I am on the assisted fase of the pull ups. Hopefully, with consistent work, one day I will get there

Good stuff man! 😂 I was on a similar Journey as well this year, took me 7 month to do muscle up, once I did the first one, I can do 3 in a row, but my shoulders/scapular are too weak for my weight (210 lbs), I am transitioning to front lever Training, hoping that it’ll strengthen my scapular more. Keep it up!

[stephenwilson]

Some really helpful advice here, thank you!!

[ReeferCheifer]

You were very committed to have achieved this in several months. Tight work! Me next

[Will-me]

such an awesome video. I just did my first assisted muscle up today with a rubber band. My hands are wrecked lol.

[koner]

I loved the video mate I think you should also try front lever 🤗
I also got my first muscle up with assisted bands (if you consider saying its a muscle up, but still training)

[AbombOO]

Impressive! Maybe strict muscle up next?

[tonik]

Guys, remember if you do muscle up like this guy you won't progress any further to a strict muscle up. To progress strict MU you need to train high pull ups trying aim to chest and lower for 3-5 reps each set, then you need to train transition part specifically on a low bar. You don't need to do any muscle ups at all (don't do it like this guy). You only need to train this 2 exercises high pull ups and transition for few months and then you get your strict clean muscle with perfect form in a first try. Good luck!

[nokkamies]

nice! you just really should always keep the thumbs around a bar. it much safer and also you can generate extra power by turning you wrists. it makes the whole movement easier

I did rock climbing for 6 months and decided one day to try it, first day failed, second day I somehow doubled my muscle strength and did 2 in a row and one with no kip.

[VelGoesBrrr]

Good job! Congrats :)

But I have to point out that those are kipping muscle-ups, not strict muscle-ups (not that it's bad, but it's just a different one).
Also, you your legs movement when coming up was funny asf xD

But yeah you'd probably do better if you kept your core tight and your legs straight (not easier, but cleaner and helpful to keep energy between reps, which would allow you to do more in the end).

[khaledjubeh]

Nice work 🔥
Congrats 🎊
how many pullups you were able to do when you started the challenge?

[MotoOMG]
