  • In this video I show how I have built up my strength to go from 0 muscle-ups to 10+ reps and having the strength to do other variations like the slow muscle-up. I also show the technique for the muscle-up to make the exercise easier with timing and momentum.

    This is BY FAR the best muscle up tutorial that I've seen on the internet. I've been doing weighted pull ups with 15% of my body weight since a couple of weeks now and can do explosive pull ups too. However, I still wasn't able to do a muscle up, which for me is the coolest exercise out there and has been my goal. Will try to apply the cues you gave in this video. Thanks, man. Cheers!
