  • Inspired by ‪@GeekClimber‬ I took on the challenge of learning the slow bar muscle up while I had an ankle injury. I had already trained the explosive bar muscle up the previous year so I figured the slow muscle-up wouldn't be too hard... but it presented some hard challenges. Hopefully, this can give you some tips and advice on how to do the slow bar muscle-up.

    Putting his injury downtime to good use, Josh takes on the slow bar muscle-up. We've all know Josh has been training the muscle-up over the last year and even with that, he does not let himself off the hook and make this journey to the slow bar muscle up easy. He keeps challenging himself and developing his craft. He doesn't just want to do one - he wants to do it right. What exercise could you challenge yourself on? Can you up the ante?

      @@Strengthside also maybe try a bunny hop on the bike, the ability to grab the back wheel with flat pedals means you have to create outward force between handlebar and pedals like you would grab a bowl. Its a fast and precise movement. I think will be quite some fun.

Now watching you trying to master the slow pull-up , while injured wearing an ankle bracelet, let me just tell you, you’ve motivated this 60 year old man to keep on, no excuses.

    Your videos keep getting better. Sure, the same old topics; muscle ups are probably the most tutorialized skill on RUclips yet you've manage to distill the major sticking point. My dilemma has to do w/the bent arm stand; I get it for a while then I lose it. My problem seems to be I don't lean far enough over my hands; as i mentioned, sometimes I have good days and my body gets it but other days I revert back to my old bad form. It's frustrating. I guess my real question is how to solidify new/good habits in terms of technique?

Will now concentrate on nailing the false grip over consistent hanging and give it another go. Like you its learning new skills that keep me motivated and that's at 61yrs old. Keep up the great content bro!!

  • @robipindric7654
    @robipindric7654 2 года назад

    Reason why you needed to work on your mobility is because you have been taught the false grip a bit....well i wouldn't say wrong but a bit limiting.
    Fingers shouldn't grip the bar during false grip,no matter if bar is thin or thick. What you need to make sure is that your starting position for your palm on the bar is the same as ending position. You can achieve this by hanging on your meaty part of the palm,and then making a hook with your fingers that don't grip the bar,but rather only secure you in case you slip down. Pinky finger plays huge rule here.

      I think bar is a bit harder for the false grip. But dips on a bar are extremmely easy... compared to dips on rings. So both have their challenges... I think ring muscle up is super useful because then you can learn how to do things on top of the rings such as front roll and shoulder stand.
