careful, i said exactly the same thing to my friend and then a few days later tweaked my first finger!

From a new Paxti interview:
"I can pull up 28 times on two hands and barely once with one hand when I am in my best shape"... so we can definitely sack off the one-armers.
The interview's here if anyone's interested: http://www.baurock.ru/interview2/patxi_eng.htm

Says here that Bruce Lee could perform 50 reps of one arm chin-ups.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Lee#Physical_feats
Anyone else doubt this? I guess it means 50 one hand chin-ups (holding wrist).

He should take his training more seriously. You should send him some pointers.

He's a beast compared to this guy:

Height: 182cm weight: 59kg ape index: 2cm

pull ups: 30 one hand pull up: 0

Quite weak in pull ups, uh? Climbing is interesting sport.

Ah, it all makes sense now.

[Paul B]

did you need the stats to work it out?

[Johnny Brown]

What was your fighting weight Paul? And he's six foot? Has he got bones made of helium balloons?

About 50kg, I did goslightly lower at one stage (god knows how it wasn't as if I was dieting) but got warned by Nat that if I was ever lighter than her there would be trouble 

The worrying thing was coming out of hospital with a fair amount of structural support and my weight being unchanged!

BTW that puts him with a BMI of 17.8 Holy Fuck.

[Fultonius]

Height: 182cm Check   weight: 59kg Jesus Christ that's +18 Kg   ape index: 2cm Check

pull ups: 30      one hand pull up: 0 Check

I Like Pies 

And Paul - what height are you? 50Kg is about the weight of a pre-pubescent girl...

[Doylo]

Another reason he was so good in the school, tiny girl fingers meant the holds were jugs!

If you want to see rat hands look at Nats, dismaying on the trip f*ck nows what would constitute a mono for her. Don't think she found one.

This wasn't meant to be a look at me the skinny b*stard thread.However, this was taken about that time:

[a dense loner]

ah the training days

bruce lee could do 50 one armers, what nonsense, is anything true on wikipedia?

[Fultonius]

I heard he did 1000 1-armers a day...

Paul, how come you ended up so injured weighing about fuck all? You should be a beast!

[Paul B]

My leg snapped.

I truly am a fat bastard 

[Doylo]

don't worry we all are compared to bennett

[JamesD]

I did the sensible thing, I made sure I got all of my injuries in before I even started bouldering.

Around 15 fractures

6 Concussions

A hernia

Chronic tendon issues in my elbows (which seem to be a lot more settled of lately, strange?!)

Wrecked left shoulder

and some rather major injuries sustained in a car crash.

Climbing has thankfully been rather injury free so far, 1 tweak and counting....but I don't wanna jinx myself!

[JamesD]

50kg ?

I'll bench press you for a warm up 

[JamesD]

Back on topic though, I can't do a single one arm pull up, and can manage 10/12 pullups at a push without stopping, a bit shit really 
I can deadhang from onearm.....not quite the same though eh!

[Fultonius]

Paul, how come you ended up so injured weighing about fuck all? You should be a beast!

My leg snapped.

Ah, that's gonna slow you down a bit!

[slackline]

With a track record like that I wouldn't count your chickens before.....

[JamesD]

Haha, it was mostly from bmx, crashes at around 20mph, 8ft or so off the ground aren't the best things to partake in for overall bone health apparently.....

[pete b]

Almost from when I started climbing about a year and a half ago I could do one one-armer with either arm. I would like to train to do more but any training I do results in elbow injury (tendons?). I stop until my elbows recover and start again with the same result. I'm beginning to think that I will never be able to improve at this. Any ideas?

[slackline]

Go climbing more, one-armers are fucking your elbows.
