How is your muscle up progressing?

Got my first "chicken wing" muscle up last summer. Didn't try again until about 2 months ago. Failed but unfazed. Worked for a couple weeks and boom! Unlocked! Now looking for reps.
Also I saw that face when you got it. No other feeling like it, guy. 😊

[@DevinsCalisthenics]

That's awesome buddy! Yeah it's such a great feeling to accomplish something that seems impossible at first. Congrats on getting yours back! Try 1 or 2 every min on the minute to increase reps. That seems to be the most effective for a lot of people.

@@DevinsCalisthenics Thanks. Today is a calisthenics day, which i've been having more of since I've been working on healing a running injury.

[@DevinsCalisthenics]

@@goes_by_santi3444 what type of running injury? IT band?

[@goes_by_santi3444]

Over worked tendon in the hip. A bit of neglect in my strength training combined with quite a bit of over zealous long runs. I was kind of asking for it.

[@DevinsCalisthenics]

@goes_by_santi3444 I see! Tendons can take a long to heal, especially wrist flexors. Good luck with the healing process! 😁

How old are you man? Looking good tho

[@DevinsCalisthenics]

Thanks buddy, I am 43.

First try unassisted. You drain your CNS with assisted ones.

[@DevinsCalisthenics]

Yeah maybe I'm doing too many assisted ones, I'll give it a try.
