I use the step off approach too as I find it allows a more consistent swing. I find it helps to keep the body in one straight line too.

As for stepping in instead of jumping. not only is it easier to have more exact grip width, you can better control your swing (and thus your bar path). Also, depending on the height of your bar, your actual grip alignment will be different. With stepping in from a box or a stone, you can get closer to a false grip (making the transition easier), which is almost impossible with a jump. At my gym, the bar I use is almost exactly at the level of my raised arms, whereas at home it's a good foot higher.

I would consider this is a progression. Stepping, to a low jump, to a high jump. It's nothing like going from bands to bodyweight or anything, but being "adaptable" and able to do them on bars of different heights (or when you don't have a step) is a good milestone.

hi Mike, good time to speak about grip, specially on thicker bar, i stil working with 25 kg elastic band.. outside the bar is thiner...and it look easier to rotate the hands...and not loose the bar because tiredness...inside i use a thicker bar and it looks that i need to have a over hand grip. specially with tireness ..thanks for your answer, Philippe!

For keeping the legs in line with the body, besides a smaller swing and pulling later, I think you also mentioned before how the two-point pull can help. It helped me. I think it's harder to control your legs if you pull with 100% power from the start.

goated, thank you so much for the video mike, after a long time of doing one muscle up, i still do it with kipping and all, do you think i should start attempting to do muscle ups for reps or do i focus on cleaning the muscle up to stop kipping and do it with straight legs first, and whichever you think i should do first, how do i start doing it, thanks again

Thanks Mike! I will try the step off approach too 👍
