This video goes over my tips and progression of learning the one arm chinup (can be applied to the one arm pullup; they are very similar). This includes what I learned from months of trial and error. I also explain the importance of biomechanics, which, when understood, makes executing a one arm much easier (I would say almost 30-40% easier).

I think anyone who wants to make V7/V8s feel easier should consider working on this. When I used to do only weighted pullups, my max Moonboard grade was around V5. Now being able to do a one arm on both arms, I can do V8s much more easily (one-two per session). You’re just so much more stable on the wall. This is because one arm pullups can be more specific than two arm pullups on harder grades where you rely on the stability of locking off and just moving with only one arm.
