BROOOOOO YOU KILLED IT! This is one of my long term goals but tendinitis is keeping me away from progress. I’m stoked to see you get it!
Really inspiring
Same boy. I am high, my legs are long and heavy ( tyicaly powelifter body, for heavy squats not for rings and these skils on bar ) 😔
Same keep getting close then have to go back to square one after fixing the tendonosis.
Tendonitis is often an overuse injury. I'd advise dropping your volume, it's rare that people can train a movement like this 2-3 times a week as some say.
I'd do it in blocks. Some blocks you are doing twice per week, then next block you are doing 1ns a week. Dropping your volume isn't always a bad thing if it allows you to train consistently over a whole mesocycle it's the best option.
Same but him saying he only trains it twice a week kinda opened my eyes. Gonna adjust a bit I guess
@@Aclow damm i should train it once per week
This is literally the best one I've seen from you. I learnt a lot. Your devotion, techniques and strength all contribute to this for it to happen.
Geek Climber!! You’re an inspiration!! I’m a beginning climber who has only been climbing for a few weeks, but watching your vids has really helped me improve. This one arm pullup is AMAZING…thank you so much for being awesome!!!
Seriously inspirational man! I love how everything is grounded in science and observation. Your perseverance is next level
Incredible commitment. Absolutely love the celebration too. Very interesting to hear your learning process in all of this.
Good job man!! That was so technical my head is still spinning!! You’re persistence is amazing!! Keep up the good work. I can’t do that. Haven’t really tried but I know I can’t even hang with one arm for more than a couple seconds. But I can do 10 muscleups and front lever hold record is 24 seconds. I’ll be 64 in December. I’m gonna work on the one arm pull up and your video will be what I train from!👍🏽
You absolutely have the strength to achieve it! Just make sure to not make the same mistake I made and injure yourself. You got this, man!
@@GeekClimber hey can you explain what do you mean in 7.31-7.51?
wait you can do those things at age 64?? That's insane. How many muscle ups/ length of front lever hold could you do at age 30?
@@hyunjinlimb4089 they may not of been in good shape in their 30's and is something they have progressively gotten better at as they aged
You're 63 and you look sicckkk!!
Congratulations!!! I cannot believe your dedication, well done and thank you for this video!
Good on you, man! I am super impressed you managed to recognise that it was more effective to use the lats instead of serratus anterior, even if it meant taking a more circuitous route upwards. (I am a doctor/sports medicine researcher and really appreciated the breakdown.) We need more science in calisthenics! Of course, I am not aiming to try and achieve this, but since I started watching your channel last year, I managed to do my first pull up and chin up as a skinny twenty-something Asian, which I thought were impossible before, and am now working on my handstand. I have been able to hold a one-minute handstand with one point of contact against a wall for several months now, but still struggling to balance free-standing. Thanks for inspiring me with your positive attitude and sheer determination! I am looking forward to your next video for the detailed breakdown, and I can't wait to see what else you manage to achieve.
Also, thank you for your generosity in offering all this hard-earned information for free!
Totally agree that we need more science in calisthenics! Congrats on achieving the pull-up, and I am sure you will eventually achieve the freestanding handstand if you keep working on it!
@@GeekClimber Thanks! I'll keep working on it 😊
@@GeekClimber Can you briefly further break down your reasoning with the circular pull and lat engagement? The lats do extend, adduct and internally rotate the arm (in this order I believe), so leaning back would increase lat engagement, but would put you at a mechanically more disadvantageous position - increasing the moment arm for the lats to perform work and you would probably limit the activation of internal rotators which would act as stabilisers but also potentially assist in bringing the arm closer to the midline which is some sort of mix between adduction and internal rotation.
Also, I'm not sure that the way others pull significantly involves the serratus and significantly reduces lat engagement. The serratus is responsible for upward rotation, and protraction which are passive positions during the pull.
Anyway, I'm not an expert and I didn't really understand your explanation in the video tbh so I'm looking forward to your follow up explanation. But just want to say, the body tends to self organise, especially in simple movements and move into the easiest positions to produce force for the given individual and proportional strength of muscles related to the movement. I don't think the others don't do your style of opening the chest before closing because they consciously do it their way, or copy others who do it that way, I'm think for the most part their their body just positions them in the most mechanically efficient ways.
Sorry for the rant. I'm not 100% sure on what you're even describing in the video but there's some stuff I have doubts about and I'm pretty interested in sharing ideas and discussing, so even if this seems critical, it's really not meant to be. Curious on your thoughts :)
Yeah, if you check out how calisthenics athletes, Gymnast, and Rock climbers perform, muscle ups, pull ups and let alone One Arm Pull Ups the actually get into a Hollow Hold Position, they do this to maximize body tension to generate more strength, plus that’s how our body likes to work if you see a swim stroke the begging of the catch fase(when you start to sink your hand in the water, you can see how swimmers over extend their arms to generate as much force and speed at the beginning of the motion as well as to stabilize throughout its entirety the same can be seen in an overhead throw they Chuck their arms away from their body with the Serrato a anterior as well as crunching their abs this maximizes the lats force transfer through a stable shoulder girdle as well as the arms movement pattern, instead of doing a straight up and down motion you are doing a sweeping motion without the need of arching your back as seen by Geek Climber, it’s gist like the bench Press, the best power lifters and bodybuilders don’t press up and down but follow a sweeping motion(they start from the nipple line and end at shoulder height, there was a 2D axis motion, not only one. Hope this helps and props for your curiosity.
One exercise that I've been using is actually getting inside the band like what you would do when your learning a conventional two arm pullup. I feel like it mimics the range of motion to the one arm pullup and i do prefer that over holding the band with the other hand
That sounds like a great excercise, I will give it a try. I think it also forces you to keep the legs straight, so you don't kick.
Negatives helped me to achieve front lever and one-arm pullups. Something that I found to work for me is to train very frequently but with really low intensity so I can train 3-4 times a week without getting burned out. These are very difficult skills so always warm up before any attempt.
How do you train negatives at a low Intensity??? With a band? Just seems weird since negatives are typically only done for exercises you can't do concentrically.
@@nicholaspurdum2597 Yeah using bands is a good way to train dynamic moves (I dont use them for static holds that much). You must find a progression which is not extremely hard, so your nerves and body can adapt. If you do negatives of a very hard progression or if you do lots of reps you wont be able to perform the next days, and thats the problem, skills need to be trained consistently. For example if you cant hold stradle front lever, there is no point doing a full front lever negative for sets, Its better to do advanced or stradle front lever negatives so you can learn the movement with a lower intensity. But thats what worked for me.
@@chriskokkas8590 how do you incorporate this kill training with lower intensity in your regular sets/reps muscle building workout plan?
@@wayne9048 Well, you need to decide what your goals are, these are strength movements I don’t recommend training for hypertrophy at the same time. That's why it's very important to master the basics first with full-body hypertrophy programs and then once you have a strong foundation you can start learning more advanced skills. Also, you don't need to do max holds and max effort attempts every time you workout, you need to take it slow and from time to time take a break or do some hypertrophy instead. You can't do this 24-7-365. But again dont take my word for it thats what worked for me so do your research.
sounds like 'greasing the grove'.
I am super stoked that you figured it out! I found that when I started training the 1 arm pullup, lat engagement was key. Engaging the lat with 1 arm is very tough. Having solid late retraction and depression in the weighted pullup is important.
DUDE CONGRATS!!!!! you're legit my inspiration- I'm definitely not the strongest person ever but watching your vids and how you scientifically explain/break things down give me the confidence to try it anyways!
People don't train negative to learn a movement, they do it to build muscle tissue in the relevant areas which are used for that movement. All the technique and neural adaptations to the movement itself are through normal practice, not the negative. They are separate but both go towards the same end goal.
Not true. I learned to do my first pull-up years ago by doing negatives.
You say that with so much confidence.
Not at all, if negatives were just for building muscle tissue, you would use more general, better excercises, like in this case, weighed pull-ups.
Negatives are mostly for technique and neural adaptations.
Take a freestanding HSPU for example, a negative is a great way to learn the technique.
@@ficolas2 I kind of agree with your point, but I think negatives are relevant to strength as well - there are some parts of the movement that are difficult to train, in particular the transitions between muscle groups. Doing negatives can help strengthen the muscles within those ranges of motion
@@tristanreid5770 yeah definitely, it's just that usually for strength you would use a move that has a concentric, and is easier to overload.
Really impressive to see your dedication, progress, science put into the movement to be as efficient as possible.
This is the reward after all that hard work!
I love these uploads! You do such a good job going over the training over a long period of time!
I’ve been looking for videos and articles that talk about technique for years, it’s nice to finally see something with queues
This is INCREDIBLE commitment. And congratulations for actually making it too. Exellent work man👍💯
Great video and amazing breakdown of the best possible movement path! Love the time and effort you put into these vids
I’m so proud of you man. I know this was a battle. So inspirational 👌
Congrats man! The long wait was worth, you are a beast!
Not only inspirational but very good info too. I'm stoked for you man, very well done
One fucking year…you’re the best man…showing the truth…your deserve the world
The front lever might take me more than 2 years 😅. Advanced calisthenics is difficult, man.
@@GeekClimber is the front lever harder than a OAP
Hats off man, I think that was your best video yet!! I spent the entirety of Lockdown trying to get the one arm pull up and front lever and my improvements were minute, and as you say, the archer pull up in no way replicates the force necessary for the one arm pull up.
Definitely going to apply your teachings! And if you are ever in London then please come join me for a training session at Millenium Bridge. Its some spot.
Hey man! Did you stick with it? How's your progress looking now?
WOW BRO! Way to stick to the goal/plan! Amazing, super hyped for you.
Thank you for the information. You're a truly selfless man providing true information for FREE! Love you man.
I was so so happy when i learned this. Congrats for that pretty decent form
So proud man! Waited so long for this, I agree, all these exercises do not train you for getting the OAP. Maybe they'll make you stronger but if someone thinks of achieving the OAP they should already be very strong. The only exercise you need is the Weighted Pull Up and thats it. OAPs with resistance band is a good idea too of course as it trains the movement, not useless Archer Pull Ups or whatever. An OAP is also the one and only skill I really want to achieve, but I don't give it all for it as my main focus is bouldering. But Bouldering + consistent weighted Pull Ups will get me to it. I really love how excited you were when you finally got the full and clean ROM of the OAP, your commitment and consistency paid off. Well done!
Based on the climbers I know, it seems that if you can boulder V9+ OAP is automatic. All the V9+ boulderers I know all told me they can do OAP without training specifically for it. To me even climbing V8 feels harder than doing an OAP haha.
@@GeekClimber hey, great video and what an effort from you. Really appreciate the different approach. One thing I also notice is that people who learn the normal PU train with the bands under the feet, but when it comes to OAP we completely change the approach and just grab it. Maybe you can try it out with the resistance band under your feet. I managed to get the OAP quite quick this way and found the spinning while pulling up problem not existing. Keep up the great work
@@GeekClimber so if I want to achieve a one arm pull-up I should do bouldering? At the moment I struggle to do even a proper chin up and pull-up with both arms... There is still hope though I guess
@@GeekClimber thanks , I'm doing a mobility course from calimove like you did, thing to try to video record my progress, I have ankylospondilitis which makes certain things more stiff but I'm going to keep going to see how much I can do with my physical limitations. I don't think you look middle aged. But you look good for your age if you are, I'm 37, some people think I'm younger too but the grey hair helps me with that.
It's one of my goals to eventually be able to do a one arm pull-up... What do you reckon are pre-requisits?
@@HarryAGeorgiou Take it slow man, injury will set back you more than anything. Lots of pull ups and chin up so, then weighted ones, then train specifically. Bouldering is not an efficient way to get an OAP, people that climb very hard can do them with no specific training but it took them years to get there
This video is awesome! You go so in depth and actually analyze every aspect. Its amazing
well done. your hard work & research paid off.
Absolutely fantastic achievement, and I'm not just talking about the one-armed pull-up. You managed to film this entire thing over the course of more than a year, keep track of your progress, and share your very measured and logical results. I now know where I've gone wrong and what to improve, and I've been at it for more than a year! Hats off to you, friend.
That's an awesome breakdown of the OA pull, cheers. It explains why I can do it one day and not another. And will hopefully allow me to tidy up the move and do multiple reps. Oh yeh because, the main thing is the direction of movement, to keep muscle engagement, same with the muscle up and the HSPU, keep it in mind if you ever go for freestanding HSPU
Yeessssss! You did it!! Excellent work and thanks for sharing!!!
Love your energy,saw a few of your videos and I gotta say I'm fully in
This was incredible! Maybe THE BEST calisthenics tutorial I’ve ever found. More stuff like this please! Keep up the good work!
Big props! The journey was an excellent one to witness.
Also, am definitely surprised you dislike eccentrics. I'm sure a lot of calisthenics people would understand the argument in Overcoming Gravity to use them. They seem to provide plenty stimulus and you'd be developing strength through all of the range of motion. At least so long as you have the initial strength to keep the movement slow, and don't end up too fatigued or sore to keep training.
You are the most amazing guy, with such high quality videos
Your tutorial is pure gold thank You
Great video and congratulations! 🔥 I must say though, that I learned the one armed pull up when I was 18 and weighed 82 kgs, and I trained for a long time with a resistance band without any progress but it was when I started doing solely negatives that after a couple of months I went slowly up not only down. Negatives can definitely work!
Great content!! I've been trying to get a one armer for over a year with a story very similar to yours and had realized that it must be an issue with technique. I'm going to try some of the stuff you talked about and see if I can finally get there. Congrats on the achievement and thanks for sharing!!
This clip was awesome!! Informative and entertaining. You figured it out and kept it up! Congratulations!
Great great great video of showing what worked and why it didn't work as well as showing the breakdown on your movements. This helps so much!!
I’ve never been so happy watching someone else achieve something; what a weird feeling; congrats! Haha
mad respect and super inspiring. but im still a firm believer of negatives, got my first two arm pull-up and push-ups from practising w negatives :")
I like your analytical approach! Thanks a lot for your patience, as well as for your willingness to share this information :)
dude your videos are epic. We all appreciate you sharing with us your grind!!
Thanks once again for the inspiration and motivation. As a sports medicine physician and recreational callisthenics enthousiast I always like your approach and explanations. More realistic for ‘normal people’ than many super human youtube hulks. I have a question for you: do you also train you left arm for an equal number of reps?
Great determination! Great job!
I must say that I also arrived at making a one arm pull up but I had not trained for this specifically. No pull up training, no elastic bands. A lot of climbing indoor/outdoor and climbing related training including on a pull-up bar (front lever progression, lock hangs etc). The point is that there are many ways to achieve this
Really i asked different people some say front lever does got carryover to the OAP others say it dosent got carryover because of it being a horizontal pull and OAP vertical
Great job man. Congrats.
You killed it, man! Major congrats!
Great work! I was convinced you'd get it sooner, when I saw how quickly you got the +77% BW pullup. Did you hit a hard plateau immediately after that? I can do an OAC on my strong arm with a +80% BW weighted pullup, and it didn't take nearly as much specific training. Perhaps sticking to weighted pullups for most of the training volume is a more effective route? Or is it just that the one arm pullup is so much harder than the one arm chinup? I'm also curious as to whether you share my impression that breaking out of the deadhang at the bottom is crux of the movement. Looked like you struggled more with the lockoff at the top, which is usually stronger for climbers.
You’re awesome dude! I agree with the weighted pull up being helpful. Because I started doing weighted pull-ups and before I did them I could only hang on the bar with one arm for 5 - 7 seconds and after training weighted pull-ups I can do 20+ seconds and also I can engage my lats/serratus interior and pull myself up a couple inches
Congratulations man! I've had dreams where I was doing one arm pullups. Such a great feeling. Would be nice to do in real life! Congratulations again!
Congratulations man!!!
Back when I was younger, I could do 5 one arm pull-ups on the right and 3 on the left. I wasn’t scientific about it. I pretty much did around 100 pull-ups spaced throughout the day MWF and around 40 pull ups Tu Thu and sometimes Sat. And did negative one arm pull-ups MWF. I probably was “over training”. But I really enjoyed doing pull-ups so it would have been very difficult for me not to do around 40 on the off days.
The think that I found helpful about doing the negatives was the the hardest part (for me) was the last 4 inches. So by doing negatives, it could really train that portion.
But then again, back in the early 90’s we were doing stupid things like behind the head pull-ups. So don’t take my word for what other people should do.
OMG I bursted out laughing when he got the graph out showing his range of motion. lolololol. love you videos tho mang keep it up!
Man you're the best. Love your videos.
Congratz! And nice video 🤘
Great work bud!! 👍
Congrats for all that you achieved, expecially on day 390! 🙂
As negative rep's have been widely regarded as an important method of building muscle mass and strength for over 40 years, I would be very interested to hear your theory on why they don't work for one arm pull ups.
Out of interest, how many standard pull ups could you do before embarking on the one arm challenge?
Best of luck mate
I trained the one arm pull up for approx. one year and managed to perform one. But I injured myself lightly due to incorrect form (turning shoulders in). I trained with negatives and a terra band. I only had a 15kg weight vest, so I didn't focus on weighted pullups too much. But afterwards I am always smarter! We are training for something our body is not primarly made for, the movement is complex and the possiblity of injury is big. Therefore, I think the weighted pull up is the ideal excercise to build the base strength in a relatively controlled manner. I don't want to risk injury again and will pursue a pull up with my bodyweight attached and do shoulder preparation excercises before I try an unassisted OAP again.
Congratulations, and this may be your best video ever! Amazing information, I'm going to incorporate all this into my own one arm challenge.
I absolutely love this video! Your analytical approach is super!
Well, first of all, gratulations, mate. You did great.
Now I am nowhere near your fitness level, but I remember that back when I learned how to do pull-ups for the first time, I found negatives to be extremely helpful. I used to do negatives constantly and often until I finally pulled off my first pull-up. After that, I still incorporated more negatives after I found myself unable to do more Pull-Ups in a single set. That allowed me to progress to a point where I was able to do 9 Pull-Ups (which at the time was a lot for me (and still is because shit happened and I'm fat again lol)).
So I'm looking forward to see your upcoming videos. I am sure you have some interesting stuff to contribute.
恭喜geek climber！好欣賞你的毅力
Proof that persistence pays off! Love the commitment and reality that not everything is as quick and easy as others can make it seem!
Dude your content is very inspiring !! Thanks for taking us through your process
Great job. Training negatives will help with reducing chances of injury due to increased strength of tendons. However, yes you are correct. For the concentric movement of the one arm pullup, it is better to train the concentric with a reduced load and gradually increase.
Excellent explanations as always. Really impressive man.
lets go!, I checked your channel every week to see if you finally achieved the OAP, front lever or back lever
Congratulations man! doing sth for 390 days is crazy
I think I will achieve the back lever before the front lever, so definitely stay tuned!
@@GeekClimber my dad is also about to achieve his back lever before front lever, at about 50years old, worked on it not that regularly for 2-3 years now
Im impressed by people like yu aha, how tf does someone achieve back lever before front lever is out of my comprehension
Good luck ! Hyped for the video
@@GeekClimber Im sure you already have back lever,I can back lever for like 7 seconds in a shoulder width grip and like 15 secinds in close grip and never trained for it Yet I cant OAP you will do it first try
@@zeinfeimrelduulthaarn7028 Back lever is a very easy skill front lever is way way way harder I have back lever without training it
@@zeinfeimrelduulthaarn7028 front lever is definitely harder than back lever
I love your videos man. The dedication that goes into them is admirable. I wouldn't focus on the negative comments. As long as you're being true to yourself it doesn't really matter what people say. Keep up the good work mate!
Awesome this video is exactly what was needed I've had the same issues training for this too!! Thank you greatly for sharing your journey.
So happy for you! I think if you are able to do a front lever it really helps with you oap because of the strength and coordination it gives, I went for the front lever first and then got the neutral grip oap in only 5 months or so after, I also agree with you it’s better to train weighted pull-ups and resistance bands for the oap. But congratulations dude!
Whats his age?

Hey, will you ever be coming back to TH-cam
Bro you're tip about how doing the one arm pull up is the best that someone has given to me🙏 I had the same problem than you and I almost thought that it would be imposible for me to achieve it... But yesterday I gave it a try with you're advice and made it! Thank you so much 🙌
this has been really insightful, I'm 39 and learned a lot thank you!
Amazing, one arm pull up is a really hard skill to learn! How many times a week did you climb or train something else? I'm thinking about starting to learn oapu as well, but I don't think it's a good idea to train oapu twice a week and climb twice a week.
There 0 point in training a oap
Thanks, this is golden. How much %bw added on 1RM pullup would you recommend before specific OAP training ? Did you feel 77% was a minimum or overkill ?
just work on both. just be careful of hurting your tendons if you aren't used to high stress on your elbow/bicep
Really enjoyed watching this. Congrats on your achievement & thank you for sharing
Insane vid bro keep it up loved it congrats
"You learn how to run by walking first, not running backwards" 😂 This video had me cracking up AND ultra-inspired. The title mentions you learned this in "middle-age", and in the video you said you wanted to learn it before your peak physical potential fades. These are both super important topics / aspirations for me as well - can I ask how old you are??
Mid-30s I believe?
Unless he looks VERY young for his age, I do not believe he's middle-aged. Middle age is generally defined as 40-60 years old.
@@oxenfree6192 Asians Don't age after thy're 20, only when they get like 70 they will become old in like one day
Speaking as a climbing coach, down climbing is actually one of the quickest ways to learn good technique and awareness of balance. I hope your elbows are feeling okay.
By far the most technical analysis of a one-armed pull-up. Thanks bruv.
Mega inspiring. Thank you for sharing this video!
Congrats on unlocking the one arm pull up! Just curious, but did u equally train on the other arm?
I did train my left arm equally, but my left arm is weaker than my right arm because I am right-handed. Maybe I can upload another video once I achieve the one arm pull up with my left arm haha.
@@GeekClimber yes please do the left arm, it’s way more impressive in my opinion
@@GeekClimber where did you get your pull-up rack?
I'm 24 years old, I've been training martial arts, calisthenics and hitting the gym since I was 14, right now I'm in medical school. I have been around the fitness community for approximately 10 years, you sir have flabbergasted me with your approach to training. I respect athleanx's approach with their mantra "bringing the science back in strength", but honestly Jeff with all his knowledge has never been able to produce a video this impressive. Maybe he can, maybe he just withholds information so you can buy his program, but I have so much respect for you man, applying the scientific method efficiently in training like a FUCKING BOSS.
Your videos always give me motivation
Best video I’ve seen in a while. Ty
I feel kinda blessed with this. I did no training for it specifically just climbed a lot. Tried it one day and I can just do it lol
Do you climb V9+? Your experience sounds very identical to the V9+ climbers I know.
@@GeekClimber I've never actually climbed a V9 haha, but im quite close now. Can comfortably climb V7ish without projecting, just need to find the right climbs and commit to them! I think other parts of my climbing are a bit behind my upper body strength. Also my one armers aren't as clean as yours, not as much ROM, you crushed this! good job!
Surprised u completely disregard eccentric exercises (the negative OAP) . Eccentrics have been shown in the research to be a better stimulus than concentric to increase muscle strength…. Not just that but it’s just as functional
I think an important distinction was he mentioned for learning this skill.
The research I’ve seen that is very pro eccentric is better for strength gaining attention in a rehab type situation.
A while back I had a bicep injury and worked with a PT and we did eccentric work quite a bit and it helped gain my strength back, but in my experience it hasn’t helped me much now out of rehab
For me negatives were also useful to learn how to avoid rotating your body. Maybe if he had done some at the end of some session, the transition from with to without resistance band would have been less "shocking"
Yeah true
Awesome video, and congrats on your achievement aswell!
Another classic video from a top guy!
did you really watch the full video of calisthenicmovement's OAPu ?? i doubt u didn't it wasn't terrible, all of its progression is for the one arm pull up,
I got the one-arm pull-up from just heavy weighted pull-ups and one-arm negatives. I can't even add as much weight to my pull-up as you can -- negatives were the difference. You're generalising a bit too much from your experience.
In fact, if you'd committed to training negatives earlier on, you might've strengthened those weak auxiliary muscles and not had to come up with some incredibly specific technique to bypass them. I don't mean to take away from you achievement though, good job!
Whats your body weight and max weighted pullup? Also which grip are you using, pronated, neutral, or chin up. Thanks
Congratulation dude!! I really love your videos because all of then show exactly 2 things:
1. Consistency
2. Intelligent approach
