excellent contribution!! I have watched hours of explanatory videos and it is the first time I have found exercises to train the transition... thank you!

Thanks for your content. Please keep them coming🙏

Great vid, thanks.

Amazing video, it all makes sense.

Thank you sir. Great explanation 🫡

Great stuff.

Absolutely effective explanations 👌💪

Thank you Suksma bli ❤

I was training negatives for a while before getting the muscle-up, going progressively lower before pressing back out. Great way to work the transition. Also, the pull-over is a fantastic exercise in it's own right. Great video. Thank you.

Seems, it's a unique tip and specific info about MU. Many thanks for your impulse and attitude! It looks like true invention in the science of fitness. Will try indeed!

Hi! So thanks for posting this. After watching the clip yesterday, I had a go this morning. I often train on my own but this time I was with a friend. Anyway, having not really thought it through, I went for it, and actually got most of the way up with the pullover! The problem was, early start, tired, didn't expect to get that far, and got sort of stuck in a v-shape, hanging over the bar! (about 9 feet up). Anyway, I asked my friend to pull my legs and it all worked out 😅😂 Looking forward to mastering it.

Awesome

Thank you

the right thing, I'll try

How did I know discover your channel before 🤯

This is great! Thanks :)

Very interesting content. Thanks Master 💪🏼

Very interesting.

Great video! You're an inspiration for my older self 💞

This video is a treasure chest for me! Im 50 and pretty strong but having so difficulty with the muscle up negative. The way you’ve explained goes he’s me HOPE to build my eccentric strength enough to eventually pull off a slow muscle up 😅😅💪

I've been trying to do a standard muscle up for over a year now. My progress is sloooow but Im not giving up. Thanks for these negative tips which I think will help my standard muscle up too. Nice video - you have yourself a new subscriber :)

Great content, loved that you used physics to explain🤝 subscribed

Thanks for a great tip. It has helped my negatives a lot. Unfortunately, I have Olive Oyl forearms so developing the strength required to master this move is still quite a way off but I'm making progress.

First time I blew out my rotator cuff was training muscle ups.

i can do a slow muscle up on a square bar making the most difficult part, the false grip easier. naturally I'm looking to strengthen my forearms .

Very helpful tip! I just struggling with the Transition for the slow MU, ironically I can do MU in bar (with kipping) but not in the rings

Im struggling with the freaking muscle up. I can do 41kg pull and chinu up. If this gets my first muscle up i kinda owe you

Great video!! Question for you. What are your posts made out of? I’m looking to build a strong sturdy setup and yours has literally no sway or movement whatsoever

Hi! I'm actually just commenting to help the algorithm; this is the first video post I see from your channel but it really resonates with me and I think it's a pity I never saw your channel before! I only saw this one video. I guess, despite me being a woman in my very early 30's, we have a considerable overlap in BW skill strength (not elite in most regards, but certainly no beginners either, and perhaps even a few rather advanced skills under the belt - for some reason the manna came relatively "easy" to me.)(Don't be mistaken, it was still hard.) Anyways what enthused me to subscribe instantly was not the estimated skill level but rather the suspected level of _experience_ , as in: time spent besides training on effectively figuring out what works and why. This is a pretty rare feature. Or maybe more people have it but if they do, they tend not to show it - rather they show off :) Anyways.. Yours seems like an interesting channel, glad to have stumbled upon it. Cheers! :)

That seems like a very useful hint! I am struggling with muscle-ups for over three years now. I did my two consecutive after like 3 months, then nothing for over 6 months, then one at most again and then nothing for next two years. Working on them all the time, my philosophy is "the goal is the way itself" but.. 😅 I watched hundreds of tutorials, heard many advices. Training my core every single morning before work for 1,5 year. Following Chris Heria and his Muscle-up preparation. Spend at least 6 days a week of at least one hour training. I know, it sounds too much but I am training for over 25 years regularly and I am looking for variations of training so to not get over trained. Also, I am 41 years young 😁 Again, I love training and "the goal is the way itself". To get to the point - your video and hints looks very usable 💪 Can't wait to try it! Thanks for your help & I will let you know if it helps

From open aging warrior to another, cheers! Today I just unlocked the kipping muscle up; but can only do one at a time so far. Do you think I could/should just start working this transition? Or should I work to improve my kipping ones first?

You're strong enough

I struggle with the false grip. My wrist are pretty sensitve and inflexible. So, i find the bar easier than rings because of the weak false grip. I am able to do jumping muscle ups, high pull ups and bands assisted muscle ups. For weighted pull ups, i can do sets of 3 to 35kg plates. The weak link is on the range of motion beyond the chest. I am just powering to get it higher. I cannot do an isometric hold beyond the chest. When i test with the lats pulldown machine, its the same. I can do to 17 plates to around the chest but pulling beyond. I struggle with 12 plates.

Can you tell me where you got those steel beams for your pull-up bars? I want something like that in my back yard

I'm fairly similar to you in terms of build and age, but my background is climbing, not gymnastics or calisthenics. I got interested in dynamic MU's last year, which led to the slow variant. Not being interested in gymnastics, I didn't see any reason to develop the false grip. I can currently do what I consider to be a clean (but certainly not perfect) single rep on this movement with overhand, but not false grip. From what I can tell, you are stronger than me on the negative phase. But I don't think it's a massively big deal to do the positive phase without a true false grip. Other than reasonably controlled dynamic MU's, the main two exercises I used to train the slow MU are low dips and self-spotted slow MU's, both on a low bar at upper chest height from the ground. It took me a few months to progress these exercises to a solid high-bar rep. My current high-bar process is to start standing on an elevated block, grip the bar with my thumbs pointed forward (call that 9:00), then step down to a dead hang, pause, and execute the movement as slowly as practical. My initial grip on the bar is more like 7:00, but it slips to 9:00 when I step into the dead hang. My initial grip for dynamic MU's is a bit less aggressive, but I start with thumbs at 9:00 before taking my feet off the ground. Thumbs are probably more like 10:00 at the bottom position on subsequent reps. My natural grip for pull ups puts thumbs closer to 11:00. Experimenting with the upper part of the transition on the low bar, it's easy to see that advancing the grip from 11:00 toward 6:00 makes it much easier to go over the bar, because it reduces the moment arm at your forearm, and makes it easier to get your forearms above horizontal (at which point the triceps can engage). I am disproportionately strong in the forearms from climbing, but the "contact force" that advanced climbing demands is not the same thing as grip strength, which is basically just forearm flexion. Either way, grip strength is not a limiting factor for me on this movement. For me, I'd say the limiting factor is establishing a combination of body position and flexural wrist rotation to get my forearms high enough to allow the triceps to engage. Rotating the grip forward tends to elevate the elbows as well as reducing the moment arm. So my general advice for training this would be to work on low-bar dips, piking and getting as deep into the transition as possible, and also practice just going over the low bar - and progress that into a foot-spotted slow MU with as little assistance as possible. Do sets of maybe 10 on the dips and single reps on the self-spot exercise with short rest intervals between.

great stuff, im doing normal muscle ups now and when i go back down i do what you demonstrated in the video! i hope to get better at it but a false grip is hard for a person with poor forearm genetics

Ur video helped me to learn false grip muscle up. Thank you. Now i am learning weighted pull ups ( upto extra 80 % of body weight for learn one arm pull up) I am doing mobility training+ weighted pull up only ( high intensity, 3 rep, 4 set). Is it enough? Or can I add ( pull up or other) more exercises to speed up my result ?

I'm going to add ankle weights to help

Usted es Popeye!💪 saludos desde Puebla México!!!🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽

he just built different 1:10

I'm still struggling with getting one kipping Muscle up ha...

My core not strong enough for this lol

Can you also do a fast muscle up?

I believe in you. you'll get the planche. if we keep watching your stuff and holding you accountable.

This video should have started at 1:55 without the intro...
