    When I finally got my first bar muscle up it was with exactly what fitness FAQ said...Explosive, high pull ups for low reps 6-9 sets with LOTS of rest in between each set. Even 5 minutes. Great Vid Daniel, spot on as usual.

    Just get my first Muscle-up today. Perfection will kill your progress horribly. I tried to do MU as clean as possible, no kipping, no bands, and I plateaued for months.
    One dude at the gym tells me to just kip it, you don’t need to be perfect at the beginning.
    Done kipping MU and feel FREAKING good right after that! That’s a small milestone will keep you continue to train and to get better.

    One key I noticed for a good strong muscle up as well is grip and forearms. A lot of your explosive strength comes from your forearms. So doing weighted dead hangs and one arm dead hangs is goong to help a TON.

      Weak grip can definitely bottleneck pulling performance. Weighted two arm hangs / single arm hangs are helpful.

    I'd argue band assisted muscle-ups are actually one of the best ways to progress one's muscle-up ability. Yes they help less at the top of the movement and the transition is indeed the difficult part for most people. But like your next point aptly pointed out, the easiest way to transition once at the top is if you have left over momentum from a rapid ascent in the pull-up part of the movement. My point being that the bands help you get up much faster in the pull up and allow you to have some momentum left for the transition.

    • @FitnessFAQs
      @FitnessFAQs  3 місяці тому +3

      This is where science vs practicality matters. We can appraise band muscle-ups all we want but the truth is, they are a good drill when used alongside the basics (weighted pull-ups, explosive pull-ups etc)

    1:20 opposite logic also works for using bands:
    more support at the range of motion you don't need to train, so you don't waste energy. And less support at the harder part of the range of motion for the training effect. 🤓
    So pull with bands could be better then the real pullup 😮 😉😉😉

    🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
    00:00 🏋️ *Bar muscle-ups combine pull-up and dip motions, requiring both pulling power and pushing strength.*
    00:25 💪 *Beginners can use some "kip" for technique, but aim to minimize it over time for better muscle-up mastery.*
    01:23 🏋️‍♂️ *Banded muscle-ups are valuable for beginners to refine muscle-up technique and motor control.*
    02:20 🚀 *Explosive pull-ups are crucial for developing the power needed for muscle-ups.*
    03:39 🏋️‍♂️ *Consider practicing half muscle-ups to target the most challenging parts and specialize your training.*
    04:33 🏋️‍♂️ *Weighted pull-ups and negatives are effective methods to build strength for muscle-ups and improve force production.*

    • @victorstreet
      @victorstreet 3 місяці тому +1

      Not really no. The Clean and jerk requires you to do a explosive upright row and land the bar on your shoulder, and then squat it up. This will train the traps and the legs well. But those arent the muscles used in muscle ups, so you are better off training pullups, explosive pullups and ofcourse dips

    I have a question. I can do a muscle with kipping (more than one actually) but can't do one without kipping and overall I am not that good at the exercise. I want to build my body balanced and although I don't specifically have any goals related to muscle up (just being able to do one was kinda enough), should I incorporate some kind of explosive movement like muscle up or high pull-ups?
    There was actually a time where i did high pull-ups but didn't saw an improvement and the exercise feels sloppy, same with muscle-ups. I can add it again and practice the technique but yeah... Would be great to get some advice on this. Thank you.

    I do sets of: 10-11x unweight pullups; 5-6 20KG-weighted pullups; and 10x 20KG-weighted dips.
    What should I do now to finally achieve the muscle-ups?
    Should I focus on the rubber band muscle ups for mind-body connection or is it better to focus on band pushdowns, tricep extensions or extended raises for strength?

      I'm with you! In PUs, I was up at sets of 17 reps unweighted. Weighted sets I could do 3 sets x 10 reps with +30kg (36%BW) - dips too, both parallel and straight bar, and still could not do an unassisted MU. I've been stuck for months, despite doing assited MUs 2x/wk (in between other stuff). I got ONE clean, no-kip rep about a month ago and haven't been able to repeat it since. I'm thinking it must be bad technique - and yet I'm consistently applying the "best of" tips I've picked up from various channels on YT. I know my grip isn't false enough, but there must be more to it?

  • @sabotagedgamerz
    @sabotagedgamerz 3 місяці тому

    I disagree with this advice. Saying the muscle up is composed of the pull up, transition, and dip, is like saying the clean and jerk is composed of a deadlift, a transition, and a jerk. Secondly, I greatly suggest inverted rows. I trained pull ups and lots of weird muscle up exercises but never got it. However, when I spent 3 months focusing on inverted row strength, I attempted a muscle up and boom instantly. No weight pull ups or negatives or specificity needed, simply just mastery of the basic.
