Here is a 200 kg gorilla doing a one arm pull-up, you have to be very strong to weight that much and do a one arm pull-up:
The founder of high intensity training (HIT), Arthur Jones, came up with the system while watching his 200kg pet gorilla do a one arm pull-up as if it weighed as much as a marmoset monkey (we have no idea what he's doing with a gorilla as a pet, but that's beside the point).
The reason behind this incredible strength was because gorillas in the wild do almost no physical activity. But when they do work, they go at it with 100% intensity. The activity is hard, brief and infrequent. But if you exercised a male lion or gorilla as much as most bodybuilders do you'd probably kill them – and it's certainly obvious they don't need that much training to get so big. Neither do you. The truth is you don't need to slog it out for hours in the gym to get alpha male muscles. Just stick to these principles to maximise the gains from your efforts.
Working with 80% of your 1 rep max you should manage 8-12 repetitions which means each sets should last no more than 120 seconds. Always aim to do more repetitions on each exercise in your next workout than you did in your previous workout. When you get to 12, add more weight.
