      Been doing muscle ups for awhile, although i've been struggling to do them consecutively. For whatever reason i just can't manage to do more than one even though i've had occassions where i have done 2 or 3 in a row. I know i have the strength so i've just been focusing really hard on what i can do mechanically to be able to do reps and sets of muscle ups. I agree with both of you guys, most people never feel what it's like to be ABOVE the bar, but once you finally manage your first muscle up you feel so incredible and just want to throw your hands in the air... except you can't 😂 It really does make you feel like you're on top of the world.
      Anyway i'm still on my muscle up journey to figuring out how to do them consecutively hence why i found this video. That said i've not found a single video with tips on how to link together muscle ups, only videos on how to do them in general. So my journey continues to figure out the secret to consecutive muscle ups

      @@GeekClimber Remember this is a move that is part skill based and part power to bodyweight based. As a climber you have already honed your strength to master YOUR bodyweight. Your power to bodyweight ratio is excellent. What you can achieve on a wall is well beyond what an average Joe could achieve. Walk down the street an look at the average dude. I am in my late 40s 90kg and 6 ft 3 inches, I could barely do a pull up a year ago, I have had to train my ass off to hit 15. You can easily do 10. You have super low body fat and you have great pulling power. However credit to you for hitting your goal, it wasn't easy and the pain was real. Big respect.

    You're such an inspiration. I've been doing a lot of bodyweight training recently, and being able to do 30 pull-ups but no muscle up was really making me rethink how strong I actually was. I've never watched any of your videos before, but seeing you overcome this obstacle while wanting to give up made me smile.

      @@gabriellu5463 6 months ago I was mainly just training solely muscle endurance, so I was able to do 30 pullups in full range of motion and a lot of high rep sets. I didn't really know the technique for the muscle-up and I wasn't really lifting anything heavy or doing anything explosive. I've started doing weighted chin-ups since then, but if you're wondering, I was finally able to do my first muscle up about a month after I wrote this comment.

      I do believe it really is a getting a feel for it. Today I walked into the gym did five of them! Unfortunately my gym does not have a straight bar so I'm using a slightly angled variation which I learned is dangerous. So I will be heading to Home Depot to build my own bar in the backyard. I will continue to train this until I can perform at least 10 strict muscle ups. After that,being able to hang on a 10-foot rim @ 5'9" and 500 lb deadlift. Still got a lot of work to do but setting goals and accomplishing them, it's probably one of the best feelings you can give yourself. keep up the great work man!! looking forward to the progress

      I never had any problem with strength but would never go above chest.. Thenx tells to do a lat pull down that was not working for me. I was also making the 2 mistakes:
      Thumb on top of bar and
      Knees not touching the chest, i was trying to start the knees towards an LSit but today i changed that..
      At first did the chicken wing and after a few more tries cwas able to do 1 muscleup with good form(not the best)
      Was stuck on it for so long. Thanks mate.

The only 2 things you have to do to make muscle ups easier is try to do pull ups as high as possible and do dips on 1 bar (like when you're supposed to push up from the bar), talking from personal experience.

Do as many as you can every day until you can hit 5 consecutive chin-ups. After that, start doing pull-ups. And again, do as many as you can each day. Your back and arm strength will increase no doubt!

      Rings require better form and thus you can't kip, they are easier than bar muscle ups but you can't cheat on them like by excessive kip on the bar MU so you actually have to be strong enough to do them. This is why I always recommend people to learn it that way first.
