Can you do one armed pushups?

[yuppee]

I can still do so with my Right arm, never could with my left arm, but I'm working on it, using dumbells. I turn my body sideways to do the 1 armed pushup. My Korean instructor could do one armed pushups with his arm held sideways across his chest. In other words, he'd position his right palm in front of his LEFT shoulder, chest towards the ground.

the real deal fitness thing, tho, is 1 armed CHINUPS, with either arm. Not one man in 20,000 can do that.

Haven't done any one arm chin ups yet, this is the next goal.

I tried to do simply hang by one arm the other day, and almost ripped my shoulder ligaments. Was sore for 3 days.

Of course, I'm too damn fat, but nonetheless.

that's what the test is about. arm strength relative to body weight

Try with a thorough full body warmup. I feel the same if I just walk up to a pullup bar, feels like my shoulder's being ripped out. But if I go rock climbing, during a session I can easily hang on one arm after a jump. I attribute it to warm up and good form. Core must be tight so you hang on your muscles and not the ligaments.

Exercises like this are for morons. You're just going to hurt yourself.
