People who don't know anything about gymnastics or calisthenics generally don't understand the differences between a lot of exercises, your example of an elbow lever and planche is a great one and I've met a few people who didn't understand that they are totally different. Same thing with kip ups and "real" bar muscle ups. Same thing with banana back handstands and straight ones, "normal" people are clueless that that they require different levels of balance, control, etc. So you're right... If you want to try and look cool just to get on top of the bar, that's fine 😎 but most people don't want to put in the work to do clean ones. Developing the high pullups takes a lot of time and dedication for most, including me. But I take pride in clean execution so it's worth the grind to me. So thanks for posting these honest videos, most people don't want to hear this kind of brutal honesty or tough love or whatever. Keep it coming man, love your videos 🤸🏼♂️🤸♀️🙏😎
Thank you for the detailed explanation! I had to figure it out on my own, sore elbows were a problem, now I see why. I have a video of how I used to do it, now I can get it right.
You opened my eyes with that video and the one about pullups. It seems like I found a great channel I will definitely be coming back to. Don't want to be rude, when you pronounce 'technique', pronounce -ch as -k - /teknik/. Thanks a lot for sharing your experience. Cheers!
This and ALL of your videos are A1 and packed with info. No need to apologize to the haters - it’s easier and quicker to type your complaints than to be a real man or woman and put in the work to be awesome!!
I love how this video is explained, as your other videos as well, one thing I would like to point out (this differs for everyone) is the importance of keeping the elbows close to your body when going down from the muscle up, I experienced elbow pain for 2 weeks because I was descending with "natural elbow" position, this was my doom! now that I fixed the pain and my coach told me to "force" (just a little) the elbows close to the body I didn't experience stress on my elbows anymore, literally a life saver!
The video quality is awesome and while I agree on almost everything here the order of importance should probably be High pull ups > Technique > Bar dips. It's just that i've never met a person not strong enough to push himself up from that position if he has the strength for the high pull ups and can get over the bar. If you could do a few push ups/dips you will most likely have 0 problem with straight bar dips.
Hi Adam, i'm a big fan of yours, and you are a top teacher/athlete. I have two questions, hopefully you can answer! 1. When pulling and going down, what do you think about the mindset of pulling imagining to touch your elbows? With the mindset of pulling close to your body. 2. What should be the position of my scapulas in the movement? Retracted, depressed, hollow? Or pull in a Retracted position and hollow on the top?
I am not Adam, but 1)Imagine bringing the bar to your chest/waist (practice with e.g. holding a stick in your hands horizontally above the floor with your arms straightened, then extending/stretching your shoulders/chest (keep stick above you arms stretched), finally depressing/engaging scapulas going into hollow body position, bringing your elbows closer to each other while "pulling" the bar to your chest/waist and bending slightly over). 2) at the beginning scapulas relaxed (see his videos on high pull-ups), as soon as your are pulling you need to engage them (depressing would be enough). During the dip fase, keep your scapulas/shoulders depressed/away from your ears. Maybe someone else can comment.
I already unlocked my first muscle up, however, my technique kinda sucks and I'm only able to do 2 reps. I'm going to apply your tips and see what happens. Thank you so much in advance, Adam. Greetings from 🇪🇨.
@@GymnasticsMethod 🙂right again. Of course you're using muscles. But🙂☝️when I use the technique it's like I'm flying into the end position. Feels like ZERO AFFORD🙂😉✌
Hey I just realised i was doing muscle up using kip power( clean) , now i want to move towards the strict muscleup. I have pretty strong basics but the problem is i am not getting any explosive and also being trained for deadhang position active hang and power generation seems difficult. I have no access to bands. What do i do? Please help me out
@@GymnasticsMethod here you can watch the video on the spider muscle up: ruclips.net/video/m2kTf3PKIko/видео.html The reason I ask you is that I really can't figure it out been trying to many times...
Bro , no offence you are always perfectionist in your videos!!!, But here you forgot about telling how to change the grip while getting over the bar!!!😅 Infact for people like me,, it is a major role player..btw I did my first muscle up yesterday thank you!!!🖤 Will Always support you!!
1:48 I just wanted to clarify that this exercise is NOT called "kip up", it's actually called "dynamic muscle up", the kip up is a very different move where you are lying on the ground, then you roll backwards and finally push yourself off the ground with your hands to land on your feet
I've never seen a guy do a strict muscle up. Always swing up. I'm not strong enough. I can do it with purple band only. No way naked. You are way way too strong . I'll never be superman or spiderman
I don't want to criticize anyone or anything? Wtf, what happened to constructive criticism, why is everyone suddenly so terrified of hurting someone's feelings? This epidemic of "niceness" is ruining us, we know what we really think about other people, they suck, we should be able to criticize them freely, not them personally necessarily, though that shouldn't be verboten, either, their actions, their ideas, it can be done respectfully and constructively and if someone still feels offended, tell him about Nietzsche, explain to him that that's just his slave morality talking.
all the youtube channels are like this now, there are no negative or critical comments, all bots and astro turf, all 100% fake, compare this to how the comments on youtube looked 8 yrs ago, complete opposite, that was people actually expressing themselves, no one is allowed to do that in the mainstream like youtube anymore. Look at the comments here from grown men "i love you" "you are the best" "god bless you" , cmon who talks like that? it's all 100% fake bro, all astro turf. None of this is real. This is a crap channel for learning calisthenics btw and completely useless for learning gymnastics.
Your videos are the best, Adam! Honest, pointed and simple. And subtly funny.
Thank you
I appreciate the detailed videos! I’m always looking to improve my technique and your channel has become one of my favorites - thank you!
Great! Thank you for the feedback!

Thats the most detailed muscle up tutorial i have ever seen. Loved it bro thanks alot!
Now I know what to practice at the gym. Good video

💯💯💯
Bro I also did this since I was feeling pain too!! It generally popped in my mind about keeping elbow close!!!

Wow. Seriously clean. Definitely a real pro.
MuscleUp = Getting your body up using muscle 💯💯🔥🔥 that alone is a great tip. Simple.
I’m glad you like it

Yeahhh that's what I was searching for!! Thank you!! =D
Great!!!
I would love to see you try out Saibov Calisthenics full-control zero-momentum muscle up. That dude is already a legend.
gracias, Maestro. Great Tips and advice from a seasoned professional.
Thank you

What a nice video bro. Keep going!!!
Thank you!
I think it helps when you have a coach in person but i am having trouble doing high
Very good explanation! Thanks:-)

Fantastic channel!

İ saw a 7 year old kid do a muscle up and i felt really bad, i am now training to it. Thanks for the guide it really helped
Your welcome I’m happy it helped!
Very good details n technics thank you sir love from india💚🙏
🙏🙏
What a great video thanks for the information
Thank you!
This is excellent!!
Thank you
your camera light is standing on the false sight ..
this r perfect MU's
👌YOU'RE TOTALLY RIGHT!! THE KIP DOESN'T NEED MUSCLES & STRENGHT( it's a gymnastic technique )
It needs but not as much as a muscle up :)
@@GymnasticsMethod 🙂right again. Of course you're using muscles. But🙂☝️when I use the technique it's like I'm flying into the end position. Feels like ZERO AFFORD🙂😉✌
You've changed the way I see gymnastics
🙏
thank you - keep going
Thank you, I will
I appreciate your opinion. I like your techniques. )
🙏🙏
Everything bout actual muscle up is so clean
Top class video
I think kipping yourself up to a muscle-up position should be viewed basically like doing half-squats.
Agreed, calisthenics athlete since summer 2023 here, my muscle ups are still sloppy 😅
Good man!
Great video sir, btw can I train on parallel bar dip instead on straight bar dip for the top portion of the muscle up?
Yes
Parallel bar dips are easier. Do 3 sets of bar dips, then 3 sets of parallel bar dips for greater muscle stress.
I have an idea, what's between dips on the bar and on the gymnastics rings?
Love from india ❤️🔥

2 years later. Did you learnef strict muscle up
@@tonik1886 easy peasy bro i have advanced to a good level and can now do a OAHS and full fl
I want to have the cleanest possibly muscle up, I would choose the clean muscle up for a present without a doubt
I would like to know who created the muscle up. Great video.
I don’t know .D God? :D
@@GymnasticsMethod hahahaha I've been researching the history of some exercises. I couldn't find anything about muscle up.
So clean
Thank you!
🙏
Could you teach us how to do a spider muscle up.. or frog muscle up and is this also a gymnastics move?
Tell me more!
@@GymnasticsMethod here you can watch the video on the spider muscle up: ruclips.net/video/m2kTf3PKIko/видео.html The reason I ask you is that I really can't figure it out been trying to many times...
@@biaritzsiroko6117 gotcha. This is a kind of kip, I don’t know where the name frog muscle up came from :)
Thank you brother
🙏
Thanks.
It must require a muscle I don’t have . I can do pull ups but the next move uses a different set of muscles
Buen video.
Thanks 🙏
Vey nice!👍
Based off of this video my biggest issue is that i have a 2 by 4 board as a bar
Sounds like I aint got much chance as I get golfers elbow from the high pull ups.
3:28 yo just look at the background girl 😂 I cant focus on the important stuff because of this 😭
🤣
Weak mind
@@ademanniche9 nigga that shit was 3 years ago I was 15
I get the technique, but I’m still struggling with this one 🤦🏻♂️.
is that a fake tan? What is it with ripped guys and fake tan?
It’s florida bro

👍
Bro , no offence you are always perfectionist in your videos!!!, But here you forgot about telling how to change the grip while getting over the bar!!!😅
Infact for people like me,, it is a major role player..btw I did my first muscle up yesterday thank you!!!🖤
Will Always support you!!
🙏🙏🙏
❤❤❤
How to inhale and exhale during consecutive muscle up 🤔
Here 4:15
1:48 I just wanted to clarify that this exercise is NOT called "kip up", it's actually called "dynamic muscle up", the kip up is a very different move where you are lying on the ground, then you roll backwards and finally push yourself off the ground with your hands to land on your feet
It called a kịp up in gymnastics.
@@Han-nk3io I just searched it up and it's still not called a 'kip up' in gymnastics, it's just called a 'kip'
But Kipling pull-ups are the only pull-ups
all you need is to be shredded low body fat :)
haha yeah that's the best, and I guess that's the goal of most of us
I've never seen a guy do a strict muscle up.
Always swing up.
I'm not strong enough.
I can do it with purple band only.
No way naked.
You are way way too strong .
I'll never be superman or spiderman
haha thank you! Don't give up, you got this
