@retr0id is trying to do a one arm chinup (OAC). Will I be able to do one before him?
Today I did a 1rm of +72% bodyweight.
In 2019 Jul I did a 1rm of 79% bodyweight but was unable to OAC. I tried a variety of exercises to approach the OAC around this time but never achieved it.
- One arm lat pulldown at 69% bw for 4 reps
- OAC with 4% bw assistance (weight on a rope)
- OAC starting halfway up
- One arm lockoff for 15s
- One arm shoulder retraction for 8 reps
In 2020 I did a 1rm of 88% bw but was still unable to OAC.
I was a 3 min walk from the gym over the last year while regaining my strength, but just moved and am now a 13 min walk away.
The deadline will be extended until one of us achieves it, or it will N/A at the end of 2027.
Great question. There doesn’t seem to be much discussion of this online but it seems the hardest part is usually getting out of the bottom, for which kipping doesn’t help much. Kipping helps a lot more at the top but I’m inclined to allow it. Maybe we should find a judge and both send them videos once one of us claims to achieve it?
