  • 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.

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!
