Hitting my first one a couple days ago after about 2 months of the gym was a great feeling, did 2 in a row today and had some big dude at my gym complement me on it, my heart 🥹
@@SLvLverse honestly , I only did regular dips , i tried some straight bar dips , just for 2 days before i did my first muscle up , but for me personally regular dips helped me the most 👍🏼
I had a few days off from pull ups. I was on level 3 and piverting my arms quite straight but and getting good height. Saw someone doing them in the gym, he watched me and said 'No way can you not do muscle ups, you're height is perfect'. I just tried with minimal swing and got straight up there. I did about 5 without any hassle. I left with the biggest smile, I've been trying for months and bang I unlocked the code
Explosive would help you train the bottom but weighted would help across the full range, he’d probably suggest both equally if possible, weighted movements helped me blow up my strength though and be more explosive so use weight if it’s an option and have explosive intention on every rep
You can train both in separate days maybe also in a daily undulation periodisation way too. Which means you have a strength/heavy day doing weighted pull ups and a technique day wherein you approach your main lift with the less weight more stimulus modulations such as longer eccentrics, pauses and explosive concentrics and so forth
Thank you for the progression movie. Will try these! I see you don't use a false grip. Is that true? I'm into pull-ups lately and find them much more easier to do with finger grips. Can you confirm you do this as well?
Someone told me u gotta do 70% of your body weight on a weighted pull ups to do a muscle up. But idk if it’s true or not. I’m currently at 57% of my body weight pull ups. I gotta be able to pull 20 pounds more than what I’m at right now I guess. I mean I’ve never tried a muscle up, but I think I could get it right now though if I practice the form a bit and use a Kipp or momentum. But I believe the goal is to be able to do it without a Kipp right? And as little momentum as possible. To achieve true muscle up
@@Agent_BIack Yeah that sounds about right, i can do 50% my bodyweight atm for a few pull ups. Been practicing the slow movement and realised i HAVE to practice my false grip now.
@@harleyrandall7863 never knew what false grip was till today. Looks harder for sure. I mean I do my pull ups kinda weird tho I use only my fingers like a suicide grip. If u were doing bench press that unsafe way lol I do that with my weighted pull ups. Feels more comfortable for me idk if that’s building grip strength bcuz I’m just using my fingers instead of locking my wrist in place by placing my thumb underneath the bar
dude the muscle up is the easiest here listen guys if theres one thing i learnt from my handstand journey is if u wanna do something just do it… no need stretching or useless exercises for shoulders(talking bout handstand) just go to the wall and learn it
Used to watch dudes kip but instead of pulling up they just try to get their arms as parallel with the floor as possible on the swing up. Is that useful?
I am between level 2 and 3 and can already do 3 muscle ups (not strict form) being able to crank out 6 reps of level 3 pull ups will put you in the position to muscle up comfortably
