How many pull-ups should I be able to do before I try and move onto doing one armed pull-ups? I know they're different (strength endurance vs maximum strength), but I would like to know what a good baseline is.

you won't be able to do one handed pull ups

i'd say 50 chin ups, or about 25-30 straight arm (going to bottom of arm length) before doing one armed
thats the amount of pull ups i do now, and i can do one armed now

What's the reasoning behind one-armed pull-ups besides being able to say you're able to?

there isnt any reasoning, it isnt a good workout as are over straining one arm and doing very litttle if not notihng with the other, it is jsut for show, far better to do regular pull ups using both arms

To develop greater strength than a normal pull-up will allow as you're essentially doubling the weight that each arm has to pull.

I would say you start two-arms with a backpack or weight belt, then work your way up, but the position/angle is different for one arm, right?

You should be able to do multiple reps, in multiple sets with a lot of added weight before you can do a 1 armed pull up but even then, nothing is guaranteed.

Saying you're able to do something and actually being able to do it, is good enough reason to do anything.
