    This is for the people who haven't managed to do the muscle-up.
    I have been training for the muscle-up for 2 months now. I can do 20 wide pull-ups, 25 chest level pull-ups, 50 dips and 60 push-ups (these are all my maximum reps in a single go, nothing super great but this post isn't about me showing how strong I am). Anyways, videos keep mentioning how anyone who can do 10 pull-ups and 15 dips can achieve the muscle-up. But I still couldn't get it down. I was convinced that it was my technique.
    I then came across this video. I'm not saying this is the best video in the world, but I can say that this video is all you need to understand the technique that is required for the muscle-up. I don't usually post comments but I figured that this will be helpful for the people still struggling with the muscle-up even though they know they have the strength. I went to the gym the next day after watching this video and managed to do 10 muscle-ups. This is my opinion: The advice of jumping TO the bar is so important. I always attempted the muscle-up from right under the bar and did not generate the right momentum. Remember to jump TO the bar. Tackle it. I found myself being able to get my elbows above the bar but I still couldn't lift myself up. This is what I think the video doesn't stress enough, you really need to kick up and bend your knees when you reach the "circle". I thought of tackling the movements separately, but it should be one fluid movement. Really think of the circle as a wall or a trampoline where you need to double jump - this will generate enough kick on the backswing to really push your chest over and bring you over the bar. This was the extra step I needed after failing for 10 minutes despite watching this video. You REALLY NEED TO KICK (legs should be straight and no whipping). So, remember... JUMP TO the bar and KICK! It should come easily after that.
    Sorry for the long post, but I wish someone had stressed how important kicking was (while the video does do it, I didn't really understand it). Hope this highlight how important technique really is; do not be discouraged because you're not strong enough because you are. You've trained for this. Now go and feel the glory of all your training paying off!

      Hey just to clarify this kick involves aggresively pulling my knees into my chest? Also do i do this at the same time as im pulling up into the bar?

    • @adrian_ncm
      @adrian_ncm 5 лет назад +33

      @@calebloh360 I wouldn't say it's "aggressive", when I look back at recordings of my movement, it's rather fluid. You don't have to be aggressive, but just be more "aware" and "conscious" that you are kicking your feet outward and pulling your knees back to you. Don't think about it too hard though, when I did that, I started to break down my movements again and it was no longer smooth. I was thinking about what I should do with my hands, because I couldn't wrap around how I actually got myself up the bar (yes I was confused even after being able to do muscle-ups because I couldn't comprehend the technique) but the momentum really carries you through. That's why I say technique is important; hence the stress on fluidity and momentum. What settled my mind was that I just focused on my legs - being conscious when I kick out my feet and bring my knees back in. I believe your upper body knows what to do subconsciously (for me at least).
      For your second question, after I reached the circle and kick out, I pull my upper body as I bring my knees up. You need the momentum to come naturally, and smooth. Imagine if you did them separately, it would distort the momentum and it wouldn't be as fluid. Hope this helps.

      And if so, do you remember :
      - what clicked in your brain? (technique details, overall approach?)
      - if you had to build up muscles other than those in your arms, shoulders and back? (ex : trunk, hips)

    I've been a rock climber for over a year, I sometimes do weighted pullups, last time I did 14 pullups all the way down at the end of an intense climbing session and still didn't get the technique down for muscleups (truth be told I never tried consistently or nearly long enough but I feel like with proper technique I could easily do them).
    Really good explanation and a good video for people to learn this. A lot of people keep pushing their fitness apps and paid programs (not an inherent problem with that but it becomes a problem when videos barely teaches you anything and you get these inserts in) without teaching you something properly.
