A forecast for your goal

After four sessions over two weeks you see a time range for reaching it.

Good to know: you add this skill yourself as a skill goal or from the exercise catalog. Your plan doesn't build it in automatically.

Questions

How long does it take to learn the one-arm pull-up?
That depends on where you start and how often you train. Kolibi doesn't promise a date: after four sessions over at least two weeks it shows a time range for your skill goal, based on your own progress.
What equipment do I need for the one-arm pull-up?
You need a pull-up bar for every step.
Where do I start with the one-arm pull-up?
With Typewriter Pull-ups, aiming for 2 to 4 reps per side. If that is still too hard, build strength with Archer Pull-ups first.
Does Kolibi build the one-arm pull-up into my plan?
Not automatically. Set it as your skill goal or add the steps from the catalog, and Kolibi tracks every step and suggests the next one when you hit your target.
