This is a game changer thank you so much. Makes such a difference. Ive been struggling with toilet seat for years. What a difference this makes. THANKS
Ahhhhh THANK YOU for this tip because I've been "falling into the toilet" even when I successfully get over the rings and haven't been able to figure out what I was doing wrong.... can't wait to work on the snap pull this week!!
Travis ~ great video. Getting the snap pull a bit but once we pull back do I then pull the rings to my chest. Having a little trouble with the transition. Thanks.
Hi Travis, I appreciate your time and effort. I find your tips extremely helpful. Hey with this snap pull, what type of grips should be used? False grip?
Hey Cory, For kipping muscle-ups I highly recommend that you use a neutral grip (not false grip). Benefits of the grip are a more relaxed arm position throughout the swing and the ability to swing more aggressively. Furthermore, you are much less likely to rip or tear your hands or wrists with a neutral grip. Thank you Cory for letting me know how you feel about the videos! I hope to provide more useful content for you in the future :-) Feel free to set yourself up with a free trial of our Invictus Gymnastics Program if you want to work on all of your gymnastics movements. If you want to give it a shot, click the link in the video description.
Hey Thank you. I watched your bar muscle up videos and was successful the next day. I been perusing through your ring muscle up videos. After i complete the snap pull I "fall into the toilet." Not quite sure what to do after i initiate the snap pull. I plan on signing up for the online program you guys have available. Thank you so much for your videos and response.
Hi Ray. The double kick is usually because you bent the legs in the first place. As far as leverage goes for completing the transition, it's more advantageous to just keep your legs straight as you transition than to allow them to bend at all. I'm assuming you mean with short ring straps, but IMO there is no reason to bend the knees at all on short strap, hip driving muscle-ups.
@@travisewart2220 Thank you for the reply Travis, could i send you a video? I'm good doing MU's with false grip but really want non false. If yes to sending a video, do you have an email i can send to? Ray
@@travisewart2220 Yesterday, I looked at your pull back video and did the drills, grabbed the rings and up I went!! and now hitting the non-false grip MU's every time. Thanks Travis
Great vid thanks. As well as the snap pull can you give any tips for how to setup your grip so that consecutive RMUs become easier? I currently hold in a half-false grip but tend to lose the grip quite easily when descending into the next rep. Any tips appreciated...
Hey Shaun! This is a great question and is something that coach Travis works on with his athletes in his Gymnastics Program. If you'd like to receive more coaching from Travis, then please check out his program here: www.crossfitinvictus.com/invictusgymnastics/
I just wanted to say that this was exactly what I needed. I have been SO frustrated with my ring muscle-ups. *Something* was missing, and this was it! I was very hit-or-miss with them before, now just a week after this, I have multiple strung together, as long as I remember to pull back on the rings. THANK YOU so much!!!
Yesterday, I could only complete single kipping ring MUs altho 4-5 strict in a row. Having covered most of the internet I found this... the “toilet seat” position at the top was exactly my issue as my feet were always left very high. Others said throw your legs back but that doesn’t work if you needed them to do the fast situp. Also I always thought I should power down through the lats all the way to get the ring close to the hip After seeing this video last night, I’ve gone from 1-2 reps yesterday with a horrible second low dip landing, to 5 minutes of the snap drill and 5-6 flowing kipping ring muscle ups which felt so easy and landing nice and high. I never knew anyone did this, and actually anyone I’ve spoken to didn’t either. This is such a good still and so important that it probably gets overlooked when people are learning. Thank you Invictus, you’ve made my week!
Unfortunately this technique only works on the rings. We do have some other videos on the bar muscle-up if you are looking for tips. Just click to get into our channel and search Bar Muscle-Up!
The Snap pull worked for me for 20.5. That was the thing that was missing. Did 18 RMU and didn't chicken wing once. Thanks for the tip!!!
That is awesome to hear! Congratulations on 20.5!
This is a game changer thank you so much. Makes such a difference. Ive been struggling with toilet seat for years. What a difference this makes. THANKS
Watched this video and PBed my Muscle Ups! Fantastic content as always!
Awesome to hear that Lin!!
Wow, great explanation. The demo of the 3 athletes beginning @ 3:28 really brought it to life. Well done.

Awesome, Clive! Let us know how it goes 💪
Thanks a lot Travis!
I learned to do this In gymnastics where we put tension on the rings in the back and front of the rings.
That helped me out a great deal, thanks! Now I only need to find a way not to fall into the shoulders on the way back down.
Great to hear that Matthias!

He have always totally different ideas with other tutorials, idk how did him come up with them tho
Hi Travis
How do I stop doing the double kick with my feet on the transition?

It’s called a front uprise not a muscle up duh 🙄
Damn I thought this was a video about a real muscle up. Not the CrossFit ones
