How To Perform A Bar Muscle-Up with Frank Medrano 

Bruce was kind of cocky

DragonRumber Not really... but he easily could have been.

DragonRumber no, he just looked like he was

JaseDBZ I said the same thing when I first saw him. Just has that totally shredded jungle cat physique.

Less talk, More action :)

How long have you traines to Do it:)

Awesome man

CraftyFoxe no barbell rows though just do Canadian pull-ups

Paul it took me around a full year to master. Some tips I can suggest that can help you is for the real muscle up use a proper straight bar(thinner is easier), but one where you have a lot of room to hang your feet. When I started I remember practicing with monkey bars at the park that my legs can touch the ground and its curved grip, it is way harder to get up there(no momentum) and I mostly did negatives on those. But I went to another park with proper equipment and that's where I did my very first muscle up. A big thing is momentum, you have to use it to your advantage, step back and then jump forward and grab the bar and when your tipping point is reached tuck your legs back and swing your hip to match the bar and lean forward. Another thing you can do is going on a cut and lose some fat, I lost like 10 pounds and your body just feels a lot lighter and easier to control even though I'm already skinny. So after I've been able to do muscle ups, now I can even do it on the short monkey bars which I couldn't before. Sorry for the late reply, but thanks guys for the thumbs up :)

James Quimby Never give up!

try front levers

dasdasdsa It's better to start from the basics

Man, i've learnt kipping MU before 2 days, i could do it much sooner, but i never tried it and trained only explosive pull ups, so combine the kipping, it will help u get the tecnique :) If you are still stuggling with it of course :)

Wow, inspiring goal! Did you make it?

You're over here laughing behind a screen on RU-vid at a fit man who is learning how to perform an incredibly strenuous calisthenic exercise. That man also owns Metroflex LBC. That man feeds off laughter to get wherever he is.

+Myles Lenaught Uh a pullover is not an incredibly strenuous anything lol. I am a complete noob and did one flawlessly first try. A muscle up on the other hand, is an incredibly strenuous exercise.

I died laugthing the entire time too. :-)

A RIPPED crackhead.

Crackheads are usually ripped ,, no food and that lool

+dan calis like saitama

+dan calls the rock was on crack in the movie "pain and gain" lol

For real? I don't think he looks anything like the Rock. Like, at all.

😂😂😂

He probably thought to himself, why are you guys having troubles with this? I thought I could do that when I was a baby.

It takes time, however don't attempt this on a high bar either. haha

It's a process. Big Boy (300+lbs.) athlete, just executed a muscle up through Franks teachings.

Takes time, how has your progress changed since watching this originally.

+Matt Bendickson xaxa this made my day

+Matt Bendickson I'm pretty sure Frank was a little worried as well lol

+Matt Bendickson I know right! I thought he was going to slip off the bar and fall on his head, glad I wasn't the only one!

not neck i think he could have been brake his wee xdd

Any progress on your attempts

Good point.

Agreed.

Metroflex in Long Beach CA. It was a great gym. The only problem I ever had was it was so far away from where I lived.

Boundaries are always pushed here!

you all can do it too! I maybe athletic but am not exceptionaly strong, my current chinup routine: 9x3 behind the neck (bar to the trapezius) 7x3 wide gripe (chin over bar) 6x3 narrow grip pullup (bar to nipples) *very strict form all, 1 min rest

Goal accomplished.

im dead xDDD

2k1ppp I think his nose is beautiful though

Thank you

LOOOOOOL

LOOOOOOL :DD

LOOOOOOL :DD

LOOOOOOL :DD

LOOOOL :DD

I think when you're stuck on a high bar like that, you have no choice but to make it happen. haha

Lol nope

precise definition

Always!

Some operation rooms are fun!

challenge accepted

Thank you

You're Welcome

Great!

That's all we got here at Metroflex!

RSBLMC92 Umm no. Doing straight bar dips [like that] only activates your chest more. If you have any sort of tension in your shoulders, or upper body in general, while doing them you'll be fine.

i doesn't only activate the chest more. wether you´re have a strong upper body or not, doing the dips like that, will stress your shoulder a lot and in time you will get an shoulder injury. I had to go through that already

RSBLMC92 In that case you were doing them wrong, with a bad form most likely. I've had no problems with my shoulders doing straight bar dips for years.

thats what i mean. now i also have no problems with straight bar dips, because i keep the elbows in. elbows out is just wrong. the doctor told me the same

RSBLMC92 There is no actual danger to your shoulders even if you did elbows out. The only difference is more activation on your chest rather than your triceps. Your body is not as weak as you might think. And if "the doctor" is not a gymnastics coach, I assume he doesn't know better.

Agreed.

That would be fun to watch!

There's footage of a smile somewhere deep in the internet. HAHA
