However, I still wasn't able to do a muscle up, which for me is the coolest exercise out there and has been my goal. Will try to apply the cues you gave in this video. Thanks, man. Cheers!

    For the love... please use the weight belt correctly. The way you've got it makes it likely to slide down your hips.
    Instead, put the belt on and bring the chain directly across your belly and through the loop on the other side of the belt, then go down through the weights, and back up to the starting side of the chain. The chain forms a full triangle, not a "V".
    Great video, though.
