Mate, why didn’t I find this video 6 months ago. You’ve answered so many things I was stuck on. I can do one but it’s ugly and this will help me completey clean it up. Thank you buddy 😊
This was very insightful, and deserves a like and comment! I never thought of 1. the depth of the dip in the Russian dip, 2. the range of motion in the "drop" in the Russian dip, 3. the width of your hands on the bar. Thanks for the new ideas!
Impressive. I’m 56 but strong, and have been training pull ups for a couple of years. My goal is to muscle up, but I’m useless at getting over that bar. I can pull to the chest but that’s it. I’ll train this technique. Thank you. From Australia
Grip is huge, I just did a workout with some gloves (and false grip) and it was a game changer. The Russian dip is another thing I need to try, never saw the correlation between it and the muscle up transition. Great stuff!
As always, such a great treasure of tips that other tutorials never mention! Never looked at the Russian dip alternative and always tried straight bar negatives. Thank you, yet again!
False grip with hands tilted inward as well as a close grip look like game changing modifications for this. I can only do strict form when my palms rests over the bar or beam and I use my finger tips to grip as well.
Aware of false grip but did not consider closing the grip on the bar for a higher pull. Even though experiencing a higher pulling height practicing pulling pull ups in supination with hands naturally closer. I may have given more credit of a higher height due to supination. Thanks for the information. The observation makes sense now.
Uffff. That will take me a lifetime to master. What a diseaster

I can do 30+ deep dips, many explosive pull-ups, but I can't do any muscle-ups. I feel a failure in my triceps, exactly in the same region used during Russian dips, which I can't do even a single rep.
I’d recommend learning false grip ring muscle ups, spending lots of time on the transition exercises shown in this video th-cam.com/video/KekYFHtJTyw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=mqeB1f8gSULFcA9w
I've adapted your ideas onto gymnastic rings that I hang from my pullup bar, I have that exact same yellow bar but it is still to difficult for me, so I have the rings set as high as the bar and I also have a stretching band hanging from the bar which I place under myself and I try to do that mini muscle up with my feet on the ground, it is a killer on my triceps but I think I can go from here to muscle up.
Masyaa Allah Bro crazy to see and to know that your pulling and pushing power, skills, and tricks are soooo amazing at that age!! btw what you do in your 20-30s Bro? must be at simonster level or maybe higher btw I was good at pushing things hitting one arm handstand for few seconds and did some powermoves (airflares, flares, etc) I was a breakboy back in the day, I also follow simonster too back at our younger age (now Iam 36) now I revisiting my gymnastic and breaking skills but also try to build my pulling skills (5 L sit pullup from dead hand is ok for me now) and now Iam targeting to unlock some tricky skills like muscle up, etc but there is one problem I cannot find any good training pattern (not yet) as I go for my planche progression,, my pulling things are just like set aside then I have to rebuild it later after my muscles from pushing sessions (few days) are restored kinda slow progression hahaha also just found out some clicking at my wrist, shoulder (rotator), left crotch (caused by flare) my internal elbow also hurt when i try to rotate it to support the plance,, that seems that I also need to spare time for a muscle rehab (since here are still not so may PTs) also I know some names of crazy athletes especially gymnastic, calisthenics, street workout, and bboys from Australia.. seems that You guys have a great support system there compared to here in Indonesia hehe cheers
1:30 wrist position Ok so I have the strength to do high pull ups (About an inch or two below my pecs), but can't muscle up without a kip. My plan is to work on negatives because I think the transition is the part I'm missing. However I always just fall during the transition because my wrists slide around. I hope using this false grip will stop that. Any recommendations are welcome
@@PaulTwyman Thanks for your great channel. The light, thin therapy type resistance bands are also recommended for added friction. You just wrap them like you would tape but, since there's no adhesive, you can remove it when you're done. Handy for use at public gyms, parks and playgrounds where you don't want to permanently alter the bar.
@@PaulTwyman Yes, it sounds good. Also, just to thicken a bar, if desired. Mind you, I haven't tried it myself. But, speaking of that, what's your opinion on bar thickness for the strict muscle up? Is it easier on a thicker bar?
Pretty accurately told things. But the one important thing. When you guys train, don't use the tapes and all the stuff. Train in a real situation, use the usual bar without any tapes, if you can it will be better to choose wider bar than normal, and you can even literally use some oil on it to make your training harder, cuz after that you will show better results. "If you going to fight in a rain, train for the fight in the storm".
Exactly! I was able to do 15 - 20 pull ups and around 25 bar dips and I was NOT able to do any muscle up on ring (but was able to do 3 - 4 none strict muscle ups on high bar.). But definitely after 1 - 2 month of proper false grip training everything changed. Now I am able to do 6 - 7 strict muscle ups on rings. Proving that what you have said realy works well.@@PaulTwyman
You should be able to get it straight away. Might need to play with the grip slightly and how you position the body to go around the bar (often front lever MU is easier)
Developing the pull allows you to minimize or even eliminate the transition. Then you have the option to decide to pull lower as a form progression, if you want to. Rotating grip forward (not actual false grip, but wrist flexion) shortens the lever arm between your elbow and the bar and also places your wrist in a more mechanically advantageous position for the transition. So again, start with an aggressive grip, then you can extend back toward a normal pullup grip as a form progression. If you're working on a normal-height pullup bar that you can just reach from the ground, stand on a box to allow more wrist flexion. Then progress the height of the box down, so you get a less and less aggressive grip. th-cam.com/video/o8_ZbxAL2rU/w-d-xo.html
Yes definitely, I use this technique more for practicing faster Bar Muscle Ups (I need a slight kip). The box and slight swing forwards is a great way to teach it. For low bar like the yellow ones, Rings and Front Lever MU I prefer the False Grip version.
"Lets see if I can get this" proceeds to get in basically a front lever before initiating the movement

Great mentions about the transition to top of the bar. Training for false grip definitely helps with this part.
Yes its a great tool to have
Love the tape suggestion. Makes complete sense
Impressive.

Great! Let me know how you go with the Russian Dip
Love the eccentric progression. I’d never thought about that or seen it done before. Great vid
Glad you liked it!
The hand placement is such a nice tip, plus the transition strength that is totally needed, awesome
Glad it was helpful!
Did you just start the tutorial off the bat?
Love it!
Yes, I like to film my videos with no real plan apart from what I'm training that day
As always, such a great treasure of tips that other tutorials never mention! Never looked at the Russian dip alternative and always tried straight bar negatives. Thank you, yet again!

Thank you ! Let me know if you have any requests for videos
Best explanation and breakdown of movement I have seen, now I understand what to train 😍

Thank you for sharing this - this is super valuable
Glad it was helpful!
Great tips. Thanks!
Thank you for the tutorial! Just quality information and 0 bs
Glad it was helpful!
Detail and nicely explained.
I will definitely try it out sir.
Can you do a similar technical breakdown for the front lever pull ups?
Aware of false grip but did not consider closing the grip on the bar for a higher pull.
Even though experiencing a higher pulling height practicing pulling pull ups in supination with hands naturally closer. I may have given more credit of a higher height due to supination. Thanks for the information. The observation makes sense now.
You're a legend my man.
Paul, thank you! I will add your exercises to my workouts.
Awesome
I would love a link for the pull up bar set up you got!
Thanks for sharing your detailed knowledge!
Glad it was helpful!
If you're using a false grip on the pull up part of it, would that mean you also maintain the false grip for the dip as well?
super tutorial and nice to see a hard worker without doping testo injections
Thanks!! Glad you liked it!
The is the progression video I needed. Thx for the creative details on how to train to… Now is up to my doing what you displayed here.

What is that red, tall height adjustable pull up / muscle up bar called. It looks cool and was thinking about buying it. Thanks
Masyaa Allah Bro
crazy to see and to know that your pulling and pushing power, skills, and tricks are soooo amazing at that age!!
btw what you do in your 20-30s Bro?
must be at simonster level or maybe higher
btw I was good at pushing things
hitting one arm handstand for few seconds and did some powermoves (airflares, flares, etc)

but also try to build my pulling skills (5 L sit pullup from dead hand is ok for me now) and now Iam targeting to unlock some tricky skills like muscle up, etc
but there is one problem
I cannot find any good training pattern (not yet)
as I go for my planche progression,, my pulling things are just like set aside then I have to rebuild it later after my muscles from pushing sessions (few days) are restored
kinda slow progression hahaha
also just found out some clicking at my wrist, shoulder (rotator), left crotch (caused by flare)
my internal elbow also hurt when i try to rotate it to support the plance,, that seems that I also need to spare time for a muscle rehab (since here are still not so may PTs)

Any recommendations are welcome
Try playing with different widths (between hands) and different bars. Sounds like you are very close to
@@PaulTwyman Thanks I'll try that too
Any particular tape you recommend?
Going to try that with my dip bars to try it out.
How many reps or sets should we spend in the transition part?
this was an incredible video thanks buddy
Thank you !
Great tutorial. Can you tell the brand of the tape? Thanks
D3 Rigid Tape from Coles (supermarket) in Australia
@@PaulTwymanthank you very much
Can you link the bars you purchased?
Hello mr paul thanks for such work, keeep up
And
Can u make a tutorial about clapping handstand pushups
I've never tried Clapping HSPU, I prefer cleaner deep versions than dynamic.
@@PaulTwyman oh i seee anyway thanks for the tip🙏
😮😮😮😮 good lord the video I was looking for 😉👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great to hear!
It was mentioned "sports/physio tape" for wrapping the bars, is that so ? When I look for this these seem to be tapes for putting on the skin/arm..
Yes thats the tape.

Nice. One suggestion though...when you set up a bar set like that, do it away from your car...😁
Noted! :)

"If you going to fight in a rain, train for the fight in the storm".
Yes you could definitely go the other direction and purposely make things harder!
For me the difference was a false grip, if you have strong false grip, than you are good to go for muscle up on rings or bars.
Yes definitely, I'm the same lots of False Grip training on the Rings
Exactly! I was able to do 15 - 20 pull ups and around 25 bar dips and I was NOT able to do any muscle up on ring (but was able to do 3 - 4 none strict muscle ups on high bar.).

thanks very much,,,,russian dip ---yes........you have unlocked my strength potentials
Excellent!
I never tried them on the bar. But I can get solid 7 slow reps on rings. How easy will it be for me to achieve on bar?
You should be able to get it straight away. Might need to play with the grip slightly and how you position the body to go around the bar (often front lever MU is easier)
@@PaulTwyman Thanks. I'll be trying it when summer hits and the snow melts
How tall are the bars?
Developing the pull allows you to minimize or even eliminate the transition. Then you have the option to decide to pull lower as a form progression, if you want to.
Rotating grip forward (not actual false grip, but wrist flexion) shortens the lever arm between your elbow and the bar and also places your wrist in a more mechanically advantageous position for the transition.

If you're working on a normal-height pullup bar that you can just reach from the ground, stand on a box to allow more wrist flexion. Then progress the height of the box down, so you get a less and less aggressive grip.

Why do you have a tattoo 8 in Chinese?
My lucky number, met my wife, first child was born on 8th, my birthday, my wife birthday.... 8 keeps coming up
@@PaulTwyman That has to be the first sensible answer to a question about tattoo ( seriously) I have heard in eight years 😅
Great vid. On pronunciation, eccentric is pronounced ek-centric :)
Oh thank you! :)
For me it was basically: getting 4 ring muscle-ups, false grip, some chalk and the bar muscle-up was not that hard.
