Slizzardman Muscle ups

Not quite perfect, since I was in a hurry and my pull up and push up work was done yesterday. Still, not bad for 226. Yes, I've lost a few pounds I'm actually 220 flat first thing in the morning. I guess that's what happens when my workouts and nutrition both get screwed up.

Great job dude! Very strong. You do that like you're a pixie....

Thanks! One day I'll be able to do a proper L-seat muscle up. That's a long way off, my triceps are nowhere near strong enough to stay upright lol!

Looking good!

Very strong MU. notice the wider than normal ring width. It's not quite a wide arm MU, but it's getting there with a very smooth transition.

Really cool how you go slowly trough that transition plus as Blairbob said the width.

Thanks guys! I definitely focus on developing my strength and stability, and I'm glad it's paying off. Eventually, some years down the line, I'll be doing a MU that's at least very close to the famous Andreas Aguilar muscle up. The slow transition is where it all starts, I believe. I've never worked the close muscle ups, this is just how I started doing them. I think that because my false grip work is done wider than normal I didn't have trouble starting with the relatively wide MU.

Very impressive, looking forward to your iron cross soon :twisted:

Where you have pause, you should have rolled your shoulders a litlle earlier, then there wont be any pause.

GREAT JOB THOUGH!!

1. That transition was awesome

2. I have that same scale. It is weird

Gregor: I'll be working on that from now on. Thanks!

Sternford: Lol thanks! The scale IS weird. I only got it because it does .2 lb increments, which was the smallest I could find on a digital scale at the time. The bone mass, body fat and water ratios are a load of crap though, it thinks I have 29% body fat. Makes me laugh to think that some people depend on those things for bodyfat measurements.

These look GREAT!

You must have worked on the transition really hard.

One question since my Computer has no sound..

Did you tell in the video that you use chalk to maintain the false grip?

I think so! I'm not sure. My flexibility is getting better, so I won't need it in a month or two.

Awesome work man!

Thanks!

I'd like to point out that because I don't consider my shoulder to be ready for muscle ups, I still do not train them as a movement. I work on the components for now, and this is working very, very well as you can all see. If you've got a nagging injury like me, be smart and don't do more advanced stuff until it's completely gone.

Respect. Muscle up at 226 is bad to the bone.

Slizzy - You rock.
