never done crossfit before but he is in a crossfit gym with dave who is pretty much the VP of crossfit... the term "scripted" doesn't even do it justice..
Not sure if it was staged, but definitely a confidence booster for those still trying to get their 1st muscle up. All part of Dave's grand plan.....lol! Great video!!
WHAT really that easy...i am so mad right now...i have been working on that for months...well good on you and i can't wait to hit the box again to try it that way...
hehe, crossfitters er often nice people, we are happy to see other succeed. When i finally learned the falsegrip i did my first MU in 2nd attempt, but not anywhere as strict as this guy :) I bet he has strong hands.
very true but gymnasts develop skills over the years from childhood and a lot lighter and smaller. great to see a skill being learned by adults striving for true strength and fitness.
1. I did my first muscle up first try and I wasn't even that seasoned in the sport either, so quit being butt hurt that he got his. some of us can handle our body weight really well. 2. can't people just stay positive?! I mean of all places to get such feedback I never expected it from a CrossFit hq feed. quit being butt hurt, work on your false grip, help everyone else out, and move the fuck on.
I know, it's sooo much more manly to lie in your couch one hand in trousers the other holding a beer while watching football. Even more manly is being obese, same position in a hospitalbed, being diabetic and having heartdisease... Maybe I prefer working out after all...
nobody is takin into account that he prolly weighs like a 130lbs so i dont think it was fake hes prolly just strong enough with his own bodyweight that he could do one 2nd try
YAY ANDY! : D Love his enthusiasm, Dave is good at coaching : )
did my first muscle up yesterday after watching this video, cheers Dave! Didn't even realise you could do a muscle up...

Got my first one this morning because of this video. Thanks guys!
In respect to Mr. Castro, when you do your job right you're gonna piss some people off. RESPECT to you sir

That was cool, that's what CF is about
the first muscle up is always amazing, but I couldn't get it as easy as these guy did
Agree! Regardless of what I said in previous message I was still pretty darn happy when I got my first MU :)
WHAT really that easy...i am so mad right now...i have been working on that for months...well good on you and i can't wait to hit the box again to try it that way...
you are so right
agreed no way was it first time. he then goes into a perfect form L Sit and trys a L Sit Cross lol a littel former gymnast there. 100%
tried his technique today and it worked!

Is it me or was that staged
nice job brother.
so wholesome
Rigged, the dude has done that before. I bet he could hold the iron cross, just look at how he came out of the muscle-up.
Dave castro has magical powers.
Did my first muscle-up on the rings today, first try :)
Haha indeed. Muscle Ups in gymnastics aren't even considered a skill, but just a way to get "on top" of the rings. Cool stuff never the less :)
very true but gymnasts develop skills over the years from childhood and a lot lighter and smaller. great to see a skill being learned by adults striving for true strength and fitness.
that is AWESOME.
Fake! Who does a muscle up on their 2nd attempt, and then goes into an L-sit hold. I smell BS!
You sure that's not Bart Conner? He curled his body weight no problem and has a nice strong core. Might do Pilates for all we know.
Not only does he get one, but it is strict ha!
That was cool!
i learnt something today
Crossfit = Gay. Dave = Gay.
...and being gay is...bad?
Rebecca Naeve Fuck yes!!!
Dave would destroy you!
He probably had some sort of athletic backround.
Awesome.
I have my goat work motivation for tomorrow
no fucking way he did that that easily...i can't even do it yet
Yea, I'm gonna call BS on that one. hahaha....
it clearly says he is a lighting specialist.. aka he is always in a crossfit gym making sure there is proper lighting when they do these fancy videos.
Never did a muscle-up but can pull a L-sit and begin lowering into a cross before dropping?
Holy crap!
the castro effect ahahah
Bomber!
I wonder if this is indicative of what we'll see in the Open? I hope so :)
your lighting guy doesn't do CF??? Fired! lol
camera trick!
I'm betting anything this guy has a past in rock climbing with the way he dresses and the body-weight strength he's got.
It was so fake I felt awkward just from watching it...
BS... but you almost had me.
I smell a set up......
1. I did my first muscle up first try and I wasn't even that seasoned in the sport either, so quit being butt hurt that he got his. some of us can handle our body weight really well. 2. can't people just stay positive?!

i would venture a guess and say that most people have no idea about dave castro's past,hense the shit he gets....just saying
Bullshit was that his first time
He kinda reminds me of James Franco
hehe, thats great :-D
I know, it's sooo much more manly to lie in your couch one hand in trousers the other holding a beer while watching football. Even more manly is being obese, same position in a hospitalbed, being diabetic and having heartdisease...

i see now why the false grip is used! now how about a bar muscle up?! lol those are impossible for me
Staged or not, gonna use for the inspirational purpose this was ment for
nice lol
wait why?
especially with no momentum
@MrFrazzle1990 technique mate, with out technique there's no point in even trying.
nobody is takin into account that he prolly weighs like a 130lbs so i dont think it was fake hes prolly just strong enough with his own bodyweight that he could do one 2nd try
Raising my bullshit flag as we speak
Hcampers57, troll.
R u kidding me wtf
hhahahahahhah fml
Cool! Haters can eat it
nicely staged!
The lighting is terrible!
Dave Castro is such a joke.
You pobably just lack the technique or flexibility part my friend.
First time my ass,fake!
What a big pile of BS.
staged
no. just no.
