one-armed

when i get bored, i run into the weight room, jump and fly at the bar hanging from the ceiling and do some pull-ups.

i was doing some today where my grip was on either side of the bar (so my knuckles were facing in opposite directions).
clement, my coworker asked if i was doing one-armed pull-ups.

i told him i wasn't. but he got me curious, so i tried.
no luck the first time, but the second time i grabbed my right wrist with my left hand, and up i went.

it's something i've wanted to do since i watched david morrison do it in high school.
the weird part is that it seemed like most of the power came from the arm gripping the wrist rather than the one grabbing the metal bar.
