Excellent One Arm Chin-ups

[alexk]

I have seen no carry over from oac training (I do negatives, and can pull half way up) to my front lever training. However it is a skill that I always wanted to have so it is in my training now and as a result less front lever work.

Actually, now that I think of it OAC might have some good application towards working...

THE ELEVATOR! (aka inverted muscle up to handstand)

It's a D skill too.. so possibly worth working? Plus, it just looks cool since I haven't seen any elites do it at least at the world level.

Alexk.. that's pretty odd.. although I don't suppose you do much straight arm work if that's the case? Most of the people I know have had very good carryover from all of the "pulling" skills -- OAC, cross, front lever, back lever

This is a cool video of evolution of rings skills, you can see the elevator about sec 30 of the vid.

No, that's closer to quick backward roll -> shoulder stand -> handstand or peach to handstand. Both moves which are significantly easier.

Elevator is supposed to be one smooth move -- hang pull to inverted hang (maybe slightly bent arms?) then inverted muscle up to shoulder stand to handstand. No momentum as John Gill says on his page..
