Kongo asked me to create this market because of a negative balance.
Resolves YES if Kongo does it and posts a video in the comments.
Any questions for Kongo, tag them in the comments. Kongo, if you want me to update the description, let me know.
(A one arm muscle up looks like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZK2IyGJKrgs (this guy is not Kongo). It's a really, really hard exercise!)
Resolves according to Fion's timezone, unless Kongo requests otherwise.
I will bet in this market, and I assume Kongo will as well. (It's an incentive market after all.)
All trader bonuses will be managrammed to Kongo, assuming I remember and manage to keep track.

Feel confident. I might be around 5%, but that progress from 2% is so noticable.
but
During the last training realised how painful it is to lean on ribs. It is either ribs (and i feel how they bent under my weight), or pectoral muscle (and it is difficult to use it further after it is compressed). I think that is why people often use the armpit as a hook - it is also painful, but at least not the working side.
Session 6. No discomfort like after previous sessions.
Decided to no copy the approaches from youtube and do what feels most suitable for my body: do the forward swing with full body, and when falling back use the momentum to go around the bar on half-bent arm. I do not want to be in a position where they get a fully bent elbow pointing up. It feels like a locking position, difficult to move further, so i will try to avoid this intermidiate position
Session 2 done.
Due to the morning routine managed to perform a one arm pullup in the evening. Catched up in 10 hours, haha.
Session 1.
I have not been training for the whole semester. I lost the ability to onehand pullup, but i feel that i will catch back in a week or two.
Current weeknesses:
Fingers fail from such a sharp acceleration when i pull (when tried the second video's approach, link below).
In training the upper part (when elbow is already above) i can push for a centimeter, but my bodyplane is orthogonal to the bar. I've watched some videos of how people keep the plane straight: it is usually some cheat. They hook with another armpit. Some use weight in their free hand to help bend over the bar. I will try to avoid both of those cheats: "onearm" for me means that the free arm does not touch anything.
People in the internet seem to not care about those when commenting their videos, but
I picked couple videos which in my opinion are fair (in Magnus video in the market description he seems to have lost balance and used his leg to stop rotation).
