rest of us don't have to post proof??
OK, will do anyway.
(was like a year ago, so got slightly better form and more reps in me these days!)

These are real pull-ups, for all you novices.
Your form looks fantastic - keep it up!

Haven't done any in a while, but I'd be surprised if I couldn't still do at least 5.
I have been able to do one-handed pull-ups in the past.

About these: I've seen people do them a few different ways. There are the true one-handers (gymnastics style) and then you have the ones where you hold the bar with one hand and grasp your wrist with the other one.
The first one is insane.
I cracked out three of the second kind just yesterday (each arm)

That's the kind I could do, but I was vague on purpose.

I can but I have no stamina in it, i don't think I could get through more than 5. One thing I am proud of is that after 40 years on earth I can still do a pull up, and then continue to wriggle/pull myself all the way up and over the bar, and then climb up and stand on the bar. It's not exactly a smooth motion and it leaves horrible bruising around my rib cage because again, no conditioning there, but it's cool to still be able to pull it off. I'd love to be able to do muscle ups one day but I don't even know where to begin.

Am 62 and have not tried to do this for years but just went and tried- cant even get 1.
Really thought I would still be able to. Wrong!
Will try again later today once a bit more warmed up.

Just tried again after an hour plus warm up gardening and loading the van and managed 1, just!
There was a creaking complaint from my left shoulder so won't try for more :/
Time and age is a tyrant!
