👏 👏 👏 I like how this video doesn’t fall into the status quo of saying “if you can do X # of pull-ups and dips, then you can do a muscle up” while not showing the viewer how to TRANSITION. Unlike most others, This tutorial gives tips and demonstrates the “how to” in both directions up and down.

Amen. BUs aren't like some kind of recipe where you can gather the ingredients and think you'll get it. The transition is the key to the whole thing.

I've seen many tutorials before, but it is your tips that finally unlocked the ring muscleup for me. Thank you so much!

None of the other videos out there even come close. Superb detailed instruction, nothing showy or flashy, just detail, detail, detail. Brilliant. Thank you.

Good ring muscle ups tutorial.

thanks a lotduring a long time, I haven't try to do the ring muscle up because I couldn't do it. the transition was the problem even if I practiced a lot of exercices.I watched your video. I think about the terms "baby muscle up" and "put the shirt" . expecting just to do all from the begining. I could do it. not the baby muscle up but the muscle up in full motion (passing the transition it was a easy game to make the dip and turning the fore arms).thank to your video, I found the motivation to try another time to do the exercice, the concentration, the technique. I realize my dream to do the ring muscle upsince this time. the following week. I could do two reps and three.

AWESOME!!!

I'd focus on whatever the diagnosing doctor told you and look for a specialist physical therapist with experience in your condition.

I did the baby muscle up for a while and have some comments. It's a great way to practice the movement in the beginning, but it's easy to cheat yourself depending on how much leg drive you use. I think after a certain point you should replace it by band assisted muscle ups, since you know how strong you are just by the strength of the band you use. So far I would go with the following: 1. Focus on False grip pullups. Do Baby Muscle Ups and Ring Dips as well. Also do ring rows where you pull all the way to your chest (no less). Once you can do around 5 False Grip pullups: 2. Focus on the transition using a strong band underneath your butt. Start with many sets of few reps and work towards a 5 sets of 5 before you switch to a weaker band. Most importantly: DO THEM AS SLOW AS POSSIBLE. If necessary, take a stronger band than you thought. This is only where I finally "got" the movement. You need to pull towards the bottom of your chest, while keeping your chest high. The movement is more like a full range of movement row, but while also resisting the force pressing your hands up. So you're pressing down while pulling in. Also important: Keep your legs straight during the practice. Otherwise you might start to cheat using too much hip momentum. Complement this again with False grip pullups and Ring Dips. 3. As you get stronger with the banded transitions, practice the False grip pullups in an L-sit and start doing the Ring Dips while starting from the bottom, not the top. This increases the challenge for those movements again. Of course always start with the transition work, then do Pullup/Dip training. This is what I've been doing so far. Each phase can last a few weeks, maybe even months, but you'll build quite a bit of muscle and strength during it (at least I did).

It's just as easy to cheat yourself with a band. You're just adding a shopping list to the same principle of assisted reps.

@georglehner407

Жыл бұрын

@@gmbfit I agree that you can cheat with bands too. That is why I wanted to stress how important it is to do the transition very slow and strict, with straight legs in front of you. Because then the strength of the band plus the amount of reps you can perform becomes a very precise metric that tells you where your strength level is at. You simply don't have that much feedback with the baby muscle up. You might be getting stronger but you don't really know. I've been practicing baby muscle ups for several months on and off throughout the last two years and I always thought I'm just not ready for the muscle up because I saw no progress. It wasn't until I took false grip pullups and banded transition work seriously that I started to see good progress.

I think the best way to learn ring muscle up is to use a resistance bands. If you use 30-35 kg band, you can do your first muscle up in few days. And then just use thinner and thinner bands.

Imbalances are pretty personal, and there's no magic bullet we could make a video about. For the most part, muscle imbalances are a favorite topic of armchair trainers who have never coached a real human. That's not to say they don't exist and can't be problematic, but a solid, full-body routine is still a better bet for most people than attempting rehabilitative interventions without professional help. If you want to work with somebody in person, check the list of our trainers and get in touch: gmb.io/trainers/ :)
