To be fair, while click-baity, Jeff delivers on the content of his video titles. This title was flat up misleading. Daniel's content is excellent, so I don't see why he went with this here. Possibly experimental?
Hey, great video! But there is one point, that you explained incomplete and a second, where I disagree: 1. Practising the explosive Pull Up is great for Muscle Up. The recommended amount of reps should be four to six. And also the number of sets should be around five and with a decent amount of pause time in between. 2. I highly disagree with the point, that resistance bands are a waste of time. I'm a big fan of the 5x5-program and it helped me also a lot with the Muscle Up by using the bands. After I had practiced the explosive Pull Ups a lot, I switched to the resistance bands. First I used the strongest band I could find and increased over the weeks the difficulty by changing the bands until I did not need any band at all. For every band I started with 4 reps times 5 sets increasing slowly the reps with every session. When I was able to do 6 reps x 5 sets I switched to the next weaker band. (a lot of "bands" in this text...) After I tried for years to achieve the Muscle Up, this was the way to finally get there. So I can definitely recommend it. Some final thoughts on that topic: a) I personally think, it is always better to practice a movement directly, but assisted, than to use other movement pattern, as long as the movement is executed correctly. b) The 5x5-program focuses on gaining maximum strength and muscle gains with the barbell, but it's principles can be transferred to callisthenics very well.
if you need years for a single muscle up you better sell those bands :P. . For me it feels naturally that explosive pull ups are the major key. just because you have to get over the bar quick. For sure its hard, but if you doin properly pull ups its not that great step, if you focus training on that exercise.
@@karlarsch1627 Aye Eiou got it correctly. I tried for years, but with the bands I achieved that goal i a few month. Also, I am quite a tall guy, making progression in calisthenic movements even harder.
Your quality is undeniable Daniel. Do not use clickbaits... The true calisthenics athletes we will always appreciate your work which is always gold, it doesn't matter what title you use for the vid
This is what I teach my athletes too, very important to train consciously and smart towards your goals, instead of just doing the movement itself without thinking. Great video man!
Man, I've seen a lot of videos of "how to do muscle up" and that's the DEFINITIVE VIDEO of how to do MU. This video provides all the necessary clues for getting the MU. Great work! 💪
I think the easiest way to learn it is to get a really thick band with which you can do the muscle up with ease. Then just progressively add weight while keeping the resistance band. You'll eventually build up enough strength to do a muscle up without a band and the technique will most likely be on point since you practiced it from the very beginning.
Hello Daniel, thanks for all you share with us... could you please make a video on general principles of correct diet for Calisthenics athletes? With examples of a week menu? I am a 57 yo athlete, I train with Calisthenics + weights (and also weighted Calisthenics sometimes). TIA
I had this issue when I first decided to dedicate time to training muscle ups. I got to a point where I could do 30 wide pull ups in a row. At my peak I was able to do 4x8 reps with a 20kg weight. But... I couldn't do a single muscle up. I didn't understand it. Training for for one arm pull ups on rings however meant that on my first attempt at a muscle up I sailed over the bar. Happy days!
I read the title thinking, ok... I'm not going to bother trying to master muscle-ups. After the video, oh it's a how to master video instead. Great content as always Dan, I've learned so much about how to do calisthenics correctly thanks to you 👍
A credit my ring muscle ups to you sir, the transition was the hardest, but with your video alone, I am now able to donand help others, thanks you ,God bless
Video is about improving muscle ups. Jump to 2:40 to 3:27. 1) Explosive pullups - step #1: aim to get chin above bar every single rep 2) Explosive pullups - step #2: bar to chest 3) Explosive pullups - step #3: bar to stomach
Daniel aka the truth always has the no bullshit approach! Thank you for putting out real information out there for people that need it. Tired of seeing people post rubbish tutorials 😴 aka Origins Nutrition
Awesome! Technique - and slow and steady NON-instagrat training works best. Thanks for posting this. Not going slow and steady progression is a sure-fire way to injury.
*DO NOT NEGLECT THE FRONT BAR DIPS!* I was able to do a few muscle ups back when my weight was at about 216-220 then decided to bulk during the winter and put on weight and kinda stopped worrying bout MU cuz I could do them. As my weight got up to 270 suddenly I couldn't get over the bar and figured it was my weight but then when I dropped the pounds again I still couldn't get over the bar, I was explosive enough but just couldn't hit that transition. Literally a few weeks ago I was training with this guy who told me to work on the front dips and I stayed consistent with it and by the next week I was doing a good 2-3 reps of muscle ups again and now gonna make sure I never lose it again only to get better at them.
@@georgepetrou501 it’s actually not that bad I got just enough room or try to get emergency exit row or something…any taller tho and I would hate it lol
Well, I agree with the title, so far Dan delivered what needs to be, he even added the "most common mistakes" which in my opinion is vital, for the individual to learn what he/she is doing wrong, from there he may use these drills and retest if there are changes. Thanks for this Vid Dan! Cheers! :)
Daniel Man i have to say that you're awesome KT person to find out which is suitable for our health at the end health is what we have to take care. thank you for video buddy and keep inspiring the world.
Should read: "Muscle Ups are 'Waist' of Time" (Do super high pullups that end in a full extension dip above the bar instead!) Awesome video, as always!
Salam alikum. I am Abdellatif from Algeria, a big fan of you and your TH-cam channel I have a question I have curve in the back Is there exercises help me to get a wonderful back ?? I ask you to answer me and I wish you success
Your form is absolutely perfect you must have been doing this from a very young age. If you haven't been doing it from a young age like you it's almost impossible starting when you reach middle age.
Theory about chicken wings is absolutely true. I have been stuck with chicken wings for nearly 2 years (no progress at all in that period). I will definitely use your training methods. Thankyou❤️
i can say its not an exercise to train but its just something that takes a lot of time to master and it makes it a challenge instead of a job or excercise you do to get bigger
Great video like always man. I need help with 2 things if anyone is willing to help 1) What are good exercises to help grip strength, and I mean I want like strong and firm grip strength. 2) With my explosive pull ups, I explode up but make sure I'm controlling it and go slow on the way down is that fine? Thank you!!!
@@getplenny So you mean do my normal dips, chin ups and pull ups using a fat grip? I like the idea but it'll effect the amount of reps I can do or do you think it's still worth it?
@baba yaga Whether it's worth it or not would depend on yourself man.. This is the same as like asking whether eating healthy is worth it or not if it means you'll have a hard time finding the healthy foods.. It definitely will benefit you in the long term as you'll gain grip strength but it depends on you whether or not you want to implement it if it means you'll have a decrease in performance ( at least for now ).. You'll slowly pick up where you're left off as you gain grip strength.. Or just bust up some reps with fat grip and superset that with your normal grip.. Does that make sense? I hope I don't come across as being arrogant haha.. Have fun training man.. :)
@@shangkuan5755 Yeah I see what you mean, don't worry your not arrogant or anything. Just want to improve my grip strength through other exercises and stuff. Any exercises you got for grip strength?
@@babayaga9266 what I did was use the FatGripz or towel for my back lever, front lever, or muscle up workout, and just use them until my hands gave up. Then I'd switch to the normal bar for the rest of the workout. It'll definitely affect your reps when you start, but like anything else you'll adapt and I think that training grip like this is the best way. I go through my full front lever workout with the extreme sized FatGripz now, when I could barely do 3 pullups with them when I first got them. Towels are great too for back lever to help protect your wrist (at least for me) and helps build killer grip

You'll eventually build up enough strength to do a muscle up without a band and the technique will most likely be on point since you practiced it from the very beginning.
Instead of adding weight I just use a smaller band and go slow on the negatives
1:48 Daniel you cant kip even when faking it! Lmao looks so unnatural
I think he is too strong for that kip movement lol
just like anything you dont practice
Saw that too lol

Best advice I've seen on rings muscle ups.
Yes, explosive pull ups, I can do 12 standard pull ups and bar dips but still can't do muscle ups, definitely gonna try this, thank you man.
brilliant video. not really for total beginners but brilliant. man you are fit! cheers
bro seriously awesome advise. I will work on explosiveness and dip variations for a while.
im beginning my journey into muscle up, i can do two to five "olimpic" muscle up, this gonna be a big improve, thanks Daniel. Greetings from Chile

When Daniel turns off the camera, I like to think he talks like Ozzyman.
The most important i believe is the explosive pull ups .If your abs touch the bar then transition is more easily to do.
