1st is the classic semi strong lock off complete with desperation pike and chin bob

AKA the party one-armer AKA the punter's show-off...

That describes my assisted one armer method perfectly

On a side note...
I've been taking year 9 groups for  PE sessions.
I am gobsmacked that 14 yearold boys cannot manage 5 press ups on even a single pull up!
The odd chin up (ish) but out of a class of 25, not one pull up.

I couldn't do a pullup when I was 14 either.

So, when did you "develop"?

I was already heavily into climbing by that age and accidentally overheard two of my then mentors/heroes discussing my lack of upper body strength,  which prompted me into the world of pull ups on the edge of the garage roof.

How much that helped the VDiff's and Severes I was wobbling up at the time I don't know, but it changed the rest of my life...

Only at about 20 or 21. When I started climbing I could do 1 pullup.
