    Because of you, I tried to do this as a sophomore in college. I got to the point to where I could do 7 pull ups and plenty of dips unassisted. I purchased the resistance bands, expecting to be able to do an assisted muscle up, no problem. I struggled exactly like you did, and got discouraged thinking I had the strength to do it, just like you did. I was also working out outside like you, but it became winter so I stopped. (Not an excuse, but I tell myself it is.) Fast forward 4 years later, I watch this video again and see my fiancé bettering herself by working out and changing her body for the better. I began training pull ups again last month, and ordered more resistance bands because I lost the others. 2 days ago, I was able to do my first assisted muscle up with 3 bands. Tonight I did 8 in a row, then 3 in a row, then 1 more. Getting over that bar was the most amazing feeling. I watch your video almost daily now all the way through to know that it is possible for me to do this, and it keeps me motivated to train harder, eat better, make sacrifices and live healthy. Thanks Mike

    I like this vid because it shows a guy really struggling to learn a muscle up instead of a super buff dude who it makes it look so easy. It appears to me the bands must have really helped. I think now that maybe they will help me. I am 71 years old and can do 13 clean pull ups because I have spent the last 6 months getting stronger with pull ups, push ups, shoulder dips, and Burpees. So I know now I have the strength, what I do not have is the technique. I guess the bands will help with that. It's worth a try. A lot of young guys at the park tell me they know I have the strength but they are not quite good enough and coaching me on the technique. Enjoyed your video.

    This video was really inspirational to me. Ever since watching it I've wanted to be able to do muscle ups myself. I was beginning at a similar position to you, able to do 5 unassisted pull ups. I started in the summer and now at the beginning of December I managed my first 3 consecutive unassisted muscle ups. I've watched this video many times, and it gave me the drive to continue. One thing I would say to anyone else teaching themselves muscle ups is just to be careful of your elbows and tendons, because it's easy to injure yourself given all the accumulated shocks through the elbows. If you feel pain, stop and consult someone to make sure you're you're not going to cause yourself issues. I had this briefly but managed to ease back into training. Thanks again though to Mike for the inspiration to achieve this

    When I got into calisthenics i was 14 years old. I have a fitness park near my house. After school me and other 2 friends went to this park. At first i was only able to do 2 pull ups. In a short period of time my other friend did his first muscle up, that's when i found this video. It motivated me ALOT. I started to practice but I still wasnt even near to do one. I did 5 pull ups at this point. I kept rewatching this vid to get motivated even more and it worked. This time i rly was practicing hard. After 2 months i was able to do 10 pull ups and i could do chicken wing muscle ups. But i wasnt satisfied with that so i trained even harder. In 2 months i am finally able to do a muscle up. Took me almost half a year i think.
    Thank you for the motivation, I felt like i should write this cos you motivated me so much . :)
    Edit: i can do 15 now, keep pushing you will get it :D

  • @lukehewko260
    @lukehewko260 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2530

    I used to teach these all the time, and there are a few ways to do them faster and easier.
    1: Get extremely explosive doing perfect form pullups. This is starting from a complete dead hang, and pulling all the way until your chest presses into the bar. If you cheat this, it's only going to take longer and you'll need to sacrifice somewhere else to make it happen, leading to a really ugly muscle up. You don't need to be able to do 20 regular ones this way, but being able to do a few with a lot of explosiveness is key.
    2: When you've got the pull up section down and you're consistently getting to the top quickly and you start your attempts at transitioning to the dip, act as though directly above the bar there's a pane of glass. Try to smash the glass with your forehead. You've probably heard that your body tends to follow your head, and this is no exception. Use the momentum to bring your shoulders, then upper arms, then elbows over the bar. The dip is by a wide margin the easiest part, so to be honest I wouldn't even worry about it unless you're awful at them.
    3. Less volume, more frequency. Doing fewer reps and sets per day, but doing it every day will get most people there way faster. People think you don't have enough time to recover, but with less workload per day, there's less to recover FROM. In addition, all exercises with complicated motions (bench press, squat, deadlift, clean and jerk, snatch, etc) are SKILLS as much as they are strength based. Muscle ups absolutely fit into this category. Skills in general improve faster the more often you practice them, rather than how much time you spend doing them per session.
    I sincerely hope this helps somebody!

    • @AwesomeSmiley87
      @AwesomeSmiley87 4 ปีที่แล้ว +79

      I will try this out. Right now I can do about 17 consecutive pull-ups (not explosive). Update will follow of course, but be patient lol.
      EDIT: Just an update. I have done some muscle ups with elastics before corona, but have had to put it in a break since I don't own a pull up bar. I do have some dumbbells at home to train with tho so I can still train somewhat :)
      EDIT 2: Damn 8 months has passed. I have had my ups and downs with fitness, but you know what? I can do muscle ups! I still chicken wing (working on that) and I need some kip, but I can do a few now. If you're wondering how I did it, here's how. I actually followed a proper workout plan and paid attention to my diet (mostly cut down on alcohol haha). I put muscle ups on hold for a while, while training the whole body (including back and biceps), gained some muscle and tried a few days ago with success! So if I can do it, you can also.

      Gepru, take in mind that a muscle up on gymnastics rings requires different strategy and technique, when I tried to learn it before even attempting it on the rings I looked at some youtube videos that taught the technique very well, and then when I attempted it for the very first time I touched gymnastics rings I did about 4 muscle ups in a row
