Learning THE ONE ARM PULL UP with Magnus Midtbø

[@magmidt]

You will do the one arm pull up in no time, and so will everyone who watch this video!

[@rockentry]

Looking forward to it! 🙌🔥

[@BoulderingHighlights]

Planche next? also 8:25 interesting!

[@timkilian7140]

I feel that I am almost there, but having trouble to do the upper part. I am a bit sad that there was way more focus on the lower part than the upper in this video.

[@rockentry]

@@BoulderingHighlights That would be hard lol let’s focus on One Arm first and go from there ;)

[@DekarNL]

Lol never but thanks for believing in us 😂

[@marshallwalker4499]

This is a huge milestone for most Calisthenics athletes good luck I have no doubt you can do it 👍

[@rockentry]

Thank you, I can’t wait! 🔥

[@samuelsmith7309]

There’s some research based in theory and proved anecdotally that using rings decreases the risk of elbow tendinitis by allowing the hand to rotate, which in turn puts less strain through the tendons surrounding the elbow. I haven’t suffered from any tendonitis since I started using my wood hang blocks for pull ups. Highly recommend

[@RDbodybuildingreardelt]

Might try rings instead then, thanks!

[@ResilientNinja45]

Thanks for that. I was able to do one arms but then my elbow tendinitis became overwhelming. I haven’t been able to do them in awhile now.

[@V8chump]

I was struggling to get the 1 arm during years of working out…. Get into climbing and made slow controlled down climbing a part of training… 2 months later I can do a 1 arm pull-up out of NOWHERE. Best feeling in the world finally pulling it off The thing nobody talks about is using your lats… it’s like 85% lat pulling 15% shoulder stability when you get the form figured out

[@nascentclimbing]

You and Magnus have ace vibes on camera together - must be daunting in a way to climb with such a beast 😅 but you nail it - great video!

[@rockentry]

Magnus is just a great overall person to climb and hang out with :)

[@yuryaraujo1612]

After three years of back and forth training, I finally did one rep of the one arm pull up. Thanks for the tips Magnus, the shoulder thingy was crucial. Also thanks for posting this video @rockentry

[@AEClimbingTV]

Will try this progression too! Awesome collab Oswaldo and Magnus! 🔥💪🏻

[@rockentry]

Best of luck to you! 🙌

[@alexbarcovsky4319]

What helped me immensely was to use a pulley system. You dont even need a pulley, just a cordelette and a weight on one end, hang it over the bar and it will be good enough. Its probably the most consistent method, especially because the rubber band and also the arm on arm assist helps considerably more in the lower part of the movement. Focus on being as static as possible. That said though, I find it is quite a useless skills for my skill range (V8). Finger strength and lockoff strength has proven way more important, with pure pulling strength being always sufficient. Troughout the months I have lost the one arm pullup, but focused on different things and became a stronger climber as a result. The one armer is an extremely advanced exercise that probably has no effect on your climbing if you climb below V12, and it takes a lot of time (way more than 2 months) to train. From the point where oswaldo is, its more realistic to expect to do it in about 4-6 months, possibly even more, and that is with a lot of dedication and cutting down on some climbing specific training as well.

[@rockentry]

Thanks for sharing the details! It'll probably take me longer as my priority will be climbing over the one arm. But, we will see!

[@moleculekid]

Watching your videos before I check Magnus up ! So psyched about this collab, good job :)

[@rockentry]

Much love, Thank you 🙏

[@iceblade1333]

saw the magnus vid, and i live in Vegas, now the pad is the gym i got a membership for, such an amazing gym, and its good for a brand new climber such as myself.

[@loniousmonk]

8:00 +1 for less sugar; crazy how much it can affect connective tissue resilience and recovery and all kinds of things

[@SteveTownshend]

Another good method to train for one-arms, is pulling up with 2 arms, and then going down with one as slow as you can. Pull back up with two, then down with the other one as slow as you can. A Bachar Ladder (ie. Rope ladder) is also really useful. Make sure when you go down, you always go as slow as you can.

[@kennethduncan4643]

Tried wrist one arms after my second gym sesh today, and I was hyped to get to 90 degrees on my right, and I have some work to do on my left. Also got super hyped to get a handful of regular pullups on 20 mm

[@spacecowboysucio]

great video man

[@Flopsaurus]

What a bunch of really cool dudes

[@Bobbzorzen]

Awesome video! as soon as i manage to do a 2 arm pullup i'll start putting these tips to good use :D

[@rockentry]

Yes! best of luck to you. It's already exciting enough to do pull-ups. You've got this!

[@tonymills8383]

Great video, definitely trying this. Just saying, Dave McLeod does a really good video about tendon problems which is worth a watch.

[@adrenalinejunkiepov]

I love it how I watched both Magnus and Rockentry before I found out they made videos together..

[@brettpaterson8042]

I’ve had tendinitis in the past (Got it back again in my left inside elbow now) like Magnus said, just woke up one day and it is gone. Watched this video before and remembered the tips and the hand on the wrist progression is by far the best tip. Thanks rockentry, your videos are super and very helpful, and of coarse thanks to the legendary Magnus. 🧗‍♂️👏

[@TimoMoYeo]

Just tried it! So much hope! Thank you rock and Magnus

[@targeted1948]

Magnus makes any video better. I have to get rid of my tendinitis before trying to get one arm pullup.

[@ashyxt]

for the reference, I am 57kg, I can do 7 reps of strict +25% BW pull up atm, and I can go straight to front bicep grasping one arm pull from dead hang (same for both arms) I hope I can achieve the illustrious true one arm pull up soon!

[@ryanlynch5302]

I love your viedos! Keep up the great content :)

[@rockentry]

Thank you!

[@LostaraYil666]

You ask a lot of great questions that answers the viewers thought as they appear, it could have taken way longer and been more boring to pack in that information. I think you could make anyone present a good tutorial, which doesn't always happen on KZbin, Great job!

[@Lucas_SM_Gymnasthenics]

I have been chasing the one arm pull Up for more than a year and I cant even bend my arm from dead hang but I can do a negative more or less slow and a full one arm pull Up with a banda on feet that Takes 12 kilos off and I can do a pull Up with one hand and the other grabbing the bicep but I wont surrender I Will keep on till I get It! Thanks for the tips

[@leevickers5747]

i used to be able to do holds on the bar with supernated grip. Never could really pull from a dead hang though. I could also hang for 45 seconds with one arm on the rings. Stopped one arm training beacause I want to get better at normal pull ups.

[@KUHLZAK]

Creating unboundless stoke❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@MiguelClimbs]

Sorry I'm late! Had to watch Magnus' video first bro! So sick that he gave us all these pointers on one arms. I'm gonna train them too, and if I get it before you Ozzy, you owe me 1,000 dollars 😂

[@rockentry]

really going for that $1,000! 😂 let’s get that one arm!

[@Bobbzorzen]

I'm so happy you got in on this action Miguel! Love your stuff!

[@RoadtoV11]

hahaha that made me laugh out loud!

[@matthewsevers5862]

The cameo from Miguel 😂💪

[@arturobandini4078]

Awesome video, really good and well- deserved to see a climber of Magnus' status on your channel .

[@rockentry]

Thank you!

[@JDPrimeShots]

Now we just need a video with you and Sophia featuring Magus and Marte. Double date Climbing!

[@adil06944]

Lol @ "you're not rotating at all though". I was thinking the exact same thing when that dude jumped in.

[@MiguelClimbs]

Lol, I was tired 😩

[@jonez8872]

Nice Video dude! Trying the one arm pull up for so long. This video hopefully bring me a bit forward in how to correctly train it 🤘

[@rockentry]

Nice! Hope this video helps you get there 🔥

[@jimbo9203]

For medial epicondylitis (golfer's elbow) get a theraband flexbar and do Reverse Tyler Twists

[@briankelly1817]

Awesome! Thanks for recording!

[@donkyuhbuhts540]

Full length vids ftw!

[@sahandakane]

Nice video. I have dealt with tendonitis for doing one-arm pull-up/lock-off training and I fixed it by doing heavy concentric wrist flexsion exercises, using a 20 to 25 pound dumbell !

[@zbo1]

Surely you must mean heavy eccentric training. That's usually the gold standard for tensinitis

[@sophiachalks]

Praying for myself the next few months because I’m trying this too 😅

[@rockentry]

I believe in you! ❤

[@V8chump]

Make sure to warm up them shoulders first! 😁

[@davidthomas1424]

Regarding tendonitis, and this might be useful for progressions - I found that doing negatives cleared my tendonitis. One way of progressing the one arm is to follow this method, but work the negative from the top position. 😉👍

[@zacgonzalez6512]

What a collab!

[@Kurott0]

Damn there some good info here I'll try that also

[@_MRK87]

8:40 haha the warm latino hug vs reserved scandinavian hug

[@BredButter-g1w]

awesome, thanks!

[@Asadc1995]

Good old climbers method that 2 years ago got me a deadhang concentric

[@poppinfresh1010]

I've always had elbow problems any time i tried to train for it. Even one or 2 reps of max effort would be too much. What's been helping me recently is working in the higher rep ranges, using an assisted pullup machine to take off 40+lb. It's a lot better than resistance bands because bands don't help much with the top of the range, which is where I had trouble and also where the most stress on the elbow is.

[@rockentry]

That’s a good way for assisted pull-ups if you have access to a pull-up machine. Thanks for sharing!

[@vladandronik5711]

also a good exercise is to wear a simple snow glove, which has no grip at all, on your free arm. Try to do one arm pull up with your other hand while holding to the vertical bar with the hand in the glove. The height where you hold your arm with a glove is how hard its is, the lower the harder. Also the diameter of the vertical bar is important, should be thick I think it will take you month max, your right arm is already strong enough

[@rockentry]

Never heard of this method to a one arm, thanks for sharing!

[@dRaevyn.2030]

Nice content ... you got me sub brother !!!

[@desmonetizacao4753]

Is possible to do this training to get the oap and the oac? How?

[@רוןאסקו]

Excellent video helped me a lot :) what the grip tape you put on the pull up bar ? can u send me a link please..

[@howsyourdad1]

Hej nice video with good vibes. How often can/should you train one arm pull ups? 3 x a week?

[@alanklm]

Finally someone tells that begginning can be the hardest part!

[@chaozzah]

Cutting sugar is going to be so much harder in the US than in Norway I reckon, but that seems like solid health advice regardless :D

[@Benkkuful]

Also sugar isnt the only food causing inflammation in the body. If u want to look further into it, look into diets that are recommended for people suffering from rheumatoid arthritis.

[@anders5612]

Hey, great video. What do you think about weighted pullups for training though?

[@rockentry]

Definitely recommend them for climbers

[@zackmcdowell5390]

Thanks for the good video! Not trying to be controversial but just trying to understand, how is this different from a rotating one arm chin up? I noticed that Magnus ends the movement with his face towards his fingers, which is usually what defines a chin up vs a pull up( fingers away from face). I've achieved a one arm chin up and it feels way harder than a one arm pull up. Just trying to figure out if I'm making the one arm pull up harder than it has be or if the standard should be fingers must be away from face when you end the moment? Thanks!

[@desmonetizacao4753]

in the one arm pull up the easiest part of the movement is the initial part up to 90 degrees, from that part the one arm chin up and easier to continue with the one arm chin up because it uses more biceps. That is, in one arm pull up the easiest part is the beginning because it uses more back, after that it gets harder, so it spins and ends with a one arm chin up( sorry for the English, I don't know English)

[@Brian-pc5xe]

Any update? Did you get it?

[@jasperrafols750]

Not only he's a chess grandmaster, but he also does calisthenics.

[@joshjenkinson1929]

The key is to do weighted pull ups regularly and reduce carbs and increase protein and fat in the diet to get lean and strong.

[@jirelbyu]

If you supplement this training with weighted pull ups, you'll progress much faster :D Was able to do my first OAP after lifting ~70%BW

[@rockentry]

Can’t go wrong with weighted pull-ups!

[@RavidKun]

If I remember correctly during my peak weighted pull ups (max 1 rep) I lifted 80% BW and I still wasn't that close to OAP though I wasn't training specifically for it or sure if my form was correct (shoulder rotation wise) so who knows maybe that's the issue. To each his own ;) best of luck to everyone!

[@Rightsponde]

8 months later where are you now with it ?

[@ptm225]

song?

[@bakkenn]

So did u manage?

[@tougeattack123]

this is a very hard exercise im working on it but the progress is slow. but anyway very few people can do it and i want to be one of them

[@eatmykwad]

man crush right there :)

[@Loralanthalas]

Oh hell. Ive only even seen shorts. Didn't know there were longer videos until you said 'link to full video' 🤔👆 🤯

[@rockentry]

Yup, I do long form content too :)

[@tutorialchief]

right, sugar always causes inflammation, even if you have cancer and else, go low carb

[@boopity3156]

3:39 🧐

[@thomasdixon5950]

I can do 2-3 1 arm pullups each arm but still havent climbed even a v8. Im sure arm strength helps but apparently for me it doesnt that much lol.

[@jbrandontarr1421]

There is research that links high sugar consumption and inflammation.

[@TrollGnonpom]

Great video. Be carfull taht pulling on your wrist with oyur other hand it very traumatizing for your joint and ligaments. If you really can't afford a cheap band, pull on the bar with your other arm, using only 1 or 2 fingers to limit the hellp it gives you.

[@amirlanuchral8027]

progress?

[@ashyxt]

have you got it bro?

[@ishmammohammadadnan1525]

Didn’t know I was stronger than Rockentry when I was 16 😑

[@ericmathias2619]

Super

[@karwoski91]

Do you need at least 70% extra on weighted pull up before starting to train the oap as geek climber said?

[@rockentry]

I'm not sure, but we can check! I'll do a weighted pull-up when I do get my One Arm pull up and see where it's at.

[@cccc87659]

Did you get it

[@FlashEscalade]

@rockentry do you think you can cut down the sugar? I don’t think you can, so I hope you don’t get injured 😂

[@rockentry]

Only an issue when I’m in France 😬

[@FlashEscalade]

@@rockentry croissants and eclairs au chocolat 😂😂😂😂

[@shrknan073]

“your right arm is much stronger than your left” i wonder why 🤔

[@axelsoderberg1891]

Wasn't your goal in 2021 to do a one arm pull up?

[@rockentry]

Yup! and I was able to do it with my right hand and now lost all my strength. Now, I’m going to try this method and hope to get it again and with my left hand too this time.
