Could you do it before? I can do 30 clean pull ups and I can do explosive pull ups rly well but struggle with muscle ups even with resistance bands do you think if I try this out I'll get me first muscle up?
@@KnowledgeableServant I had done some when I was at university, about 10 years ago. I had tried it in a gym a few times recently, with no success. But then I found this video.. The concept of getting your hips to the bar instead of pulling yourself up was a game changer.
I was trying to do muscle up for about 3 months now Ive been told I need to get more muscles and exercise more but after seeing this video the ''like slaming the trunk of car'' thing helped me do 3 muscles ups in a row for the first time. Thank you very much for the technique.
This was the single best tip for me to finally get my first bar muscle up...I am a strict pull-up guy and I could not overcome my tendency to pull vertical... This tip is definitely the key...I practiced a few of the pull down movements you showed, and nailed my first muscle up in my first try...Thank you!
I have been working on all the usual prep work for a muscle-up (pull-ups, chest-to-bar pull-ups, dips, etc.) for the past 10 months. And still I could barely do one cranky muscle-up. After practicing the exercise shown in this video for just 2 days, I have done 3 muscle-ups in a row! Thank you so much!
I don't usually leave comments, but I'm so happy with results, and this video had exactly the right advice. Before watching, I couldn't do a muscle up. I watched the video, and tried the exercise at 3:00 minutes (to get a feel for which muscles should be doing the work). Afterwards, I did a muscle up on my first try! the "slamming the trunk lid" analogy is spot on. Great advice here, thanks!
I’m currently in a competition with a friend seeing who’ll do the first complete muscle up, with this I think there is no hope for him! Thanks for taking the time to create this easy to follow video! All the best for yours and your channels growth 😊
You're right, your tip is hardly ever stated, and it might be the key to actually accomplishing a muscle up when all else has failed. I'll try it later today, even in the 110 heat here in Las Vegas. Of course it doesn't help that I'm 77 years old and 15 lbs overweight, even though I used to be able to do hand stands on parallel bars in my 20s. I've been a moderate pull up and push up and weightlifting guy all my life, so while I'm not muscle bound, I have some muscle to work with. I'll let you know if your technique worked for me.
I watched lots of how-to videos & spent almost 2yrs working towards my first muscle-up. I finally managed to do my first muscle-up just a week or so after seeing this video. Since then I've used bands to help me do numerous muscle-ups in a row, and now I can do 3 to 5 in a row without bands depending on how rested I am. You tip was pretty well the missing link for me, thanks!
After 7 years in the gym doing bodybuilding and competing, i wanted something more and started calisthenic training at the parc and it is so nice to just...let yourself go breathing fresh air ^^
Dramis Kcor Thinking about doing the same. Years of bodybuilding gets old. Just gotta find me a park with a set of bars. At least my gym has some tools to train calisthenics
Hi there. I guess what you are describing is called a bar kip, which i can´t do anyways. That one is harder for me to figure out, even though it´s easier.
I've found that the key to muscle ups is that once you are in full extension at the bottom, hinge at the waist - and as you create that upward momentum - DRIVE YOUR KNEES up toward your chest as you come out of extension. Once I discovered that knee drive, I went from being unable to do a single muscle up to being able to do many in a row. I could do upwards of 30 standard pull ups, but I couldn't do a single muscle up until I figured that out. It really has less to do with lat strength and more to do with an efficient kinetic chain. In any case, thanks for another great video!
This is the only video that truly unlocked it for me. I started cracking off several in a row because I had plenty of strength but just didn't understand the movement. THANKS!
Finally a "side view" tutorial and some slo mo! I actually learned kipping muscle ups (which are awful) and I'm re learning them the proper way and this technique is something I thought might be the key before actually watching this tutorial. So I know I'm on the right path. Big thumbs up for this. Anyone like myself that can do at least 10 head over the bar pull ups and around 20 deep dips and still cant do "proper' muscle ups knows its not really about those movements.
This video will have many views because this is the best method. I was never able to do a muscle up no matter how hard i tried (or so i thought because i was using the wrong technique) Thanks to you i was able to finally do it for the first time.
Hey man , I think I saw this technique in one of the Thenx videos . I think Chris called them L - sit Pull Back which is one of the phases of the muscle up of his teaching method.Anyways good video , thanks for the info.
@@scythe2051 it's not the same. chris explains you have to be able to do other many excercises, including ab excercises. this guy says the only key is the excercise he explains
The 'closing trunk' example was golden! Also, showing how that visually looks while on the bar. I believe that info above was the missing link. I now have a foundation to build.
I was doing this for reps before and thought I was wasting my time but I knew my body was totally beat afterwards. This move is hard. Thanks for the tip! I'll keep doing these.
Yup. Seen plenty of people recommend this. Many in the Calisthenics community and some of the strength training community suggest a lat pulldown type of movement. Honestly though, what many don’t suggest is using resistance bands and activating your core. I was able to complete my first muscle up after using a green resistance band for assistance. This gave me that extra burst of momentum to propel myself above the bar so that I could focus more on the transition aspect of the exercise which in my opinion is the most difficult part of the exercise. It’s all about the technique and using resistance bands help ingrain that transitional movement into your muscle memory.
The reason why it’s so hard and so effective is hypertrophic stretching: you’re moving in the toughest part of the progression, and you stimulate your lats at their max level of stretch. Great video thanks!
wow...weird..never been first for a video... I like your videos dude, keep it up. Havent had time to see this one yet but been learning to muscle up so probably will help ;) :D
I just got my first muscle up with a kip because I need to understand the motion better before I will be able to do it at my bodyweight but I'm very glad that motion you showed to train the muscle up motion is what ive been doing kind of intuitively and Im glad it's actually useful
bro totally love u ... love the info u tell us.. am 14 yrs old with a bit of strength interested in calisthenics .. can u pls make a beginners guide with all the things to do and not do including sets and reps and why exactly those numbers?.. thanks :)
just start with the basics :D then u get enough strength to do more and different movements - in case he doesnt want to make a video on how to basics, watch thenx - all i can do now i learned from chris heria from thenx
Good video. Muscle-up is the mysterious, wonderful and uncatchable woman that we are all trying to reach thinking it is impossible... since we get it ! And when we got it and have trained some weeks to do it better, then it seems so easy... For me, the secret is just the way we have to "open the shoulders" when we have finished to go frontward, just before starting the pull-up when going backward. Then we just have to help the pull-up by using the momentum with the knees (or straight legs when the movement is more mastered). The strength in doing x pull-ups or x dips is not the "key" as so much tutorial seem to say it. I would say muscle-up is a matter of : 80% technique - and just 20% strength.
I recently reached adequate strenght and have been attempting muscle ups for 2 weeks now. Just today I was experimenting and discovered the importance of core involvement, your video came in just the perfect time to validate my discovery. I'll update on my next attempt.
Its insane, u need to get good wrist strength for false grip, but no kipping at all explosive muscle up is slightly harder, tho if we talk without false grip then its even harder, always a room to improve!
I can do 20 bodyweight pullups a set...20 dips ber set I did my first muscle up using this technique in less than half an hour...i have never even tried it in my life...i am 56 years old..This was an awesome ego-boost move THANKS!!
When I first learned I did it by doing it the explosive pull up style, it I was only able to do two. But this will help me Teach my friend because he's trying to learn and I'm a bad teacher.
that movement truly is the best tip hands down. Iv seen that Kali vid as well, maybe I forgot but it wasn't till your vid that made it click for me. Iv added this motion into my upper body straight bar workout routine. Highly recommended, it really is the secret no one talks about. Thanks
What are your thoughts on using an L-sit pull back to help with muscle ups? That's the way Chris Heria from ThenX teaches a muscle up. Looking at your form, you do seem to go into a bit of an L-sit pull back. Chris Heria seems to exaggerate the movement alot more.
Great tip, this is definitely the missing link for me. I´ve seen this elsewhere but not the "why" which you explain and show so well. I'll post here again when I master my first muscle up :)
Chriss Smith If you can do that many pullups all you need to do you is to practice explosive pull ups.So,do a very fast (explosive)pull ups and bring the bar as close to the chest ass possible.
I do 17 to 20 pullups but can do up to 10 muscle ups. There is no straight corellation between both. Try to pull up straightly to the stomach level, not to the chest, also use your knees for momentum. Sorry for my bad English.
I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ” (Philippians 1:6).This goes for everyone do you guys know about Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior
Thanks! I've seen a dozen of UA-cam videos and strength tutorials on how to do the muscle up and what you're missing on being able to do a muscle up. It all comes down to doing all kinds of extra strength exercises, which I thought "that can't be the thing that's missing". I can pull-ups no problem. The same goes for my dips. They're both super easy to me. But I just couldn't get that transition right. I'll be training that "slam the trunk" exercise, from now on! Thanks, again! 🥳🥳
Dude thank you so much!!! Watch like 10 videos been trying to do a muscle up for a month now. Watched your video, went to the gym and did it in 5 minutes. This is awesome thank you
I do CrossFit and am practicing to do my first muscle up. If you are doing it using a kipping motion i.e. not static, doing a lever arch where you keep your arms straight is the way they teach us at my box. This means that you are using less arm strength and exploiting the momentum from the kip swing to bring yourself up. This is probably why the pull ups and tricep dips didn't help much. I'm still working on my first one, but feel i now have the knowledge to get it done! Thanks for the vid!
Hey Simnet.. ive been trying to get my muscle ups for almost a year now.. and yes this tip helped me get my first 2 muscleups in less than 1 month today.. thank you 💪
Funny to see the "wrong way" to do it because a few years ago I did the struggle up (to muscle up) and I actually gave myself an umbilical hernia. Had surgery to repair in it and a few month later it came out again, second surgery done (with a mesh the second time) and now a year or so later it's holding well. I will never again do a "struggle up" and am going to try these techniques ASAP. Thanks again Derek! You really do make it look EASY, but I know it's not. Keep up the good work!
I was expecting to see a tip that I'd seen before repeated again... But this is actually new to me and I have been helping friends learn muscle ups for years now. I can do 10 but could never teach somebody to do it quickly. Need to implement this! Just wow
I accidentally discovered this 2 weeks ago when a 10 year old challenged me to one. I had never done one before but somehow went with straight arms and got into a muscle up with no fuss. I have been doing calisthenics for a whole year and have been working on every muscle including being able to do Front Lever holds for 10 seconds so I was wondering why I couldn't get the muscle up. You make it very clear why I got it and now I will practice this more. Thanks so much.
I can hardly do this muscle up exercise though i tried many times. Now that you gave me the way to approach these pull ups I'm gonna practise! Thanks a lot for your generosity!
Watched so many videos and couldn't get it for months. Watched this on Friday evening before taking the weekend off to rest, Monday morning 8am at the gym, first muscle ups achieved, 5 in a row +5 dips on the 5th. Excellent information and it worked, slight swing forward and then slam that car bonnet just as your swinging back 🔥
Slamming a car boot was a great analogy. Watched so many videos describing the technique but couldnt quite put it together in my head until I heard that. Practicing this tonight 👍
Thanks man for this video, Kali Muscles really earn my respect to be able to do muscle ups as such a big man. I had never done a single muscle ups & still haven't been able to yet, but after your useful tip will start practicing with the way Kali did also for you.
I am 58 years old and have never done a muscle up. I will try this technique and see if it helps. You did a great job explaining and demonstrating the mechanics. I have given up time after time. Maybe this is it.
your vid is great. i think for all of us who can't do one now, it's all a matter of keep trying till we get the "AHA" moment. to me muscle up is way more with techniques & timing than strength. especially the first one. once we get "it" us newbies can then work on those slow magical ones that we actually wanna do.
This video by far makes more sense than any other video I've seen on UA-cam about explaining muscle-ups. I have a pull-up bar in my backyard, I got excited and walked out during this video to try this technique. It's HARD af 😂 You make it look easy. But I will surely keep trying. I'm 48 and just got back from the gym. Maybe after I recover I'd do a better job.
@@rikeshnathoo7756 nope 😂 I only went to the gym twice since then, and got occupied with work. But it’s the first thing on my bucket list now and I will definitely update when/if that ever happens:) thanks for checking bro
you might be actually right!, i have been practicing calisthenics for 12 months and i just managed to do the Front lever because i find the bar muscle up a little dangerous on the wrist but now seeing you doing this i might actually try the different approach which looks more safe! Thx for sharing
That was a good explanation for bodybuilders, because we have trained to do pull ups and chin ups for back muscles, that's why we think the muscle up is sort of such exercises so we fail in it. Ah BTW the first move you're doing instead of doing a pull up is called the cable Pullover exercise, it targets the mid lats. Then it comes the dips exercise in the end. For a bodybuilder I think he may lack of the technique but not the strength to execute the movement.
Thanks bro, no one else has explained it like this. Been working on pull ups for about a year and couldnt figure out why i could only get chest to bar. Now I know🤙🏾
this is how i learned to do muscle ups too. a crossfit friend taught me this technique and i thought it was common knowledge, but apparently it doesn't even have a name(or i could not find it), and it's not a conventional way how gymnasts train muscle ups. the only difference in how i learned is that i tried to get as high up during each swing as I could and I only started to try to transition into a pull once I comfortably got my arms about horizontal.
I literally watched this video whilst walking to the park. Then did a muscle up within 5 mins. Thanks 😊
Get it!

Yeah, the key when doing kipping muscle up is you kick to get backward not to get upward
What's the point in doing a muscle up like that? Might as well do a starting jump at that point.

that movement truly is the best tip hands down. Iv seen that Kali vid as well, maybe I forgot but it wasn't till your vid that made it click for me. Iv added this motion into my upper body straight bar workout routine. Highly recommended, it really is the secret no one talks about. Thanks
What are your thoughts on using an L-sit pull back to help with muscle ups? That's the way Chris Heria from ThenX teaches a muscle up. Looking at your form, you do seem to go into a bit of an L-sit pull back. Chris Heria seems to exaggerate the movement alot more.
This is exactly what he does, actually.
heria is telling people how to do it with momentum basically for begginers.he otherwise does them correctly
Great tip, this is definitely the missing link for me. I´ve seen this elsewhere but not the "why" which you explain and show so well. I'll post here again when I master my first muscle up :)
Iam 1.92m long and my weight is 92kg and I can do about 15-20 pull ups but I can't do muscle up help !!!
Chriss Smith If you can do that many pullups all you need to do you is to practice explosive pull ups.So,do a very fast (explosive)pull ups and bring the bar as close to the chest ass possible.
Wow good work! Work on straight bar dips as well.
I do 17 to 20 pullups but can do up to 10 muscle ups. There is no straight corellation between both.
Try to pull up straightly to the stomach level, not to the chest, also use your knees for momentum. Sorry for my bad English.
Алексей Кастевич both numbers are really good, man. Congrats on the hard work!
Lander Hendrickx thank you very much but I just wanted to show that it is not nessesary to do lots of pullups to learn a muscle up.
Great post, Derek. I thought the same thing when I saw the Kali Muscle video. You’re right, no one else is talking about this.
HAha, he can't even bend his arms so he must do it like this. It sure helped to exaggerate the movement though.
I wish rich piana did muscleups instead of drugging up himself
I've been doing crossfit for 3 months now and this is the best advice I've heard yet on the mup
I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ” (Philippians 1:6).This goes for everyone do you guys know about Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior
God doesnt exist.
@@4c6f can I ask you why you don’t believe in God
@@icy1806 Ive read bible too many times to know its full of shit.
@@4c6fyou have certainly shown that you are. I’m not so sure about the Bible
@@daveleeander Read the bible then. Christians constanly bring up their religion everywhere but nobody actually reads the bible.
#1 Well deserved, very important tip👍🏼bless🙂
This was by far the best advice I ever took for the muscle up progression. Thank you.
Thanks! I've seen a dozen of UA-cam videos and strength tutorials on how to do the muscle up and what you're missing on being able to do a muscle up. It all comes down to doing all kinds of extra strength exercises, which I thought "that can't be the thing that's missing". I can pull-ups no problem. The same goes for my dips. They're both super easy to me. But I just couldn't get that transition right. I'll be training that "slam the trunk" exercise, from now on! Thanks, again! 🥳🥳
I'm so gonna try this out. As for now I'm still chickening (as you said in your video) through my MUs. I will definately keep you up to date!
Dude thank you so much!!! Watch like 10 videos been trying to do a muscle up for a month now. Watched your video, went to the gym and did it in 5 minutes. This is awesome thank you
I do CrossFit and am practicing to do my first muscle up. If you are doing it using a kipping motion i.e. not static, doing a lever arch where you keep your arms straight is the way they teach us at my box. This means that you are using less arm strength and exploiting the momentum from the kip swing to bring yourself up. This is probably why the pull ups and tricep dips didn't help much. I'm still working on my first one, but feel i now have the knowledge to get it done! Thanks for the vid!
Hey Simnet.. ive been trying to get my muscle ups for almost a year now.. and yes this tip helped me get my first 2 muscleups in less than 1 month today.. thank you 💪
Thanks for the tip! I realize this is an ambitious goal, but I like to swing for the fence👍 Long way to go.
Funny to see the "wrong way" to do it because a few years ago I did the struggle up (to muscle up) and I actually gave myself an umbilical hernia. Had surgery to repair in it and a few month later it came out again, second surgery done (with a mesh the second time) and now a year or so later it's holding well. I will never again do a "struggle up" and am going to try these techniques ASAP. Thanks again Derek! You really do make it look EASY, but I know it's not. Keep up the good work!
I’ve watched a lot of videos on this & yours was one of the best! A new tip I haven’t heard yet. Thank you Short and to the point too.
This is the first place I've seen this tip. Makes lots of sense will incorporate into my training to get my muscle up.
I was expecting to see a tip that I'd seen before repeated again... But this is actually new to me and I have been helping friends learn muscle ups for years now. I can do 10 but could never teach somebody to do it quickly. Need to implement this! Just wow
I accidentally discovered this 2 weeks ago when a 10 year old challenged me to one. I had never done one before but somehow went with straight arms and got into a muscle up with no fuss. I have been doing calisthenics for a whole year and have been working on every muscle including being able to do Front Lever holds for 10 seconds so I was wondering why I couldn't get the muscle up. You make it very clear why I got it and now I will practice this more. Thanks so much.
I can hardly do this muscle up exercise though i tried many times.
Now that you gave me the way to approach these pull ups I'm gonna practise!
Thanks a lot for your generosity!
Very useful. I've never seen so accurate and short tip about pull ups at the same time.
You and barstarz are the only ones I've seen clarify this! (there may be others but I have not watched them)
Watched so many videos and couldn't get it for months. Watched this on Friday evening before taking the weekend off to rest, Monday morning 8am at the gym, first muscle ups achieved, 5 in a row +5 dips on the 5th. Excellent information and it worked, slight swing forward and then slam that car bonnet just as your swinging back 🔥
Slamming a car boot was a great analogy. Watched so many videos describing the technique but couldnt quite put it together in my head until I heard that. Practicing this tonight 👍
Thanks man for this video, Kali Muscles really earn my respect to be able to do muscle ups as such a big man. I had never done a single muscle ups & still haven't been able to yet, but after your useful tip will start practicing with the way Kali did also for you.
I am 58 years old and have never done a muscle up. I will try this technique and see if it helps. You did a great job explaining and demonstrating the mechanics. I have given up time after time. Maybe this is it.
your vid is great. i think for all of us who can't do one now, it's all a matter of keep trying till we get the "AHA" moment. to me muscle up is way more with techniques & timing than strength. especially the first one. once we get "it" us newbies can then work on those slow magical ones that we actually wanna do.
This video by far makes more sense than any other video I've seen on UA-cam about explaining muscle-ups. I have a pull-up bar in my backyard, I got excited and walked out during this video to try this technique. It's HARD af 😂 You make it look easy. But I will surely keep trying. I'm 48 and just got back from the gym. Maybe after I recover I'd do a better job.
any progress on the muscle up bro?
@@rikeshnathoo7756 nope 😂 I only went to the gym twice since then, and got occupied with work. But it’s the first thing on my bucket list now and I will definitely update when/if that ever happens:) thanks for checking bro
It worked the first time 15 minutes after watching this !
Thanks a lot !!!
First time seeing this tip. This is Definitely the missing link between Weighted pull-ups and Muscle-ups Thanks for sharing
I can't wait to try this... I'll keep you updated.
Did you get it?!?!
This is a really great breakdown of technique. Thank you for this video
You’re welcome! You’ve got this. Also think about getting elbows out in front of the rather than out to the side like regular pull-ups.
you might be actually right!, i have been practicing calisthenics for 12 months and i just managed to do the Front lever because i find the bar muscle up a little dangerous on the wrist but now seeing you doing this i might actually try the different approach which looks more safe! Thx for sharing
That was a good explanation for bodybuilders, because we have trained to do pull ups and chin ups for back muscles, that's why we think the muscle up is sort of such exercises so we fail in it. Ah BTW the first move you're doing instead of doing a pull up is called the cable Pullover exercise, it targets the mid lats. Then it comes the dips exercise in the end. For a bodybuilder I think he may lack of the technique but not the strength to execute the movement.
Video and tip are just great. The movement is exactly how you’ve explained.
"Slammin´ the trunk of a car" really gave me a good feel for the movement and the rest was awesome too. Thanks.
Great tip... I tried yesterday and you are right, it is not easy. I can’t do a muscle up yet but I feel this will help for sure. Will keep training.
The best tip I got is it should feel like a lat sweep, that tip changed my life
Thanks brother.. this definitely looks like the missing link most people fail to point out.
Thanks bro, no one else has explained it like this. Been working on pull ups for about a year and couldnt figure out why i could only get chest to bar. Now I know🤙🏾
this is how i learned to do muscle ups too. a crossfit friend taught me this technique and i thought it was common knowledge, but apparently it doesn't even have a name(or i could not find it), and it's not a conventional way how gymnasts train muscle ups.
the only difference in how i learned is that i tried to get as high up during each swing as I could and I only started to try to transition into a pull once I comfortably got my arms about horizontal.
