I hope you are doing well, Rob. I'm sure I'm not the only one who mises your videos. I hope this year you decide to come back and keep discussing calisthenics. Take care!
Hi Rob, I just came across this channel and found it extremely informative and useful for my aging (non-warrior) journey. Just wishing you good health in 2025!
Good stuff. One of my projects for this winter is a slow MU with just a standard pullup grip. So you have to rotate the grip as you go through the transition and the lever arm is longer than it is with a false grip or normal MU over-grip. My approach is to progress the movement using shorter and shorter blocks until I'm at the ground position I use for a normal dynamic MU. I'm also regressing the rate of pull/power aspect a bit. I started the cali stuff at 57, and I'll be 60 in March. There's plenty of growth left in the tank. :-)
Yeah, sorry - I shouldn't assume that everyone has followed all my videos. Very soon after the muscle up videos from 2021, I injured my right shoulder pretty badly. Then last year I injured my left shoulder and ended up breaking a biceps tendon. So now it's almost 3 years later, and I've had one surgery and almost continuous physical therapy the whole time. I am still trying to overcome all my problems, and at the moment it's going pretty well. Incidentally, I don't think my injuries were directly related to muscle ups. When I first hurt my right shoulder, I was working on a planche.
@@The_Aging_Warrior I'm recovering from a shoulder injury myself this two months. I think it was caused by me trying weighted calisthenics and by not doing enough warmup before the workout. Thanks for responding. Hope you fully recover. Godspeed
Thanks! About the ring muscle ups - I don't really know. But if you can already do them, just keep practicing. Doing a lot of negatives would probably help. And also doing positive reps with assist (like - one foot on the ground). And doing pullups on rings with a false grip, and deep dips.
Congrats, you are an inspiration to us. I'm 48 yo, recently achieved fast muscle up (max. 3 in a row) and also tried doing slow muscle ups with false grip without any luck. I can do 5-6 chest to bar pull ups with false grip but I stuck at the top position. The problem is my elbows started to hurt and I'm afraid of an injury which already might have started happening. I see you are wearing wraps around the elbows, do you also feel pain? Have ever injured your elbows?
Thanks! Yeah, I've had some elbow problems. I hurt my right elbow almost 5 years ago doing really deep handstand pushups, and I started wearing the elbow wraps. I don't know if they helped or not. But in the meantime, because of all my shoulder problems, I've taken so much time off that my elbow problems faded away. I do get some pain at the top of high pullups now, but it's not too bad. But if I ever get a sharp pain again, I'll immediately back off.
The uprights are "4x4" steel posts - actually hollow steel tubes with 1/4" thick walls. I made a video about the construction: th-cam.com/video/mXeNRC1E19U/w-d-xo.html

Very impressed - inspirational stuff!

Good job! Keep going - I'm sure you're get it!
@@The_Aging_Warrior I got it :)
Can you please elaborate on the things that went quickly downhill? And are you trying to overcome this things

@@The_Aging_Warrior how's it going?
Ola, eu vi seu video! Excelente. Mas me diga como melhorar( aumentar) a quantidade de ring muscle ups?

@@The_Aging_Warrior thank you for your atention. I am your fã. Great atletha

...also, if you still want to work on slow muscle ups, negatives are probably the best way. They're a lot easier on all your joints.
Could you please say how thick is this upright? I only found uprights with 3mm of thickness
The uprights are "4x4" steel posts - actually hollow steel tubes with 1/4" thick walls. I made a video about the construction: th-cam.com/video/mXeNRC1E19U/w-d-xo.html
