Muscle-Up Form

Hi Guys,

 

Please let me know what you think of this form. Goal is obviously to not swing at all and do a pure strict muscle-up. Might be a case of just keeping at it to improve strength and flexibility. Let me know.

 

Thanks,

David

Doing them with slower tempo should eliminate swinging.

Go slower, try keep your body straight and focus on the transition, you want to do it smooth.

The true test of a strict ring muscle up comes when you do one or more repetitions while holding l-sit throughout the entire range of motion.

 

Go back to Russian dips and more false grip pull ups with a really slow negatives.

focusing on dipping variations and pull-up-variations will improve your muscle-up faster than you think. it does, at least for me.

 

for me personally, training the muscle-up is a waste of valuable training time.

Agree. Get strong first; an (unweighted) muscle up is justa way tto move from under to over... so as to begin your strength series

Thanks guys. This makes a lot of sense. Really appreciate the feedback. I will work on my strength through earlier progressions and the slow muscle up will come with time. 

 

Cheers,

Good choice

For example take a look at this clean muscle up, he's able to do it that clean as a byproduct of his straight arm strength.

 

I can't download it. This is the reason

Sorry, you don't have permission for that!

Hey guys,

 

Let me know what you think of this form. Been working earlier progressions, specifically false grip pull ups and slow negatives. Was going to hold off until I got the L-Sit strict muscle up down but might as well get pointers in between. Again I really appreciate the feedback.

 

Thanks,

David

Nice rings turned out at the top, but one issue that I'm seeing is that I think you're not fully extending your elbows at the bottom of the movement and also you're not properly getting in to a dead hang because your scap is not elevated at the bottom.
