Your reminder to use a hollow body position for muscle ups netted me my first strict bar muscle up today. Seriously-I'm very happy! I've been working on bar muscle ups seriously since 2017. Mostly self-taught (I've had strict ring muscle ups for years, so it'll be easy, right?). In 2019 and 2020, I started getting great muscle ups with a bit of swing, but always got blocked by the bar when I tried strict. I wish I'd seen this back then!
i know Im randomly asking but does anyone know a method to get back into an Instagram account..? I somehow forgot the login password. I appreciate any tips you can give me!
@Jose Elisha I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and im in the hacking process now. Takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Hola Micha, la verdad es que es el mejor vídeo que he visto sobre dominadas para muscle-up. Yo estoy entrenando para hacer el muscle-up estricto y después de ver este vídeo ya sé como debo hacer mis dominadas. Excelente explicación. Por su puesto tienes mi like y suscripción. Un saludo.
I think doing hollowbody pullups strict meaning without a swing and pulling behind the bar rather than trying to get the chin over ther bar in a straight line are really useful to build some capacity in the 6-12 rep range. Then after a few months switching to hollowbody chest to bar pull ups with a little bit of swing in the 5-8 rep range to build some spesific strength for muscle ups. Also obviously building strength in the weighted pull-up/chin up will carry over nicely to muscle ups. One more thing: control the negative for some extra hypertrophy gains dx
Great advises about when to use each movement, and the way to perform it correctly. I think I learn several things that I will apply on my trainings. Thank you
I've been starting my sets with an arched back. Since its the harder form to maintain when fatigued. Makes sense to me to start with the arch. And as fatigue sets in since the body naturally hollows anyways. To just transition from arched to Hollow at that point. Work with the body not against it.
Thanks, going to the park again to keep trying. I can do 20 somewhat high pull ups and 20 really deep dips, pretty explosive but something in my technique (I guess) is holding me back from the muscle up. Gotta also try the bands again and maybe try lowering from the top to learn this.
Maybe it's the transition from below the bar to over the bar. Try putting a bench next to your bar and practicing your transition by jumping to get yourself over the bar. This helped me get my first consistent muscle ups.
This is exactly the info I was looking for! Thank you! One question: some say hollow body is best for *lat* engagement because the muscle is stretched the most at the bottom whereas hollow back is best for *general back* engagement. Is that what you think too? or do you think hollow back is also best for lats?
I feel my lats more during hollow body too. This also makes sense in context of muscle up. Muscle up demands hollow body to pass around the bar and the movement of explosive pull up is more like a lat pull down than a vertical arched pull up.
Humm. I'm still using a band to get over bar bar. I'll try more hollow back . More explosive today. I had 1 day rest. So if I go fresh today. Let's see what happens. After training 20 or 30 reps of muscle ups I'm done. Exhausted
Hi Micha, I have some questions on hollow body pull-up. Is that pull is similar to lat pull down and do the elbows need to face forwards when you pull? Thank you very much
Micha, one question sir: What about the weighted pull ups, what is the best position for the hips ? Is it more neutral or more tilted to the back ? (Thanks for everything you do)
In the hollow body pull up, do I have to retract the scapulas AND perform thoracic extension (arch the back), or do I perform only one of the two, or do I do neither one? For the arched back pull up, I know it is necessary to both retract the scapulas and do thoracic extension (arch the back). But scapular movement is not clearly described for the hollow body pull up. Thanks.
What about the most common pullup form (body straight) ? How is it called,and does it train back muscles differently than the other two variations? Thanks Micha!
The common pull up is good to train but if u want to build main back muscle gainz u should use arched back pull up and if u want to improve your muscle up , pull strength you should use hollow body pull up
But lats are shoulder internal rotators. Too much arch pull ups => too short lats => bad shoulder. So, my default pull ups are hollow body pull ups where lats are in more elongated and scapulas are in more protracted position.
@@MichaSchulz because they rotate shoulders inwards, which leads to narrowing of the subacromial space, irritation of the rotator cuff tendons, impingement syndrome, etc. You can easily google it.
Hi, thank you so much for this video....I can currently do 15 bodyweight pullups and 10 reps with an extra 10kg...But I find it really hard to muscle up! I think its because im instinctively trying to do hollow back muscle ups since i always focus on scapula retraction during pullups. It could also be a problem with changing the wrist angle cause i have occasionally gotten a false grip muscle up. Any thoughts? Thanks again really good info :)
that is fricken awesome pull up strength. Maybe this might be a momentum issue in going from pull up to then getting your shoulders over the bar. I would HIGHLY recommend searching "THENX muscle up". Chris has some awesome tips. Cheers
@@MichaSchulz I'm not criticizing you. I think your videos are great and I will continue to watched them. That's why I subscribed. I really enjoyed your resistance band video though. If you're able to, please do some more. If not that's okay, I'll continue to follow you anyway because your techniques certainly have worked for you. My goal is to one day have your kind of physique. Thank you for responding. Have a great day!
@@OblivionZealot I understand your point but he made a great video on how to replace free weights with resistance bands. Try to access it. I think you'll agree...
One of the best vids about pull up on RUclips man, great explanation, thanks!
Finally have a video to tell the differences of the form. Even the most famous callisthenics channel not to do so. Really great for this video

probably best advice for mastering the muscle-up I’ve seen so far
Thanks so much for this lesson! You're realy a master of calisthenics!

Thanks so much you saved my account!
Now it's very clear to me the deference between hollow body pull up and hollow back pull up, thanks a lot to you 💪💪
I was so confused between the two. This is a great explanation. Greetings from Berlin!
Great explanation of the difference between these two types of pull ups!
Thank you for the like of my comment
Best pull up tutorial on you tube. Kudos and respect to you
Very good and clear video, I've been struggling with the muscle up for a while and this explains it a lot better than others, so I've subscribed
The best pull up video I ever seen
Been doing pull-up for a few years now and was not aware of this

This explains why my back isn't growing, because I do hollow body pull ups every time. Thanks for sharing this.
the hollow body position is better for the lats though.

I've always trained the hollow back pull so I can't do muscle ups without using my knees, now I will train also the hollow body pull up
Danke dir, sehr hilfreich!:)

Best explained. German precision.

well explained
I must say no other RUclipsr shared this part. Lol. Thank you!
Great video, thanks so much
Very useful , thanks from Mexico!
OMG thank you soooo muchhh!!! You are amazing that helped so much!!!Keep going
Great breakdown of hollow pull-ups

I need this bro thanks! Trying to get a muscle up
super video. Thanks

U can't use your lat in scapula retraction
perfect explanations!
👉🏻 How hard is it to Touch your chest to the bar in hallow back Pull up? Because I can only come half way up, so that elbows down part is very hard
I say that highly depends on your anatomy. For some ultra hard, for others on the same strength level quite easy
Thank you!
Your hollow body pullups looks awesome brah
Ja merci vielmals! 👍
Exelent !!! thanks for the tips 👍👍👍 keep going
I can do high pullups to upper abs with hollowback pullup, am I able to do high pullups with hollow body pullups or is it harder?
Simple clear advice, love it, thanks my man 💪
hey man thanks for another great video what is your height and weight?
Danke Micha!
Should I train explosive (bodyweight) high pull ups or focus on weighted normal pull ups, to get muscle up?
Both! If you are a beginner, rather weighted pull ups
Humm. I'm still using a band to get over bar bar. I'll try more hollow back . More explosive today. I had 1 day rest. So if I go fresh today. Let's see what happens.
After training 20 or 30 reps of muscle ups I'm done. Exhausted

Good 🙂👏
I am confused. Some people say that hollow body is better and some say hollow back is better. I feel stuck.

I was wondering the same thing.

If you want maximum lat engagement, use hollow body pulls, if you want general back engagement than go for the arched back pull ups
Baran Çil ???
But lats are shoulder internal rotators. Too much arch pull ups => too short lats => bad shoulder. So, my default pull ups are hollow body pull ups where lats are in more elongated and scapulas are in more protracted position.
Why should short lats be bad for your shoulder? The amount of internal rotation you are using is something you are in charge of.
@@MichaSchulz because they rotate shoulders inwards, which leads to narrowing of the subacromial space, irritation of the rotator cuff tendons, impingement syndrome, etc. You can easily google it.
Миха молодчик!
This MIGHT be what I’m doing wrong trying to muscle up. Need hollow body pull-ups!
Micha could you do a video of your measurament(forearm,chest ecc)? I think many people Will be curious to the numbers behind your performance!
ehm maybe yes =D

Get a mic dude, you're echoing like crazy. The audio is terrible.
Just take the seconds to write this comment to check the new videos, already fixed 🙏📈
A little disappointed. Expected more free weight, resistance bands comparisons!

Why would you "expect" him to upload videos with free weights and resistance bands? He does calisthenics and weighted calisthenics. That's his thing?
