Been following for 7 years now, from 13-20 years old. This man has changed my life. I can't imagine what the journey would have been like without these videos. There was a time I never saw myself doing a muscle up and now I can do them for reps. A time I couldn't touch my toes and here I am a few sessions from achieving my first side splits. A world of thanks to Daniel, I only wish I could help others in the same way
I used to be able to do 22 pull ups with no muscle up. To do muscle ups, doing further pull ups and dips wont help you. If you wanna do muscle ups, you gotta train your muscle ups. Practice the swing, your false grip, actually going around the bar. I went from no muscle ups to 4 muscle ups in a single session ofter learning the technique. A muscle up is not a pull up + dip, its a whole different movement, so treat it like one
I just cant explain how badly i wanted to hear this. I can do 20 pullups slow but cant muscleup, I never knew power was important, thanks for the video man.
People train endurance before strength, but my problem with that is, why? I have 6 pull, up to 7 in a row, I'm heavy (for my height I guess) weighting around 185 pounds, those are not lightweight pull ups
Just do resistance band muscle ups to get the technique progress from heavy to light band and in few weeks you will get it easily with that strong base
A tip that helped me: Add some weights bro If you can go 10reps with an extra 20kg weighing you down, imagine what would happen if you remove that plate. For me, I felt light as a feather. Before my first muscle-up, I never even tried it before that day. Then I thought to myself: "What would happen if I remove this 25kg..." And the rest is history 🙏
I've learned something with this short. Danny boy re-adjusting his grip every rep he performs. I've been holding on one grip but it loosens every so often. Gonna implement that too and start explosive training as I can only do 5 reps like a snail.
Bro thats impresive! I can't even reach it in my chest- I thought i didn't have enough mobilty and such, but nope i just did a towel pull and touched my chest no problem I just need enough strength for now, seriously though you're so strong mashallah
Thank you for your videos. Last sentence is so true and important. Noticed that extremely on my climbing skills. Always had a lot of biceps pain while climbing three times a week and not getting better. Climbing once a week now and my climbing went through the roof. Thank you for giving great tips :)
Remember, for those of you with small hands it’s gonna change the way you grip the bar and it’s gonna change the whole dynamic of your pull up. Get your knuckles on top.
I do like 88 of these as a warm up in the morning before sprint the 4.5 miles to work in a handstand. Cartwheeled to Geneva from NYC once. Y’all can’t mess with me, bro.
I’m him. I been him. I will continue to be him. The Him-ulation. Him Kardashian. Him-buktu. Himon and Pumba. Just got my DNA test back, turns out I’m 100% Him-alayan!
@@DrBreyn so essentially, your body has a protective mechanism that signals the shortening of muscle fibers if it feels like they are stretching to a point of damage. This is called the stretch reflex. When he says "using the stretch reflex" he's talking about using the downward momentum of the pull-up to trigger the stretch reflex and help you pop back up easily.
@@speedgizmo Dang, ok nice. Does it happen automatically if I go down all the way and then up right away, or is there some feeling I should look for and like a quick time event for it to work? 😅
This concept of training for explosiveness is shared with other movements such as jumping. I train to jump higher and pull ups is the perfect exercise for the first portion of arm swing as it strengthening the arms pull back part in the approach of my jump.
One question, in the video your body look protracted on bottom and retracted on top, i cant do that, my body tends to hollow and round when im up, so I lose my retraction from the middle of the rep. Any advice? I dont know if im lacking mobility or some muscle weakness
Are you paying attention to your scapula? If you pull it down and back your chest should automatically rise and put you in a slightly leaned back body position as you can see here. Make sure to pull "into"/with your back to properly activate it. That should leave your Body in a straight/ slightly arched position, depending on how much you brace your core/if you let your feet dangle. I prefer tension in the whole Body to avoid energy leaks. Hope i understood your question right and this might help you :D
@@Philantrophist94 my scapula is retracted and depressed until the bar is approaching chest, thats the problem, not sure if what im lacking is mobility or strength but my body in that position wants to protact scapula, not sure if i clearly explained hehe. My problem is or im lacking some mobility when bar is about to touch the bar or im lacking strength in a specific muscle that gets more active the closer the bar is to chest
@@KirlerZone okay i understand, Not really sure i can help then, sorry :/ i also struggle pulling higher than chest, my pull up isnt explosive enough yet so i kinda turn the top range into a lat/ tricep pushdown and it hurts my elbows due to prior issues. Just gotta get stronger and more explosive:D good luck!
Try supplementing with pull-up holds at the top, and try to build up to at least 3 sets of 30 seconds; do this once or twice a week. It's best to use a chair or step-ladder to get to the top position to do these so that you are fresh and can put all your strength into holding this top position. Hold the bar and make sure your scapula are fully depressed and retracted (down and back) before you step off the chair; a good way to ensure this is to check your elbows have gone slightly behind your back, and that your chest is "big".
In my opinion, if you can do a waist high pull up, then you should be able to do a muscle up. You just need to shift your hands forward and complete the dip motion.
Interesting I wonder if you have a video that specifically shows the training steps to reach muscle ups. I can do 6 pull ups fine in a row. Sometimes I do 100 focusing on fatiguing, that’s with a band for assistance and lots of 10s breaks lol. I’d love to get muscle ups mastered :)
I've also heard that explosiveness is good for strength building elsewhere recently. How is it squared with the alleged benefits of slow eccentrics? Explosive concentrics only?
I’m hovering around maintenance calories just now following a 12 week diet. In your opinion, is that the optimal time to improve pulling strength or would a calorie surplus be necessary? I’m pretty sure a calorie surplus would just make me heavier and make these movements harder 🤔
Not me doing 70 pound pull-ups and still not being able to muscle up lol. The explosive pull-ups are fun though, it’s kinda like arm pylometrics in a way
They say the route to your first strict muscle up is faster with false grips because when you get high enough, you dont have to rotate the grips to do the dips.
I can strict muscle up and I can say that it's not necessary, but it can help a lot. The real necessity is to have your knuckles facing the sky when gripping, don't have a hook grip

Bro, are you at my house? Me too! 😳😳🧐
That a boy, now get it fixed and do it all over again🫡
Do you feel better now?
"Don't be that guy who can do 15 pullups but not a muscle up".
I didn't come here to be attacked like this.

I do 20 pull ups and can't muscle up 💀

Nah you just suck
Dips are also important, just do at least 5 dips, so it will be easier
I just cant explain how badly i wanted to hear this. I can do 20 pullups slow but cant muscleup, I never knew power was important, thanks for the video man.
Because most influencers value going slow to increase hypertrophy to gain size instead of function
“Dont flail around like a fish”
95% of people who do muscle ups: Im gonna pretend like I didnt hear that
I am that guy that can do 25 pull ups consecutively buy can't muscle up 😭😭
People train endurance before strength, but my problem with that is, why? I have 6 pull, up to 7 in a row, I'm heavy (for my height I guess) weighting around 185 pounds, those are not lightweight pull ups
Hahaha i did my first muscle up when i could do maybe 3-5 GOOD pull ups. although not super clean ofc
Just do resistance band muscle ups to get the technique progress from heavy to light band and in few weeks you will get it easily with that strong base
Technique problem, practice the swing and get the timing right, negatives and bands will help you
Thanks a lot guys:)
Bro got the demon back
His back muscles have back muscles
Its wild watching your muscle gain progression over the years
Sheldon is juiced up 💀

Okay thanks for the info and advice!! Definitely gonna try this on Friday Night
His back is elite!
Fast twitch growth happens rapidly if the movement is done properly! Awesome advice 💯❤️👊
Ive been training like this for years, it really helps power!
Love your videos
That back looks like it was carved precisely. Respect, bro❤
So lean and jacked. 💪

I always feel explosive pull ups more in my arms. Is there something I’m doing wrong or is this normal?
Do them without using your thumbs, is easier to feel the lats if you grip the bar like that
@@justanotherself3916 I got this notification while in the gym. Pump is crazy. Thanks 🙏 😁
@@Doopyy hahah great man happy to read that, thank you for letting me know that it worked, hope you had a great work out
Can u guys stop being that kind, I’m feeling water in my eyes
Thank you it worked for me ❤ @@justanotherself3916
Yes he is living proof. 👍
this is that healthy type of muscle that comes to its glory when you start exerting yourselves
You have leveled up! You look crazy in this short :0

I did one randomly once 🤷♂️
This man like michealangelo but sculpturing his own body
Thanks man
Great advice 👏
He's obviously pulling with his elbows! Beautiful technique.
Beyond impressive
These pull ups are crazy
I’ve gone back to my old love of kettlebells, no my progression on calisthenics is out the roof without the injuries.
Thank you

Just did my first muscle up two days ago!
Gotta try this on my next workout. I'm rushing to do the muscle-up😅
Still doing mine at 58. Rnd 600 weekly greatest exercise ever.
"Don't be flailing like a fish"
"Juicy stretch reflex" is all I needed to hear today. Thank you for that❤
FREAK 🗣️🗣️‼️‼️
Do you know what he meant by that? Can you please explain it to me? Does he mean I should stretch between sets? What juicy stretch reflex?

I explained that in the simplest way but if you want a more in-depth answer feel free to ask 👍🏾

He has muscles I didn’t know existed
What does your diet look like? Do you eat whatever? Do you track calories?Do you Eat healthy
Amazing strength
I always could do 15-20 without even trying, but never a muscle up.
Will start trying now
dude with the baki back
I will try

Bro s got such strong developed back , he might just be able to carry me n my bois to a win on war zone .
I'd love to be able to do that....
Thanks for this, i am one of guys that can do lot of reg pullups and dips but cant get the middle part
That person is literally me
Hello, great form.
how many times a week do you train?
How can I improve my pull up form?
Okay I'm weak. I get it.

Genuinely thought you were cgi at first
Lovely
So far i can pull to upper stomach at most and can do a muscle up with a decent amount of momentum
In my opinion, if you can do a waist high pull up, then you should be able to do a muscle up. You just need to shift your hands forward and complete the dip motion.
would be nice to demonstrate pull up
Form and control.
Interesting I wonder if you have a video that specifically shows the training steps to reach muscle ups. I can do 6 pull ups fine in a row. Sometimes I do 100 focusing on fatiguing, that’s with a band for assistance and lots of 10s breaks lol. I’d love to get muscle ups mastered :)
I am defo that person he's talking about
To all the kids wondering how a peak natural physique looks - this is it.
Wtf lol... Daniel surrounded by OnlyFan creators
What?
Do explosive weighted pullups u will fly after few weeks
If I’m pulling up to waist height im calling that a muscle up lol
I've also heard that explosiveness is good for strength building elsewhere recently. How is it squared with the alleged benefits of slow eccentrics? Explosive concentrics only?
Step one, get lean af
I would do the same reps on the moon😂
What is considered plenty of rest? 2-3min or 3-5min 5+?
I’m hovering around maintenance calories just now following a 12 week diet. In your opinion, is that the optimal time to improve pulling strength or would a calorie surplus be necessary?
I’m pretty sure a calorie surplus would just make me heavier and make these movements harder 🤔
Would bands help with this when starting to fatigue to get a few extra reps or sumoly stop, rest, reset and go again?
How do I incorporate this workout into my pull day without flaming out? If I train muscle ups, I can't do the rest of my exercises
If i wanna touch my chest on the pull up should i do isometrics like hold as long as i can? Or just more pull ups in general or combination?
So how do we do high pull ups?😅
First with bands? Or just try?
Will lat pull downs to this low help?
I'm great then rn ❤🎉
Bro's funny
Not me doing 70 pound pull-ups and still not being able to muscle up lol. The explosive pull-ups are fun though, it’s kinda like arm pylometrics in a way
I'm exactly that person who does 15 pull-ups but can't muscle-up...
💪✌️💪
My pull up bar its in my basement so if try higher pull ups I would hit my head on the ceiling
Bots are going crazy for this
I can do 13 full strict pull-ups but can’t even get close to a muscle up 😪
Is the false grip a necessity for straight bar muscle ups?
They say the route to your first strict muscle up is faster with false grips because when you get high enough, you dont have to rotate the grips to do the dips.
I can strict muscle up and I can say that it's not necessary, but it can help a lot. The real necessity is to have your knuckles facing the sky when gripping, don't have a hook grip
@@aloci3370 how did you train to get to that point?
What do you when the gym ceiling isnt high enough to do chest to bar pullups
Cut hole
Its jucy alright
The point of weakness for beginners who can do 15 pullups is technique
😂 I'm that person smh.
I am that guy who does 15 pull-ups and can’t muscle up
50% momentum.
I’ve been doing pull-ups all my old ass life. Never have I pulled to my friggin waist WTF👎🏻💪
Most muscle dudes can’t do multiple pull ups. Muscle ups don’t necessarily build physic, but pull ups do.
I am that person😢
