Jason - this is not a muscle up. I think you know that already. But if you don’t have a look at Maksim Trukhonovets world record from Nov 21. What you are doing is a kipping move - at best call it a CrossFit MU. It focuses on kipping momentum as opposed to shoulder, back and arm strength. It’s a good beginner move for those who haven’t got the strength to do a muscle up. I think CrossFit chooses to keep calling this a muscle up as it allows more people to think they have achieved an actual muscle up. Lots of the CrossFit guys I know can do the MU but are forced to concentrate on kipping because of CrossFit allowing low form moves in order to get rep numbers.
