I love how you squeezed at the top too because you were thinking “I better make this one fucking count!” Good on you dude that is unbelievable dedication

[@MrTehNoms]

I trained those with no resistance. The key to work up to it safely, is to do scapular movements first. Raise your body as much as you can without moving your elbows. Hang first to strengthen your hands and get your arm and torso bones used to the load. Then scapular inch-ups to strengthen your back and shoulder muscles. Naturally, your body will ask for more and you'll do the full motion pull-ups

[@AJ72281]

Physical prime? I’m 42, 5’6”. Exactly one year ago today, the day after Thanksgiving, I was 212 lbs. and I decided to lose weight. By May I was 143 and decided to work on my physique. Started calisthenics. Did tons of body weight exercises, then started to learn calisthenics moves. Started with the L-sit. By the end of the summer I was doing L-sits into handstands. Now I’m working my way to a full planche. I’m in the best shape of my life right now at 42. Even better than when I was working out and looking cut when I was 25. In fact, I have more muscle definition and see more muscles on me than I ever have before. Physical prime has nothing against mental fortitude……

[@rker]

bro actually trained for more than a year to do a single move properly that's dedication

[@connorking984]

It only takes like 5 minutes a day to climb up there though, that's why calisthenics are so effective. Takes 10 minutes and makes you strong af. I don't consider myself a gym bro at all anymore and yet I'm more jacked than I was when I went to the gym

Congratulations! I tried to learn one-arm pull-ups a few years ago, but in the process I injured my shoulder so badly that I couldn't raise my arm above my head without experiencing excruciating pain for over a year. I should have done some research before attempting it. I didn't know how dangerous it could be.

[@pawedziedzic3250]

390 days, that really puts it into perspective. I started running two months ago and I was getting discouraged because I noticed no results. You saying it took you 390 days to achieve this feat gives me hope that my stamina and strength will improve in time

[@wandererstraining]

Just a few tips if you ever lose it and have to retrain it: 1. Don't stick to only powerlifting bands. Buy some Theratubes as well. The yellow tube is incredibly light. 2. Don't only do sets of 1-2 reps. Build up to the hypertrophy range. Using single strand Theratube yellow, I got up to sets of 9 reps. It got me to 7 reps per side without the band.

[@DerAlbi]

Little did he know that his asymmetric strength lead to many jokes later in life.

[@user-fp7qg8hm1k]

Your potential peak was in your 20s, but since you didn't reach it then, I am sure you have still a lot of progressions ahead. I do believe you will keep progressing even in your forties, you have great potential and peak is very very far away :)

Perseverance isn't the only requirement, you have the train smart as well. He uses a resistance band for assistance

[@swalscha]

Dude, two words: ECCENTRIC MOVEMENTS! Start at the top by using both hand then resist the fall with one hand and an elastic band in the other hand. 40 to 50 days would be enough 😅 Nice commitment and congrats for this success 💪

[@ErikDerElektriker]

in what world is it normal to reach a oap in 40-50 days hahaha

[@swalscha]

@@ErikDerElektriker "train smarter not harder." If you're not overweight and work every single day like this guy for only one specific move, 50 days is enough.

[@ErikDerElektriker]

@@swalscha If you have a very high level of strength before you start yeah, but if you can do some good basics like 10-15 pull-ups 50 days is wat too less

[@swalscha]

@@ErikDerElektriker strength is build over stability. If you try to gain strength with poor stability you're gonna take months for a oap sure, if not injured first. But if you include exercises to reinforce small muscles that contribute to an overall core stability, you'll allow the bigger muscles to work properly. So imo, with exercises like a "typewriter"/lateral push-up and pull-up (both hands) and one arm superman push up hold included in the program for the oap, you'll need significantly less more days. Just repeating the same unique movement is not always the smarter choice to progress. In an other video he responded why he didn't try the eccentric + elastic band method, he said that the path followed during the exercise wasn't the same with an assisted band. I agree with him that it is an important point but it's because of his lack in stability that he couldn't engage a proper path or near this path. Train smarter not harder = do things in order, step by step 🤷🏻‍♂️

Bro the way that you scream at the end got me dying 😂😂😂😂😂

[@Zaq-yo2gu]

Huge tip cause i went through this process too: pull yourself up with both hands and at the top release one hand and hold yourself up as long as you can going down as slow as possible (build some strength before trying this) it only took me a little over a month to be able to do my first OAP using this method, as well as other methods like using a shirt as like a resistance band (i didnt have a resistance band lol) and doing the easy version of one arms by grabbing my wrist as support gradually moving my support down my arm till i could do one while just holding onto my shoulder. And don't try to progress too fast! This move causes so much stress both throughout your arm and on your shoulder, even when getting fairly close i nearly injured my arms multiple times!

[@jorgelinares9686]

The mistake is to assume that just because you don't have lighter resistance the next step is to try unassisted. That jump is way too high, possibly the highest of them all. No matter how weak, any assistance will aid with activation and activation of the kinetic chain. After getting comfortable with the lightest resistance, let go at the top and train the eccentric portion (going down). When you're comfortable with that, start the movement with resistance and let go halfway as you go up. Then train exclusively how to activate your shoulders stabilizing muscles before starting the assistance. Then finally try to connect the movements with the band by your side to aid through sticking points. Go through the steps as you feel confident in each one, it may take hours or weeks but it's definitely better than risking overloading and injury. Good training!

This man is the epitome of what you can achieve with persistence. Every video constantly has me going "what if I had started x" when I first wanted to?

[@badcat0607]

If you get stuck like this, it‘s a good Idea to train the eccentric part of the move - jump or step up to the top part of the movement and lower yourself down as slowly as possible. It‘s way safer and more effective than jerking around at the bottom. Still a great job and massive props for managing that move!
