If you want to learn to do Muscle up with an absolute perfect form, then it’s no doubt, that you need to be able to do high pull-ups.
However, most people struggle with the high pull-ups and they can’t progress.
Why is this? How should you train for the high pull-ups? What are the most effective progressions?
This exercise is a type of pull-up that you need to do in an extra range of motion for which you need explosive strength.
As I mentioned in my previous videos, most people do pull ups with their chin going over the bar.
However, for the real full range of motion pull-ups, their chest should touch the bar, and that’s the exercution that I personally recommend.
In the high pull-up you need to pull up yourself even more! So the chest to bar pull-up is not enough anymore, you need to go higher than that!
But how?!
I’ll tell you in this video!

watching your video I see I have a long way to go to do a mussel up, but am going to give it my all. I am 74 now and hoping to be able to do a mussel up before 75. Thanks for the great video.

I have just started back at weight training a little over a month ago, It was like starting all over as have to take it very easy till my back gets stronger, Still finding it painful getting down on the flat bench. But once down for a bit seem to be not bad. Still hoping to do a muscle up but most likely will be a while and a lot of work, hopping by my mid year of 75 as only a month to go to hit 75.

You have some good points in the video. But I was expecting you to mention the wrist turn while reaching the highest position above the bar too. I can clearly see you doing it in the video. I think it requires a loose grip on the bar and the bar or the hands should be slippery enough to allow it. Some information on proper grip would be nice. Still thanks.

Recent subscriber. Love your videos. I've been working on filling in the last gap in my strict muscle-up strength (pulling from solar plexus to hips). Do you think it's any different to do jumping high pull-ups as opposed to jumping muscle-ups? The movements are slightly different. It seems like the jumping muscle-up incorporates a high pull-up but I'm not sure that's true.
This is very Very very great information 👍

i will share what has helped me in my search for high pull up, get a box or similar box for feet, get a bar that is set high enough so your arms are fully stretched and you are not touching the floor - lie straight with heel bone on the box , the higher the box the harder the exercise - now hang, now explode upwards to the bar with all your mind and power and imagine smashing the bar with your chest - you will be amazed how fast you can pull upwards , do this in sets, stop when the explosions are just pulls - explosions are fast of course, when they slow - rest, take a minute if you need to, repeat in sets - remember this is about explosions, do not keep doing inverted rows at slow tempo - that is different exercise for afterwards
I'm learning muscle up, I only have a rolling bar, I'm not sure if that makes it harder, Ive only just hit 10 pull ups with it and now I need to do high pull ups, I feel as if I'm physically not strong enough for one high pull up, great vid

I have a rolling bar at the park when I train. I can promise you it's much harder to do on that. I've tried it a few times and it's a confidence killer so quickly head back to the non-moveable bar. I do want to learn to hang for 90 seconds on that rolling bar though. I can win $100 at my local fair next year. :D Tried that last year and made it just over 60 seconds. I see it's been a year since your comment though. Did you achieve the muscle up?!

You should use what he teaches in 6:22 of the video and implement it into your training for chest-to-bar as well. And I recommend you should also use 2 bands or one band that totals to about 50 percent of your bodyweight to also train a little bit for the high pull-up before you train for the chest-to-bar in your pull workout sessions...and make sure to get something so your legs can be elevated from the ground for the high pull-up then try to explosively get yourself over the bar, hold yourself there, and slowly come down to the elevated platform you use. Don't let your legs hang til the ground so you can also afterwards train the chest-to-bar with full Range-of-motion along with lighter resistance

Would you recommend doing high pull-ups with no breaks "swinging break" (like you show in this video). Or is it okay to swing 1-2 times before pulling again? I personally, find It difficult sometimes to pull high instantly after the eccentric phase. Hope it makes sense :) Very informative video!

Sir I didn't understand with masttering the pull ups. So if I can do 10 pull ups, even if I'm struggling at the 10th should I train for high pull ups. Because thats what I did. I started calisthenics 2 months almost ago (with a workout backround almost a year with resistamds bands) and the only pulling movement with my body was pull ups. I did 4 sets of 8 2 times a week with other upper body exercises of course, and I gained only 1 pull up. After I trained high pull ups with band and I can do 2. Did I do the rifht thing? Should I continue to train high pull ups?

Are you maintaining hollow body for chest to bar? I believed with Scap Retraction/Depression that the body needed to arch at the back which in turn measn you cant do the hollow which is needed for muscle up? A little confused by this. Any tips? Thanks

@justinm412
2 жыл бұрын
Absolutely! Like he mentioned with the explosive push-ups, it’s the same with your pull-ups. Pull up explosively and see how high you can get. Again, just working towards getting higher than just “chin over bar.” It’ll take some time but with your foundation you’ll certainly be able to get there with practice! I would highly suggest the band as it helped me to get to a muscle up when you hit a plateau or jumping pull ups as well. I can stress the importance of hitting the right point when you’re moving forward. There’s a “sweet spot” where your body will have potential energy like you’re using a band.
I was trying to learn Muscle Ups but I can't even do pronated to chest pull ups let alone high pull ups, even tho I can do chest to bar chin ups, I am lacking both technique and strenght.

I'm stuck in exactly the same situation. I feel like my technique is wrong, you can't just pull up, you need to push your body away from the bar, otherwise you just hit it. So the angle you do your pull ups is totally different to regular pull ups. That's where I'm struggling
6 to 10 pull ups in 3 sets? so with 3 sets of 2 reps is ok?
So its basically a swing muscle up? I believe there is no advantage to this in building muscle or strenght than regular, well done, explosive pull ups.
