Keeping those flip-flops on is a skill of its own.
Haha it’s actually pretty easy!
How is that even hard.. lol 😂 maybe in the beginning.. but it's like my muscles remember to hold them on.
I challenged myself to the limit and did 100 MUSCLE UPS a day for just 10 days. And the results were absolutely crazy! Check it out!
you aren't "average guy" you are a climber geek legend
I feel pretty average when I walk into the gym and see all those strong people doing their climbs and workouts 😆.
He is pretty average
Haglar That’s true 😀
@@rockyboimedia No he's not. He's light and strong. Average is fat and flabby.
True
The fact that you tried and committed yourself without giving up for 30 days makes you a winner.
I almost wanted to give up. It was Mike Boyd’s video that kept me going at it.
You sound like my mom.
@@yasminaburger1957 maybe he is
The fact that he succeeded also plays a factor

I wish it wasn’t 2am, I wish I was at the gym rn trying this

I gain lot of weight and can't even do a pull up😅

3 days ago i was able to perform my first muscle up! You won't believe how awesome that moment was! I tried for more than 3 years! And then one day suddenly i tried and was able to do it! My hand was shaking, my heart was beating like i have been doing sprinting! Go for it guys! Muscle up will unlock a new level to your workout!
Huge congrats bro! I can totally relate to your joy! It was truly a magical feeling when I got myself up the bar.
Why it took so long ? Not training correctly ? I want to do them too !! Training hard now
CARL WongTW i was able to make a muscle up after 2 weeks. Now i make 6-10 in a row. I don‘t know what this dude was doing for 3 years but it‘s not that hard. U just have to be patient and u will easily be able to make a muscle up
BRO YOU BOOSTED MY MOTIVATION!! 💪
Been doing muscle ups for awhile, although i've been struggling to do them consecutively. For whatever reason i just can't manage to do more than one even though i've had occassions where i have done 2 or 3 in a row. I know i have the strength so i've just been focusing really hard on what i can do mechanically to be able to do reps and sets of muscle ups. I agree with both of you guys, most people never feel what it's like to be ABOVE the bar, but once you finally manage your first muscle up you feel so incredible and just want to throw your hands in the air... except you can't 😂 It really does make you feel like you're on top of the world.
Anyway i'm still on my muscle up journey to figuring out how to do them consecutively hence why i found this video. That said i've not found a single video with tips on how to link together muscle ups, only videos on how to do them in general. So my journey continues to figure out the secret to consecutive muscle ups
A climber isn’t the average guy because you already have forearm strength and grip strength from all the climbing
Oh Yeah Yeah warrior level 967 true, I’m just a teenager and after watching an abundance of tutorial videos on the muscle up I managed to get it at somewhere between a month and a half and two months, admittedly there is still a slight kip but it’s possible with determination, eating right, and doing progressions properly
My physical talent is way below average. Almost everyone can’t believe that I can only climbing V6s after 10+ years. I bet for most people if they put in the same amount of time in fitness like I did they would be way better than me.
True
message from illuminati : STAY WHERE YOU ARE!!!
I cant listen to shit youre gonna say cause your name sorry dawg
Dude your enthusiasm is so fun to watch, i love it
Glad you like the video man! I am always excited when I achieve a goal that I set for myself!
"Your emthusiasm is so fun, I love it" ~Lil pump
Bryce Hartman Totally agree. Subbed you dude. Love your enthusiasm. 😁
4:25 was the best part
Seeing you accomplish your goal put a huge smile on my face. Fantastic job!!!
I still remember the moment when I first made it haha. Truly an unforgettable moment for me!
You're so genuine man, love the excitement
You could have hit 4 without the sandals on lol
Bro these sandals are from adidas. They give him slav power

Yea but that’s LEG power
😆😆🤣🤣 I like my massage slippers haha. It hurts to land barefooted!
Lol :D

The hardest thing here is to keep dressed with Flip Flops while Muscle Up
Yep, Shot mine straight through the garden yesterday while training :D
I would probably end up with cramps in my foot whilst attempting to keep them on.
😆😆😆 My flip flops never flew off when I attempted the muscle up, so it’s not hard at all to do it with flip flops.
it's comfortable especially when ur asian like me
1000 likes yay
I love your videos, these are a lot of movements I've been trying to go, and your breakdown and tweaks you find are exactly what I've been searching for. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Insane vid bro keep it up loved it
You aren't allowed to have open toed shoes in the weight room. I'm calling the police.
I want the President of the United States on the line right now.
Nah that’s a climbing gym instead of a traditional weight room.
It's only lightly suggested at Mesa Rim, I usually go no shoes there.
I dont wear any shoes in the gym
Honestly that rule is funny to me because I have never understood how a shoe will save your toes from, say, a 45 plate lol
Great video! I am also trying this with such poor results until now! Thanks 4 this :)
Glad the video helped! Congrats on the progress!
A year since writing this comment 😼 are you able to do it now?
I challenged myself to the limit and did 100 MUSCLE UPS a day for just 10 days. And the results were absolutely crazy! Check it out!
Remember he took 35 days just for this. an average person would give up. So the trick to do anything is not to give up.
ya perseverance is the key for success :)
The way you made the video is too creative and funny, I enjoyed watching it and you inspired me to work more and more to reach more levels in my workout exercices.
Glad you like the video man! Definitely go for the harder workouts! I still remember the moment when I first successfully did the muscle-up!
Your channel hasn't just inspired me to give climbing a go, but just tackle any goal in life. Thanks, keep up the great content!
Glad you like my channel! Comments like yours are one of my biggest motivations to keep on making videos!
Cool video. The simplicity of the video, the goal setting to something you want to be able to do, the work you put into it and the progress and result are great. Thanks for this video
Glad you like the video. There were a few days when I thought the set goal was too hard to achieve. I was so happy when I finally did it!
i really enjoyed seeing you succeed after you struggles congrats man well done!
Haha I still remember the moment when I successfully did my first muscle-up. It’s an unforgettable moment for me!
Very inspirational man!! Well done.
Very inspiring! I didn't realize how much I loved these 30+ day progress videos.
Glad you like the video! This kind of video requires more effort, but it always feels good when the target goal is achieved!
You are more inspiring than any proffessional ive seen...
good on yah bro ✊💪
Haha I don’t think the pros struggle as much as I do 😆. Glad you find my videos inspiring man.
Great job! Love the journey to success!
I love how 35 days on youtube is just under 5 minutes XD feels so easy to do it lol
Haha 35 days is actually not that bad. Time flies really fast!
@@GeekClimber Its been 1 year ago when u said that, Imagine that!
I challenged myself to the limit and did 100 MUSCLE UPS a day for just 10 days. And the results were absolutely crazy! Check it out!
This video is absolutely ingenious, fantastic logical analysis totally to the point. One of the best videos I've seen in years.
Glad you like the video man! I am working on my third training goal now so stay tuned!
Love the video and your enthusiasm! I’m inspired to finally get a muscle up too now 👊😛💥
Go for it dude! You got this!
You are always an inspiration ! Keep up the great work !
Glad you find my videos inspiring. More of them to come!
I’m so happy you’ve accomplished these goals!!!!!!!! You’ve inspired me to do the same thing
Definitely go for it! The way I did it has to be the easiest way to do it. Good luck!
Good job man! I'm so inspired
Thanks! It felt so amazing when I finally did it!
Great video!Just did my first one yesterday. looking forward to the progression
Great job dude! I am working on the non kipping version but it might take me a while to get it.
I do believe it really is a getting a feel for it. Today I walked into the gym did five of them! Unfortunately my gym does not have a straight bar so I'm using a slightly angled variation which I learned is dangerous. So I will be heading to Home Depot to build my own bar in the backyard. I will continue to train this until I can perform at least 10 strict muscle ups. After that,being able to hang on a 10-foot rim @ 5'9" and 500 lb deadlift. Still got a lot of work to do but setting goals and accomplishing them, it's probably one of the best feelings you can give yourself. keep up the great work man!! looking forward to the progress
Pure dedication, no matter the circumstances💆🏾♂️!
Ty for posting this!!!
why would you ever wear slippers, I feel like unconsciously you try to move your feet in a way the slippers don't fall off, not fully focusing on your workout
If you got use to it you Unconsously grip it and won't be a bother
@@MyOnlyCommentIs I know because I wear slippers every single day whenever I'm home. In certain situations I take them off
Its in the asian blood
@@cia9315 true, everyday & most of my life using slippers.. Filipino btw.
@@Magerquark you mean "subconsciously" not "unconsciously".
You are already so strong doing pull ups with ease.
Haha you could be right but whenever I walk into a gym, I see so many strong people doing crazy workouts.
@@GeekClimber Remember this is a move that is part skill based and part power to bodyweight based. As a climber you have already honed your strength to master YOUR bodyweight. Your power to bodyweight ratio is excellent. What you can achieve on a wall is well beyond what an average Joe could achieve. Walk down the street an look at the average dude. I am in my late 40s 90kg and 6 ft 3 inches, I could barely do a pull up a year ago, I have had to train my ass off to hit 15. You can easily do 10. You have super low body fat and you have great pulling power. However credit to you for hitting your goal, it wasn't easy and the pain was real. Big respect.
It still takes a while to get the form down and everything for sure though! I can do 25 straight pull ups but I’m still working on good muscle up form
Learning History probably both
baz hennessy You can be that disrepectful only behind ur screen, fcking clown
Awesome video, i was laughing and getting inspired for mostly of it, thx for sharing.
You're such an inspiration. I've been doing a lot of bodyweight training recently, and being able to do 30 pull-ups but no muscle up was really making me rethink how strong I actually was. I've never watched any of your videos before, but seeing you overcome this obstacle while wanting to give up made me smile.
Tf 30 pull ups and no muscle up? Hows that possible
@@gabriellu5463 6 months ago I was mainly just training solely muscle endurance, so I was able to do 30 pullups in full range of motion and a lot of high rep sets. I didn't really know the technique for the muscle-up and I wasn't really lifting anything heavy or doing anything explosive. I've started doing weighted chin-ups since then, but if you're wondering, I was finally able to do my first muscle up about a month after I wrote this comment.
@@Pantrixo Oh i see congratulations on your muscle up though!!
Great job man, i'm also working towards muscle ups inspired by ironically both magnus and mike so you're video has added fuel to the fire!! I've only recently started general exercise having lost over 5st in weight in the last year, mainly through nutritional changes and lots of walking/swimming, but i've got my pull up bar installed, can do about 4 pull ups so far and hope to have muscle ups down before the end of next month :)
Go for it dude! I am sure you can do it if you continue to work on it! It’s all about being persistent!
Dude thanx for unlocking the secret for me. Literally just did my first real one after a year due to u pointing out bringing up ur knees. Much appreciate it
Holy sheet!!!! I just managed to do my first muscle up after reading this! Damn. Thanks mate
Great video and great accomplishment!!
Well done! I loved watching this video!
Glad you like the video! It's all about the dedication!
Goes to show you keep pushing forward and never give up
Yes! It's all about the dedication and being persistent!
At work taking lunch at my desk and started clapping when he did it. In my mind yelling “F*** Yes!”
Proud of ya brother Haha :D
Glad that you felt my excitement! I was so happy when I finally did it!
SAME LOL
Great job man! You are inspirational !
Thank you 🙏🏼 so much bro. You just shown what I needed. I saw those same video but you really did awesome 👏.
Plot twist
This whole video was just a sponsor for Mike Boyd.
I wish Mike actually paid me for this video haha.
Omg you replied!! :D
Great video! Maybe I should give the muscle up one more chance :D Congrats on the progression man, really inspiring.
Go for it dude! If you focus on it and be persistent I am sure you can get it!
Great video man! 👌🏻 keep it up
Legend! Love the honesty and the determination to make it 🙂
I learned more from this video on muscle ups than any other! Good stuff
Yeah this is a great tutorial all on its own lol.
True
Haha there are so many variants of muscle ups and all the experts make them look so easy. The way I did it probably requires the least strength to do it 😆.
The Lion of Judah 😆👍🏼
try this first ua-cam.com/video/BZU2oy9L4DU/v-deo.html once you do super high pull ups you eventually do a muscle up without realizing it like i did lol
nice work brah, go on interesting content.
srsly greetz from germany
So awesome to know that I have viewers from Germany! Glad you like the video man!
Honestly these are so mind opening for techniques, i love these videos
Just came here to say that I did my first muscle up today after watching your video many times and practicing a lot. Thank you! ❤
You’re awesome man! 35 days, same exercise. That’s dedication. Keep it up!
I knew I had to focus on it if I wanted to get results. I am so glad that it paid off!
nobody:
him: “yusss
yusss
yusss”
lol have a nice day
you love to see it
I love your videos man! Very interesting content! Thank you 'cause I learn a lot! Congrats for the channel
Dude your video was the best tutorial to me by far on UA-cam, yesterday was my first time doing my muscle ups and it’s all thanks to your video 👍🏽💯
BE WATER MY FRIEND Congratulations! :)
Huge congrats!! That’s amazing! Glad that my video helped you!
Freaking beautiful, man. You're my inspiration.
Glad you find the video inspiring! Best of luck on your fitness journey!
Respect from Australia! I'm doing same muscle up challenge like you. I was aiming at reaching 15 reps in a row. But I think you gave me a short cut to archive it. I currently can do 12 pullups in a row and 20 push-ups at a time.
So cool to know that I have viewers from Australia! 15 reps in a row is hard, but I think you have the strength to do it. You just need to work on the technique!
you're awesome man. keep chasing those goals.
Haha I still remember the moment when I first made it. It’s all about being persistent!
i like you man, this video feels very wholesome and you've put me in a good mood, thanks!
Well done dude i am in a same positions.. I have been practicing from 6months once or twice a week... Almost gave up but now gonna try again
Hii geek climber i just want to say man you are a god....
I just did my first proper muscle up today and i am on cloud 9..thanks for making it simple.
I never had any problem with strength but would never go above chest.. Thenx tells to do a lat pull down that was not working for me. I was also making the 2 mistakes:
Thumb on top of bar and
Knees not touching the chest, i was trying to start the knees towards an LSit but today i changed that..
At first did the chicken wing and after a few more tries cwas able to do 1 muscleup with good form(not the best)
Was stuck on it for so long. Thanks mate.
@@asdfasdfwae Woot!
@@asdfasdfwae Well done pal!
Back in high school i went from 4 basic pull ups to 8 muscle ups in a month although i did train 3 hours, 6 times a week. The only 2 things you have to do to make muscle ups easier is try to do pull ups as high as possible and do dips on 1 bar (like when you're supposed to push up from the bar), talking from personal experience.
Dude u need to train 7 days a week...
geek or not, you are a inspiration bro. I don't know how i let myself down, from 15 pulls ups to not being able to do even 1. 25 years, 2 kids, a half baked career, feasting and no weight training, that's how. I will get my 15 pull ups back!!
Life is never a straight line going up! Good luck :)
Thanks, man. Your video made all the difference in me making my first muscle up after a month of working up to it!
You're a real motivation, keep it up! :)
Wow. What a story of triumph. Love this😆 I was screaming “yes!!!” When you got it!!!! Felt like I did it myself lol
So glad that you can relate to my struggle haha. Man, I still remember the moment when I first got up the bar without the chicken wing. It was amazing.
Thank you man, that was very inspiring, i literally watched your video yesterday, and done muscle up today!!!
Awesome job dude!!! Glad that my video helped you!
Congratz ! do never give up !
nice job my dude :) thank you for posting your progression and tips
You're welcome! Glad you find the tips helpful!
Holy %&#@ I am so proud of you and I don't even know you! This is like watching someone else send a difficult problem in the gym! Great work!
Glad you can relate to my excitement! You are right, the feeling of doing the muscle up is like sending a project that I've been working on for a long time!
This is more help-full than tutorials even 🤷🏻♂️👏👏👏
Haha this is definitely the easiest variation to do a muscle up. I had to piece together information from different videos.
@@GeekClimber i can only do the chicken muscle up 😔
Good job man 🙌🏼
Never give up! Inspiring.
Man this is the exact reaction that I had when I did my first muscle up, just the feeling of achieving something you think was impossible☺️
So glad you can relate to how I felt! That feeling is truly amazing.
Me too, after a lot of work I achieved it too
It was an unbelivable feeling
Roku 🤙
Roku but it was kipping muscle ups was yours too?
I can't even do just 1 muscle ups. My best achievement was 8 pull ups. That's it...😐
Wow in 21 days he didn’t get much stronger at all but he got that technique down and taught his body how to do the exercise as efficiently as possible
You are exactly right!!
I challenged myself to the limit and did 100 MUSCLE UPS a day for just 10 days. And the results were absolutely crazy! Check it out!
great man congratz for your muscle up result afterall , happy that found your video really helped me to realize my mistakes in technique
Congratulation bro!! Now youre more strong , good job
Yes! I will keep on training to become even stronger!
I have been doing the muscle up for about 9 months now. But i never pushed my chest foreward because i didn't know you needed to do that. It's because of you that i learned that. Thank you man
Great job!! Glad that my video helped you!
I like how you look like you are holding a certificate in your hands when you explain stuff
LOLLL 😆😆😆 your comments always give me a good laugh 👍
i was so happy for you at thhe end that feeling is amazing good job man!
I have been trying to do muscle up for like a month now. Ur video showed me that i can actually do it. Thank you
Good job! Ive had the same problems when i tried learning muscle up and i was like, where am i doing it wrong?!? i can do sooooo many pullups in a row but getting on top of the bar with both arms at same time is so hard! so the technique were the biggest problem but i learned it like 2 months ago and now im feeling great when doing it!
Haha so cool that we went through a similar journey. Congrats on learning the muscle up!
Omg, you are my hero, today I managed to do my first clean muscleup thanks to your knee movement suggestion! And I thought I couldn't do it cause I was a girl (center of balance). Thank you, thank you!
That’s super awesome!! I know that girls have to work extra harder than guys to achieve the same thing in fitness. Congrats to you!!
absolutely love the analytical breakdown
Well done bro..way to go!!!
It’s all about being persistent!
I like your efforts dude. Congratulations, Very inspiring. I've lived a very sedentary like til now and I'm getting older (almost 60), however my goal is to be able to do 5 pull ups..just regular ones.
I highly recommend you give rock climbing a try! That’s how I developed my pull strength for the pull-ups.
Heck yeah dude!
I was so pumped up when I did it!
Thanks alot your tips sounds so helping
WOW How inspirational!!! THANKS!
You’re welcome! I still remember the moment when I first made it!
For anyone trying to learn how to muscle up the biggest tip I could give you is to work on the negative part of the muscle up just as much as the pulling up part of it. Jump up and get yourself held up above the bar with your arms pushed straight down holding yourself up above the bar, and then slowly lower yourself down to the ground very slowly. Doing this helped me achieve my first muscle up in just about a week of practicing this multiple times a day. The negative part of the movement made such a huge difference for me.
To be honest I never understand why doing negatives help. Say if you are learning to swim, you learn with the help of a kickboard instead of swimming backwards.
@@GeekClimber I dont know tbh, I just know I wasnt really getting anywhere until I started doing the negative part and my progress bumped up so fast after that. Just a strange way our bodies work I guess.
@@GeekClimber that is not a relevant analogy
@@GeekClimber like your swimming.
A negative would be doing it laying on a board.
So you can flop your arms around and learn how to do it
After that you get those tubes arlund your arm or try the technique in a kiddy pool.
Youre now swimming
2:33 that blue guy dance...
Thats definitely green, maybe leaning on teal.
EttGlasVatten your probably looking through a bad lcd panel.. idk but it’s definitely blue and teal
Thanks for sharing 35 days of knowledge and saving us months of trying the wrong approach or trying to figure it out.
Will try this soon!
You made me feel a million times better and saved me
a hundred videos to watch :”D You’re brilliant !
When i see this video, im just smile, it remains me when my first time i get muscle up, same like u, youtube ,training then youtube again.😁
Haha high five bro! So cool to know that you have been through the same journey as I did.
@@GeekClimber everyone struggle to get muscle up..😄
YESH YESH!
this guys happiness after doing it should make anyone happy
Man, I still remember the moment when I first got up the bar without the chicken wing. It was a truly amazing feeling.
Geek Climber you can tell just from the pure bliss as you finally got it! Keep it up!
thanks bro gonna start later. Amazing!!!
