Quite a nice one, Antony! I looked here now to show my wife your progress after I showed her a video I just made with my own rings, recently acquired. Your explanation is superb.
Thank you. I’ve just read your blog again, from the link on your channel. Your story is astonishing. You make the process seem so simple, which it is if you stick to it. Your are a true super hero in my book!
@@funwithcalisthenics I feel honored that you went back to the site to review my story once more - and that you rate it highly! I appreciate the callout. You and I have the same motivations with our TH-cam channels: sharing a journey that has been so meaningful to us in order, we fervently hope, to inspire others to take the all important steps that might change their own lives so powerfully as well! That's a great kinship going on here.
Thanks for you video...I'm myself need some motivation. Been doing rings for a least a yr. There are times I really don't feel like doing the exercises. The word QUIT comes to mind. But I know better.
Its easy too quit, and so hard to do. I totally get that. That’s one reason I just have short workouts.. and if I do plan on a decent length one, I try and make sure there are no distraction, and I set myself a set number of reps or sets to complete.. keep going brother.
I'm soon to be 55, and am presently in the early throes of rehabilitating from major shoulder surgery. This video is exactly the inspiration I need. I can't even manage one dip with the thickest resistance band at the moment. However, when recovery eventually allows, I need to start this journey. Thank you.
Thank you for creating these videos. I’m 55 and my goal is a muscle up. I had rotator cuff surgery last June, so it has become a goal for 2024. Your instruction is perfect. Thank you for the videos and the inspiration!!
You are very welcome. There seems to be millions of people around our age that still share the enthusiasm to do the muscle up, on the bar and rings. I love performing them both, so if my making these videos helps others, then I’m delighted. Thanks so much for your comment. I wish you well with your recovery.
Yes, i did IT same day i saw your video with biggest band, and yesterday 2 in a row on medium band, i was strugling with this excercise 1 year beacouse i was forcing me to do this without bands, i was able to do muscle ups on bar before, thank you
Travis, just watched a few of your videos. Day 1, was brilliant and great to keep it as a record. Since then your form has improved massively and you are on the right path. When I started I used so many bands at once, so the fact that you can do it with just 1 big band is good. Improving by 1% each day is a great way to look at it.
I appreciate that! That’s a great comment. And yes, upper body routines are harder for women, as we are built differently. But it is still possible, so keep going.. I wish you the very best. Let me know how you get on.
Working on this but haven’t been taking advantage of the bands. Will dedicate a few months to band training and see where I get. Encouraging and motivating- great stuff.
I achieved my first L-sit ring muscle up a few time ago. The key is the consistency and the perseverance. I didn't use loop but I only concentrate on false grip pull up strength, eccentric and transition. This was a personal choice. For Front lever and Back lever I used loop band. I train two times a week with calisthenics skills, other times I do animalflow, weights, Indian clubs, etc
Hey thats good to hear that you have such a variety of active sports, with a good use of the bands. I’m interested in animal flow, but never done it. Yet.
Congratulations on your teachings. I'm from Brazil, I used the WhatsApp translator. from Portuguese to English. May God continue to bless you with health. stay in the peace of Christ.
Excelent job explaning how to do this ,100% right you need to practice that movement first ,it is muscle memmory thing ,after while it become automated
Very good tutorial! 5:28 I think it's especially great that you recommend visualisation, because that's a tool that's being propagated much too little on TH-cam imo.
That’s a really good point. Visualisation is a major part of my mindset. I first started working on visualisation while I was learning karate, then during my marathon running days. Now during Calisthenics. Also I use it in the business world.. maybe a another video is required.
Hi, it’s available from Amazon if you are in the U.K. I have put a link below to my Amazon storefront, if you click on that you should see it. Thanks for subscribing. 💪👍
Awesome videos👏👏 how many times/ week you suggest training BMU's /week? I can do only 1 rep and maybe 6-8 with 1-3 min rest. My goal is to do 10 a row one day. Btw, it toik 2 years for me to do even 1😂
It’s great that you can do 1. You’ve learnt the technique! You just need to adapt it slightly to get your second, third, and fourth etc. Just train consistently!
Can you do the 1 leg planche ? There an older guy at my gym about to turn 60 he can do handstand and 1 leg planche . He was wondering is it possible for him to muscle up ? For me as a 27 years old I can do the straddle front lever for 5 seconds now ,straddle back lever,human flag and muscle up but couldn’t do rings muscle up . I’m hoping the guy at my gym will muscle up soon and I’m looking forward to ring muscle up
Здравствуйте, я хотел спросить у вас, когда вы начали заниматься в 55 лет, в молодости у вас какие были результаты? Вы превысили свои старые результаты?
@@Pull_UpsThe main function that the subconscious mind performs is to limit our consciousness so that it does not ruin your physical shell ahead of time. Demonstrate discipline and consistency, use the right motivation (all the girls at the disco will be mine - a very dubious motivator), live in harmony with nature and people, do wise things. And then, gradually, those limitations that are peculiar to most people will be removed, and new opportunities will appear.
@@funwithcalisthenics i mean naturally its not directly related to the exercise but you havent mentioned anything about the meds youre on which merely needs to be incidental with an effect toward being say vasoconstrictive or possibly stimulant and not specifically contraband to speak generically anyway this is mostly taking a view towards senior comments youre getting
I don’t talk about meds as I’m not on any meds. I do take creatine most days and a protein shake with a banana for my lunch. But no other supplements. For breakfast, usually scrambled eggs. Then a good balanced evening meal. That’s it.
@@funwithcalisthenics thats amazing and im not sure if there is a heavier guy no offense on here that muscles up even just once; so i got the impression from your rings tutorial you have some latent strength here? 💪
It takes a strong core to lift yourself from a sit down position with your legs straight out. I’m guessing you’re working your abs too? Side note: I do burpees with you and Chris Shawarma from your “burpee tips & workout” TH-cam video. I do them every other day as part of my routine workout, lol.
Hi, I do a little work on my core, but probably should do more. It is great to hear that you do burpees along with Chris and me, that is so awesome. It’s made my day to hear that. Chris really is a master of the burpee and I was so privileged to be able to spend that time with him. @ChrisShawarma
@@funwithcalisthenics hahaha it's kind of funny, when it's your turn to drop I drop too - it motovates me to have people to workout with. I'm up to 25 reps but I don't know about doing 150, lol.
@10speed4 what’s good about that video, is that we worked to my slower pace. So keep going, try and get a few more. It does help doing it with someone else though. If you are ever in the UK we could do it! 🤘😂🫣
Great! I have rings in my room, but there is no space for a muscle-up here. I can do 14 dips in a row, but I absolutely can't hold a false grip with my body weight. My forearms are weak for that. I am dreaming about the "impossible muscle-up," but for that, I would have to train iron cross. I can do only maybe 45 degrees into iron cross and hold that, but no more than that. I am 43, generally quite muscularly weaker.
Bonus points the voiceover, reminding me of any instructional video form the 80's 🤌 calm and clear. I find them tougher from the seated position. Do you do many at full stretch (hang)?
Hi, I’m pleased you like the new video style. I do them mainly from the seated position as that’s the height of my bar. Sometimes I hang the rings from a basket ball ring. But not too often.
@@funwithcalisthenics it's a good style. I have to go to the park to get a height for the rings, but I'm on the lookout for some sort of indoor place, with a beam, it's bizarre gyms don't have them available
@@funwithcalisthenics thanks for the tip, but nowhere near, possibly a 3 or 3 hour drive 😬 I should be more pro active looking locally... In fact, a climbing facility is an obvious and useful tip! They won't be funny about putting up rings, and will have height, unlike most strength gyms

Bill, you are very welcome, thanks for the comment.
Veey clear, simple, straightforward explanation.
Appreciate your comment. Thank you.
I'm 55 and I'm working to get the muscle up on the rings, so this video is perfect, thank you very much, you are a Warrior 😊👍👍👍👍
I’m pleased you have found it helpful.
Excellent video tutorial! I'm 48 and currently learning Handstands. Ring Muscle-Ups are next on my to-do list.
Как там со стойкой на руках?
Brilliant! Total inspiration
Pleased to hear it.

Good luck with your recovery, then start very slowly, with plenty of rests.. good luck and stay safe.
58 and inspired.. I am going to try you method starting from this afternoon. Thanks for sharing bro.🇹🇹
Love it!! Got rings 2 months ago, bought a set of bands 6 weeks ago...making progress!!
Great to hear. I really struggled in the early days getting used to the rings and bands. But stick with it, it will get easier.

Great tutorial, impressive strength for your age! 💪🏼
The band set up is very useful. This will help me train my false grip thanks for the video.

Thank you, for advice, ill be back after first ring muscle.up
Will look forward to that.

Great bro ❤❤❤❤.
Hope your mind is also as great
How can I train to transfare between the green and the purple? Nice video 👍🏻
Just mix it up, lots of practise and your body will adapt.
Thankyou Antony. Would you say this was easier or harder than the bar muscle up .
That’s a good question. Personally, I find the bar muscle up easier.

Hi Anthony, what rings do you use - thanks Mike
Hi Mike, they are branded as “5Billion”. If you look below in the description, there is a link to my Amazon StoreFront, where I have featured them.
Здравствуйте, я хотел спросить у вас, когда вы начали заниматься в 55 лет, в молодости у вас какие были результаты? Вы превысили свои старые результаты?
Hi, I didn’t start until I was in my early 50’s.
The main thing is to learn how to negotiate with our subconscious and everything will be fine👍
That is so true. That’s the challenge!
What do you mean with negotiate?
Would Love to hear more about it:)

I’m a believer!
So if you do this on a bar it will be easier? Can you do more muscle ups on a bar then rings? I can’t even do one on a bar
