If you can seriously do 2 one-armers after a few months of climbing thats well impressive, you must be built like a beast.  
I had a mate who said he could do 5 one-armers, when i asked him to show me he grabbed his wrist with his other arm and used both arms to pull up on  :roll: .

is this guy for real - the same one that top roped London Wall and wondered if it has any ascents?

Anyhow - some good one armer information

From John Gills website
A good history of one armers and other strength feats

and also (from a different site)
The complete guide to doing one armers

You are probably right Ru.  Not seen Tyler knock out a one armer yet.  Hows the ace coming on?

I'm sure a series of that many one arm pull ups is pretty hardcore anywhere.  How many did the simpson do?  Can't be that far off

dense, I think if you add up all those pathetic little pulls he does then you just about get one proper one armer... other than that I have to agree with you.

Aye, proper hardcore, what with big rungs and fully extended elbows.

Not sure if I've posted these before, but

People trying hard...
