How I learnt the Muscle Up in 3 Months. Age 55 Years.

Learn to Muscle-Up. This is the ultimate Calisthenics skill. It took me three months of training before I did my first one. I was aged 55. This video is my journey.

Now at the age of 59, I am getting stronger and fitter with age. I am able to perform multiple muscle-ups, and my form is still improving. I wouldn't call them strict muscle-ups, but the kipping of the legs is massively less than in this video. Please join, subscribe and support me in turning the clock backwards.

This is the most practical video I've seen on Muscle Up's. No false optimism. Just do the hard work and you'll get there.

I'm 63 and will be 64 in a few days. I just started my journey to accomplish the muscle up. I can do about 15 pull ups, 30 ab rollers and push ups. I went and bought an assist band yesterday and tried this morning. Even my trainer said it was hard, but he did one. So, I'm not going to quit, your video is great and has given me the motivation. Thanks, and keep up the great work.

I'm only 35, but I gave up trying to do muscle-ups after only 2 months. Thanks for the inspiration, I'm going back to training👍

Thanks for your well done video. I'm 78 (female) and worked for months to do my first unassisted pull-up. Sometimes, I can do three, so my new goal is five. I've seen several young women at the gym doing pull-ups; love it.

Finally a dad spending his free time on something smart instead of following daily news or conspiracy theories. I hope I'll manage to stay this cool at your age.

I'm very inspired by your journey. I'm a woman and recently got my first pullup after training for 6 months. I think the muscle up will be my 5 year goal. Thank you for sharing this

Very inspiring video. Congrats and thank you. I'm 62 and just did 17 pull-ups. I had open heart surgery 17 months ago. I hadn't considered trying to do a muscle-up. 🤔 This is now a goal of mine! ... along with 20 pull-ups.

I am 52, started with calisthenics a year ago. Planning to do my first muscle up by the age of 55 too. Your example is inspiring.

Hey brother..a little late but I just came across this vid...congrats to you on your consistency, perseverance, and work ethic..obviously pays off!...having just hit my first muscle up at age 58 I can empathize with the struggle😉...but the feeling of hitting that first one made it all worth it for sure !! Best wishes from New Jersey..age is just a number...keep grinding and STAY HEALTHY👑💯👑💪💪👍

I’m 44 and just became able to do banded muscle up, but struggling A LOT. My goal is to be able to do muscle up by my next birthday. You video is so encouraging. Thank you!

Thank you old man. I'm 28 years old and just learned the muscle ups after almost 2 months of nearly everyday training. I watched your videos and get very inspired.
