This was the point of my question. How much weight can you actually fit in a backpack? [/quote]
I’m pretty confident that I could get 3 plates (135lbs) into a backpack. I can’t imagine needing more than that for the 1 arm version. And by that time, I will most likely feel comfortable loading my lower back.

I think the SS method would be perfect for these exercises.[/quote]
Only because no one does them. As soon as someone gets huge doing them, then they are no longer effective for anyone. Didn’t you read the thread dude?

Probably not a whole lot. I would personally prefer putting plates on your chest or using a weight vest. The plates are hard to balance at first but you get used to it and it actually forces you to keep your core tight so the plates don’t slide around. Like I said though, progression with these is not always weight related. Usually, it is best to switch to harder variations and make the leverages harder.
With the 1 arm variation, you would really need a weight vest to add weight. With feet elevated though, I think most people will find no weight is needed. It’s funny because these are called fat man pullups so I think many people think it’s really easy. Fat man pullups though is in reference to having your feet on the floor and the bar high up. When you raise your feet and lower the bar and do them strict, most people find there numbers aren’t too far off what they do for pullups (meaning you don’t need a ton of weight in most cases).
