighted pullup. FrinksmovementTV did a good investigation about it, and if I remember correctly doing pullup with 75% of BW correlates well with the ability of doing OAP. Yes, those are completely different movements but still.
      My other thought is, that lockoffs can be too intensive for the ligaments if you aren't strong. Building up strength with weighted pullups is a good way to strengthen ligaments gradually. If I didn't have to worry about my tendons etc, I would just train with weighted lockoffs, because it's very effective, but it's easy to do harm that way.

    Great video as usual and I 100% agree with you on the One Arm Pull Up / Chin Up training. Ultimatively it is my biggest dream to unlock the OAP, alongside with climbing better but I don't actively train for the OAP apart from weighted pull ups. But I do these mainly for climbing generally. Im currently at around 45%, so I still need a long way to get the OAP, but I don't obsess over it and just start properly training for it once I reach around 70% extra bodyweight

    You don't need a 70% bodyweight pull up to do a one arm pull up. It will help, but I was able to do a one arm pull up before I was strong enough to do a 70% bodyweight pull up, I believe this was mostly because I did assisted one arm pull up exercises so my body was used to doing the motions and activating enough strength on one side. I'd say if you have access to weights for a weighted pull ups, do them and add in a few assisted one arm pull up sets or one arm hangs so that you can get the one arm pull up faster. If you don't have access to weights you can still learn the one arm pull up with just bodyweight exercises.

  • @moqensen
    @moqensen Před 2 lety +12

    Awesome work man! Two things. Your latissimus dorsi actually originates on the iliac crest on the ilium (your hip) as well as vertebrae T7-L5 (the highest points of your lower back towards the middle back). So when you talk about having engaged the muscles on the lower part of your back to make sure the lats is engaged, I think you actually just feel the lowest part of your lats flexing. Secondly, talking about pullups engaging the lats more than chinups is probably not correct. You have a greater degree of shoulder abduction and extension through the range of motion on a chinup than on a pullup. This should activate the lats more throughout the range of motion. The pullup will - thanks to your elbows being out from your body thoughout a large portion of the lift - engage (besides lats of course) muscle such as middle and lower trapezius and rhomboideus. It is correct however that biceps plays a larger part in the chinup than the pullups thanks to the supinated grip and larger elbow flexion.

    It's been about a year since I began my own calisthenics journey, and I'm coming back to this video after having achieved the one arm chin up on rings myself, with both arms even.
    To make it short, I think training for one arm chin ups is most optimal on rings, just lower one of the rings and you're good to go. I simply did 3 sets of 5 for both arms, alternating right and left, only twice a week (i always do one day of cardio between two workout sessions, and I have two routines that I always alternate, so I have a workout that includes OACU practice only two times every 5 days), this is mainly because it was high intenisty low rep traning, so I have to leave enough time for my muscles to recover and to avoid tendonitis (which I've done successfully)
    Honestly, I think that the OACU is the easiest advanced calisthenics move one can learn, as opposed to planches, lever skills, crosses, and so on, it is fairly isolative (mainly your biceps and lat) so there are not too many form cues that you have to pay attention to, so practicing becomes eaiser and there's was less opportunities to make mistakes.
    P.S. If you feel like attempting your first OACU, please do a quick warmup set of uneven chinups on rings for the arm youre gonna try it with (not too high intenisty, just enough to get some blood into your arms, but it cant bee to easy either!), not only will it prepare your muscles and increase chances of success, it will also reduce the risk of injury, it was the key thing I needed to do my first rep.

I am 73kg, so i should be doing pulls up with roughly 55kg (75%), but i dont train them that often, and my max is 35 (its possible to be 40, but i dont remember). And yet, a couple of days ago, i randomly tried the one arm pull up with both hands, and i got 99% of the motion done perfectly, from complete dead hang (only 2/3cm werent enough for my chin to be above the bar). So yeah i dont know why this happens. Before i used to train a lot of the exercises that the mainstream calisthenics athletes propose (archer pulls, negatives, also band-assisted OAP weighted pulls and actually i did a lot of australian one arm pulls ups)

    Because I do this as a climber.
    I train it by hanging from a seeling and putting my legs in very slow pace to exact stones.
    Another thing I like to do is doing dynamic moves and in the moment I have the grip I try to counter the impact of the Dino. It's difficult to explain but it's a full body think. You basically engage every muscle in your body for less than a sec to counter your Dyno movement.
    I do this because I observed it in a few climbers while seeing them in slow motion

    You will easily achieve a one arm pull before pulling an additional 70% of your body weight, however does make sense building strength first as it will limit injury. I weigh 70kg and can at the moment do 8 pullup with additional 30kg attached to my belt. 70% for me is an additional 49kg. As I've just got a replacement belt and haven't done a weighted training for a while know, I'll be aiming for 49kg over the course of 12week

      @GeekClimber  Před 2 lety +5

      I didn't attempt the OAC on the bar yet, but based on the theory, it will be very difficult to get out of the dead hang, but it will be pretty easy to do the second half of the movement. I guess if there's enough interest I will learn it and make a video about it.

    Actualy you dont need a +70% bodyweigth pull up to train one arm pull up, i get the one arm pull up without doing a single weigted pull up. Its just different moves with different techniques.

      Not doing weighted pull ups doesnt mean you don't have the strength to do one with 70% bodyweight which is the requirement he is talking about to be able to do a 1armer
      When I started climbing I could do 1 pull up, didn't train pull ups a single time, now can do ~20 and one with ~60% BW when I tested

      The grip induces changes in shoulder rotation, therefore in lat activation. Also, forearm position alone (even if you assume that it doesn't result in shoulder rotation) influences biceps contribution, therefore the relative lat activation

    • @masterleon40
      @masterleon40 Před 2 lety

      @@samuelstromei-cleroux3419 but it's the shoulder rotation what makes the lats change in activation. And the grip change makes the biceps more or less active, but as long as the shoulders are externally rotated the lats will have the same activation, just that the movement will be easier because same lats activation + more bicep activation = more total power output.

  • @clarkreimer9448

    I'm curious what you think: if one is waiting to start a OAP program until they can get 70% BW weighted pull-up, why not keep going and get to 100% before starting to learn the technique?

    • @alexvat1995
      @alexvat1995 Před 2 lety

      Honestly you can start training oap/oac as soon as you get a couple of pull ups (as long as you use a regressed exercise). The reason being is that you want to start strengthening the body unilaterally as early as possible. The biomechanical motion is not the same for weighted chins/pulls compared to one arm motions so his math doesn't really work. It's just that it is beneficial to have a lot of raw power in the bank, it's easier to progress that way.
      And also there is barely any technique involved, your body will solve the technique riddle by itself if the strength is there, you are talking about a couple of procent if not less when you are speaking of technique in the oap/oac.

    @tariqrasul7169 Před 2 lety

    The 70% extra bodyweight pullup is much more tangible strength goal that I think I'll try aiming for that first before attempting any one arm pull up work and see how far that goes. Lol just calculated that I can barely do 20%. Yikes...long way to go...

    • @gezzapk

  • @andrewscott5059
    @andrewscott5059 Před 2 lety +3

    So you're totally right that people should get their 2 arm weighted numbers up around 70+% BW added before attempting OAP/C, but your reasoning doesn't make any sense. if you do the same mechanical math you did for 50% with 70, it still shows the person is incapable of doing it (they would need another 15% instead of 25% but that's still very substantial). that difference in strength comes from muscles that are difficult to utilize in 2 arm pullups, but are usable in OAP's. I am not sure of the particulars of these muscle groups (I'm an engineer, not a kinesiologist) but it is at least theoretically feasible for somebody to do a OAP with only being able to do a weighted pullup for 50% BW. Certainly unlikely, given the two largest muscles, your biceps and lats, are the same between one-arm pulling and two-arm, but possible nonetheless.

      ​@@pablolagos9713 Then even more so his logic makes no sense. Almost anything you train for you don't start with the strength to do, so why then is claiming you don't have the strength to do it a reasonable argument for why you shouldn't start training it yet?

    • @nerychristian
      @nerychristian Před 2 lety

      True. I weigh 195. If I use one arm to pull myself up, that one arm needs to be able to lift 195. Doesn't matter how much you can lift with two arm pullup. It really doesn't translate to the one arm pullup. It's a completely different exercise. I thought I was pretty strong with two arms. But I can't even move an inch with one arm. Just remaining stable with one arm takes time. The best way to train for the OAP is to use resistance bands.

    • @GeekClimber
      @GeekClimber  Před 2 lety +1

      Intuitively, 15% pull from the opposite side sounds feasible to me, but of course it's at the very boundary of sounding not feasible. Does it sound completely impossible to you? Some post on Reddit r/bodyweightfitness even claimed that someone can do a one arm pull up with only 62% extra BW pull up www.reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness/comments/1ath1v/i_did_a_casual_study_on_the_correlation_between/.

    Remember than everyone is different and negatives do in fact help, but it only works for some people. Don’t disregard things Iike the weighted pull up etc, but i can see why you wouldn’t want to do too much archers or negative as those have higher risk of injury. However, it is best not to disregard them as exercises and it would be better to phrase these exercises as overrated or to warn your audience of the risks involved as many people would probably misinterpret your intentions. Edit: my god i tried your tip about the crossing of the legs behind, and it was so much easier, this goes to show that you have the knowledge to give advice but I’m sure its just the phrasing that is a little wonky lol

    • @GeekClimber
      @GeekClimber  Před 2 lety +3

      Where did I say to disregard weighted pull up? Weighted pull up is literally one of the most important exercises to build the baseline strength for the one arm pull/chin up. I also didn't completely disregard negatives, if you watched my negative video, you will see that I still do negatives on the way down instead of jumping off whenever I do a positive rep.
      That tip is largely inspired by Simonster Strength, so go watch his video and sub to him to thank him lol. His videos are pretty good, but he doesn't get a lot of views for some reason.
