I guess that client already had the skills and physics for the OAC, and just needed the strength element to kick back in. For ppl w ho are trying to build up to the OAC, do you think the one arm row would be of any benefit? Or those who are ready to build up to a OAC should really focus more on the more difficult pulling exercises such as assisted OAC, OAC negative, holds, archer, weighted, Expand On 10/17/2016 at 6:27 PM, Jin Liu said: Expand A one arm row will not get you strong enough to do one arm pullups but you could build up to it than do harder variations. Assiassted oap and holds have always been the method I used to get strong enough to do one arm pullups. Weighted pullups would work too. A one arm pullup is generally equivalent to do weighted pullups with .60-.70% of body weight. The world record is a weighted pullup an additional 1.05 bodyweight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro Mainente Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 He had already achieved the oap, with appropriate re-conditioning he achieved again the movement. rows if done slowly and correctly are the mother and the father of all advanced pulling variations. beginner should be in these at least 8-12 months of their beginner preparation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Why would you need 8-12 month of preperation ? Rows are basic level. While I can defintly see a one arm pulluo training a year to achieve if you are a complete novice it shold not take any longer than that. When I first started doing bodyweight workouts I started with front lever varation and assiasted OAP varations.

Alessandro Mainente Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 This way of think it is typical of who has no idea of what body needs at the beginning in order to adapt, what a beginner needs , why and who. I could share with all of you all the facebook screenshots that i have about people suffering from improper training injury, because all of them come to me when it is too late: -torn distal bicep tendon -torn rotator cuff and rotator cuff impingement -forearm problem and forearm splints -labral tear -proximal bicep tendon -lats tear -shoulder luxation due to premature oap/oac exposure. it is not relevant how did you manage your schedule at the beginning, OAC it is not for beginner. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angel Chav Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 Good subject. I have been doing different pull ups/chin ups variations for almost 2 decades and have found that a proper warmup, not pushing yourself too hard in workouts, stretching often, and giving your muscles enough time to heal lowers the chances of getting injured while preforming these exercises.

Bas Albinus Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I don't get why adding (heavy) weight is so important or even "the goal" to most guys. I don't see it as a "problem" as long as one is still capable to execute proper form, but I'm certain it won't help improving ones form if it has flaws. Everybody I've seen doing pull ups at the gym was adding more n more weight plates to it. Jerking through the motions, squeezing out single or double reps. On the other hand most couldn't do 3sets of 15 decent dead hang pull ups w/o additional weight... Nothing wrong with adding maybe 10kg or so to help you get on that next step, but I think If pull ups start getting "too easy" so you need to add heavy weight, you should also be able to do do more advanced exercises like front lever pull ups or one arm pull ups etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand You are very strong to do dips with 200 pounds,how long did it take for you to build up for it?My workouts vary depending on what my fitness goals are at the moment.Right now I am focusing more on powerlifting,long distance running, flexibility, and calisthenics.Today I focused on my core and did superman pushups.This Saturday or Sunday I am doing a 12.1 mile run with my girlfriend.I hope to get back into the shape I was in my mid 20's and hope to beat my old calisthenics records.

Expand I can do all of the end moves in foundation besides manna. Foundation would hold me back unless I just did the mobility aspect of it. Beyond that I a 21 year old armed security guard going to college full time. After I get my degree and am making money I would probaly get foudation for the sake of injury prevention when I get to even higher level in these movments. (I know world class level for weighted one arm pullups Is NOT much heavier) As for now At most wouldnt I get the stretching and mobility series.
