Definitely nailed it with the conclusion - if you want to put in the time and effort to learn and prepare for it correctly then definitely worthwhile. For me it was all about a goal to reach. Progression in calisthenics can be tedious so having a skill to learn helps with motivation. I love the process and path of learning maybe even more than the outcome, so skills like the muscle up are perfect for this.
This must have taken a considerable amount of time and effort, watched the whole thing and it was all very well done and informative. Can't wait for more videos, keep it up man!.
somehow the algorithm led me to your channel and i'm amazed you don't have more subs. definitely the best video i've seen on the subject of muscle ups. i developed my strict ring muscle up to where i can do working sets of 5-6 reps on it and it's very intense on the elbows. seems useful as a way to condition the elbows for eventually training the iron cross.
man you are 1 of 3 or 4 youtubers i follow with this kinda content, nice and refined information about calisthenics or fitness in general backed up in science, damn sir thanks and keep it fckng up man i fckng need more videos!
Already told you: your channel is a bright example of "reasoning about", compared to "I am a superhero and don't give explanations". This is even more valuable because of your age, while your colleagues often show enthusiasm without foundations. Just a question: where you from?
Nice video, I think James will be happy to see this sort of videos. I personally love the Ring muscle up. Love the way it feels, brought me a hugh amount of self confidence aswell. And lets be real, if you perform it in a commercial gym, everyone, Including the big weight boys, is wachting you while absolutely beasting. Keep up the good work, subbed!
Haha definitely, muscle up is a game changer in this regard. You get automatic respect level up :D thank you for positive word and subscribtion. Means a loot to me especially during this initial phase of the channel.
Excellent video - very well researched, honest, and informative without any extraneous bs. I don't hit the subscribe button often but had to do it after watching this video. Best of luck with your channel, cheering for you from Boston!
Haha i think most expected it, but lets be real this is an answer in most cases. Especially if we want to get deeper in the subject. Thank you for positive words ;)
bro kip it up i like the content on this than any other fitness channel. this is the first time of me subscribing to a channel after watching the first video, in this case i watched the front lever video at first and subscribe immediately.
Very good video. I got injured a year and a half ago by doing muscle ups when I wasn't ready to do them properly. I got tendonitis on my wrist that made it unable to move for 10 days and then, unable to hold basic positions. I also experienced very weird pain by doing very bad form muscle up (kipping but no chicken wing) in my arms. It felt like my tendons has been stressed too much and the long pain (lasting more than an hour after the workout) provoked nausea. That is just to tell people that you are right, don't mess with muscle up. I would recommend to not even perform them until you have the strength to do them in strict form (meaning that you need a good pulling strength) Clearly, the muscle up is just an ego booster just as you said it in the video. As I am now working on static skill, I don't even do muscle up anymore. Don't rush progression. Again, very informative video and great content.
Thank you for proving one of important points. I think that most people wont really benefit that as much, you are right. We gotta start treating this moves as party tricks - and one of next projects of mine will actualy adress this problem in some way. Thank you for the comment and the support. Highly appreciated.
All I know is: The Muscle Up is NOT just a Party Trick that just needs the right technique I was more than strong enough to do the muscle up by resistance training standards But it took weeks of specific training for the ring muscle up to actually get just 1 clean rep Training the transition is very important and proves that it’s not just a simple trick
Yes, muscle ups are not just a flashy trick, I'm doing it in every single one of my training sessions when I can, and I've grown considerably strong. My ring muscle ups and strict muscle ups have improved too. And overall my pulling and pushing strength has increased significally. Muscle ups are king.
After my competitive swimming career I will slowly build up the prerequisites to do the muscle up and after that start with band assisted muscle ups until I get 5-6 clean reps before I attempt a normal shoulder width grip.
Frinksmovement TV actually I started training for a front lever to improve my swimming last week and came across your channel yesterday. After a warmup I do 1 leg straight, 1 leg tucked front levers, holds on tuck front levers, hanging L-sit holds and hanging tuck holds. My best weighted pull up set was 5x bodyweight (85kg) + 25kg but that was after swimming 6,5km.
You do muscle ups to train your pulling strength or to impress others, I do muscle ups because the parallel bars at the park were too wide for me so I could only do straight bar dips atop of the pullup bar. We are not the same Jokes aside, great video and as everyone has pointed out, your channel is severely underrated.
Great video. Training for Muscle Up gave me golfer’s elbow, should have increased my training volume much slower than I did and stopped training when I first started feeling pain…
i just pulled off my first calishenic skill after 2 mounths of training which is the L sit 2 days ago i hope to get the mussle up next but man i suck at pull ups i can do only 8
Really excellent video!! I started training on rings about 6 months ago. When I finally got my first strict ring muscle up, I immediately made the mistake of overtraining it for a couple weeks. I developed some elbow pain and decided to drop the movement for now. Thankfully my elbows are feeling great now, because I do lots of bicep curls/wrist and finger extension work for the sake of prehab after my workouts. I will wait until my weighted pull ups and dips on the rings are at about 40% before I start regularly doing muscle ups again. Right now I’m at 25% body weight added for those. Thank you again for the really great video, your content is high quality and I hope you’re feeling healthy!
Dear all, I got a question, after I watched the whole video( thanks btw for the incredible and valuable content) it raised me a couple of doubts... The video itself explain perfectly all the pro and cons of the movement itself. My question is considering that there are many videos on RUclips, which most of the time they even contradict each other: What is the best progression suggest to learn a clean explosive muscle up at the bar? I'm currently able to do quite a considerable amount of pull ups but no idea where and how to start to apporach the learning of this skill. What do you ultimately suggest? Thanks a lot in advance
Hey! Thank you for the comment. I highly recommend starting with once a week heavy weighted pullups and second day (or two days) high pullups. If you can already do many pullups - your goal is to increase weight on weighted and increase height on high pullups - eventually you will hit the muscle up this way 👍
@@FrinksmovementTV Hi thanks a lot once more for the video first and secondly for the prompt reply. I'll definitely start to do so then, I unfortunately have only a 10kg vest and I was able to do probably around 6x6 with it, now I will start with high push ups then. Thanks a lot once more hopefully in this 2021 I'd manage to learn one with a clean form!
@@LittlePatter8 I would say get your pull ups to 40KG at the same BW and start slowly training with bands - do couple of singles with quite strong band for a month and only strive to improve form. Afterwards start working with less intense bands
First of all congrats to your job! 2. On 24 dec. I made 100 Muscle-ups, my new PR (after 70, last year) in less then 50minutes. I was 100% that I will have pains in my body several days, but.. surprise.. nothing ! :D A lil bit I felt in my forearm and my back a light muscle cramps. The last 5 Muscle Ups I made very hard, but 95 were easy. 19x5 sets. 3. WHat I wanna say is that I have 190cm and 91kgs, Muscle-Ups are OK, but I cannot do a front lever, back lever, planche.. I am working on them but it feels for me that are impossible movements. What do you say, Can I make them once in my life? :)) I am learning them since several years..OK not very focused on them, bcz I make Triathlon and Crossfit too, but always it feels like something impossible. Which kind of trainings do you recommend for my body? weighted movements, or isometric trainings? (My legs are "big" bcz of cycling )
You got to specialize in the movements and maybe change your training because if you did 100 muscle ups ( with not a lot of kipping ) in 1 hour I really believe that you have the strength to do almost every pull movement. Planche and push movements are other history, but the same you gotta start training around the moves.

Fun fact: Muscle up is translated in Finnish as "palomiespunnerrus" which means "firefighter's push up"
No way! Seriously? That makes sense!! haha thank you for sharing 🙏🏻
It's not translated in english

I had (and have a little) costochondritis while training muscle up on rings. But didn´t know the name of the pain, now I know it☺
