Here is a chart by Steven Low from his book Overcoming Gravity.
It compares the difficulty of bodyweight / gymnastics exercises relative to the others.
Of course it is hard to compare what is sometimes apples and oranges, but I think he did a pretty good job.
Check it out on Google Docs.
Eh, Free HS + 1 Finger HS is easier than 1-arm HS? Something is wrong. What do you think?
Correct in my book.
It means Free HS where most of your weight is on one hand and only 1 finger from the other hand helps balansing.
So the next harder progression is full one armer.
silly me, now i get it.
His name is Steven Low not Stephen, anyway great chart thanks
Fixed, thanks for letting me know.
Excuse me. What are R pullups?
See the ‘Abbreviations’ sheet in the spreadsheet (bottom tab).
R stands for Rings.
Thanks man. I really didn’t see it.
thnx mate
These charts are misleading and inaccurate. For instance a 2.1 body weight pullup is not an advance skill. That is higher then the world record, and as such much harder then an iron cross.
Not exactly misleading although it may be confusing. For the weighted movements that doesn’t mean 2.1 in the way you’re thinking. Its BW+BW+10%. So if you weigh 90kg its 90kg+~100kg. Still very advanced, though it is NOT 90kg+180kg.
The world record for weighted pullups is an addition 207lbs by man who weighed 202 lbs. So yes its inaccurate.
Maybe I’m confused, except I can think of several random YT vids with people doing crazy numbers. I.E. this awesome dude: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUud4MUwyIo Wasn’t there also some guy on BB forums a few years back doing crazy weighted pullups?! I might be wrong but it could have been ~200kg total. I’ll say 110% of BW added is elite and something many will not reach. Getting near it is possible though and I would say for many. IIRC Steven claims pretty much any run of the mill individual (with proper training/rest etc) can get to level 10(see charts) and that would be an OAC. An OAC for most people is +~70-85% added on chins. So the 110% is not always likely, though some elite could get it.
What is your source on the world record?
