Vinni Williams Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Hey everyone, this is my first post on gymnastic bodies. I have been following gymnastic bodies for about a year now and working with the exercises since November. I have had a lot of trouble trying to perform a muscle up in the past. I read everything i could find online on how to train for one, but i still could not get it. Until... i bought a climbing rope three weeks ago. I have been training on it 3 times a week. I got my first muscle up today VERY unexpectedly seeing as how I have not practiced my previous muscle up training for weeks. I hope other people who are having trouble with the muscle up read this and find it helpful. I can wait to see what doors this opens up in my training!

haui Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 For me the best way was to do pullups and russian dips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Legrow Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 russian dips, and negative muscle ups was a good way for me to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinni Williams Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 For my rope training I performed about 5 sets three times a week. To perform 1 set I climbed the rope with only my arms about 10 feet high. Then I slowly lowered myself down to the ground. My starting position was sitting on the ground.
