Can anybody here do a one arm pullup?

[zlffjebdhf]

I can never do a pull up and I'm wondering how I can start practice doing it. For example, if I'm doing bicept curls, I can start off with light weights and gradually move onto heavier weights but for pullups I just can't do it and there's no way to practice doing it either. One other reason I don't do it is because when other ppl see me struggling, it's embarassing.

"pullup" as in a chin up, yeh i got a friend that can do those with one arm and no asistance in anyway, can do about 15 of em. he used to do gymnatics when he was young, he can one arm pushups aswell =\

sorry to hijack the tthread but..

can anyone do one handed pushups, its more to do with balance than strength surely?

I can but I lean my feet against a wall, is that cheating?

Do pulldowns/assisted pullups on machine, gradually increase resistance

IMG tags are off in the main forums, the premier members den is the only place it's enabled, I think.
