Muscle-up Contest: ASAP [As Slow As Possible]

Friends,

My friend Xi Xia and I have been goofing around a bit with muscle-ups. Rather than doing a bunch of them AMRAP, as many rounds as possible, we thought it might be fun to try ASAP, as slow as possible, as a means to grease any and all sticking points.

We thought it might be fun to have a Slowest Muscle-up Contest. I will once again twist his arm to video some muscle-ups tomorrow, and anyone else is welcome to post the slowest muscle-up they can execute.

And, uh, no competitive gymnasts.

best,

jason

Now this is a interesting contest!

If I do any good muscle-ups tomorrow, I'll upload mine.

A week ago i posted a video with some trianing clips and there is a muscle up. It could be slower but i didn't know about this contest

(muscle up is at 45 seconds of the video)

Heh, that sounds fun i might get in on this

Here's my ASAP muscle up...It has as much forward lean as you can get. lol

Former gymnast?

30s would probably be a good goal... 12s pullup, 6s transition, 12s dip

Ya nearly chicken winged that MU, Sasquatch. Nevertheless, nice.

I think I am going to get in on this. I will borrow my roommates camera and film it today (if I remember).

Sorry, I didnt have access to the camera. . .my roommate got home after I went to the gym.

Squatch

Nice one, mate!

I've noticed the dip portion of the movement is the easiest.

One of the values of this for me is largely mental --- slowing down the transition part again and again has really increased my sense of stability.

Looking forward to seeing more. It's also a good way to get to meet and see people, too.

I'll try to post mine later today.

best,

jason

Holy crapoli! That's awesome, sasquatch! I am jealous

:shock: .... Amazing!

O_o wow. :shock: How tall are you and what do you weigh, if you don't mind me asking?

Nicely done, Marlon! Even the transition was done very slowly and smoothly.

Yours in Fitness,

That was sick Marlon! :twisted: :twisted:

I'm 6 feet tall, and right around 185 lbs.

Nice. That's outstanding!

That is nasty, Marlon Way to set the bar high. Here is my slow MU attempt.
