A real pain to master, but something that will make your biceps massive if you can do it. I'm not saying when you can do it, I'm saying if because it's so incredibly advanced in calisthenics. You're supporting your entire body weight by one arm, and pulling it up. That so happens to be the equivalent of a one handed handstand push up, you just don't require balance.
You don't have to look like that guy in the picture there when you do it, but you do have to be able to pull yourself up. It's so hard! I know! It's like you got a bad batch of pencils and they keep breaking, because you can't get it.
Now if you do learn how to do one arm pull ups, your biceps will swell like crazy because they have to be able to put up with the stress.
I recommend you be able to do about 25 controlled pull ups in a row before you start moving to this one.
When you pull upwards, you should start out with fingers on the bar with the other hand, and start to take one away at a time as you get into it. Soon enough, you'll be at your index finger, and then you can move to your ring finger or your pinky since those two have the least gripping strength.
When you pull up, it's so much as getting to the part of making your elbow bend, you just have grit through the attempts each time until you can actually get it to bend and your entire bicep pulls all of your body weight up. There's really no need to give the step by step instructions because this happens to be rather simple, just incredibly hard.
Your body will face sideways if you're using a horizontal bar, that's entirely normal for this exercise because the way your body moves, it's the way you'll end up facing. Now one armed front levers, that's a different story. But soon enough, I'll offer a step by step tutorial on those, for now though, stick to one handed pull ups if you're even there. Good luck.
