THE #1 MUSCLE UP TIP THAT NOBODY TALKS ABOUT

When I started calisthenics, the muscle up seemed like it was so far away. I wanted it so badly and tried for months without success. It all changed when I tried this technique out!

I literally watched this video whilst walking to the park. Then did a muscle up within 5 mins. Thanks 😊

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!

[markoolujic]

Because of you, today I did my first muscle up! Thank you!!! 😊

I have been trying to do a band assisted muscle up for over two years, after seeing this I have achieved it at 2 weeks. Thank you!

Among the many muscle up instructional videos, you are the first youtuber to mention this concept.
It seems very helpful. I will try it!

[vince]

Tried working up my way towards muscle ups for around a 3/4 year. With your tip I finally did it now 🥰

[Lperw]

I checked almost all how to muscle up videos. You are definitely the first one mentioning this technique! Will try it next gym session, 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 😊

[michaelfuchs]

Right, that's where training for the front lever and for the muscle up really tie into one another. Great work, keep grinding! Cheers!

[Leks]

That's actually the way I got my first muscle up, and I also learned it by watching that same kali muscle's video, good job sharing this info :)

[zuko]

Definitely the best muscle up tutorial as of at today 👌🏼

[wesleylummis]

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!

[ryanccall]

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!

[IncogneatoVegan]

You and Jon Venus gonna force me to start calisthenics 😂🙌🏼

[vegetablepolice]

The only way I get a muscle up is when I kick my knees up so high they almost touch the bar lol. Pure momentum ;) I'll work on your technique, thanks.

[bombazine]

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.

[a.l.alexander]

You are the first I’ve seen with this technique. I will add it to my training towards my first muscle up, thanks

[nickk]

Good tip! Combined w negative muscle-ups probably the best tip yet.
