Good on ya for taking this challenge on. This is such a tough one and took me forever, so I know the pain. Don’t rush it and you’ll get there eventually. Cheers mate!
3:27 that was probably one of the most crucial steps using the banded muscle ups to get some confidence and early wins in first. Tim Ferriss talks about that in the 4-hour chef which is all about learning skills quickly. It's crucial to get some early wins so motivation stays high and you have the confidence to push yourself and keep on practicing.
Honestly, I just found this channel and I really love the idea of what he's doing. He basically makes videos about stuff most of us have on our bucket lists and by the time I finish watching his videos I just want to get up and start doing them. Keep up with the good stuff Max.
When you were having trouble with your elbow, maybe you could've added some visualization into your practice to rest your body while still practicing. You've probably heard of the studies that talk about how visualizing the movement and seeing yourself succeed also builds your neural pathways and get better at it. Could've been interesting to see how that might've improved your confidence further or impacted your skill overall.
What I like about your videos is that your goals and deeds seem a lot more realistic than what I see in other channels. Hope you can do the muscle-ups one day!
It's great to see that you are experiencing these challenges. Sometimes training plans have to fail multiple times until you reach your end goal. To me, your journey is more inspirational than watching someone succeed in 10 minutes. Thanks for sharing!
Great effort learning the muscle up, Max! It’s definitely not easy to learn the coordinations. If you ever decided to come back to learn it, I have two suggestions for you. 1. Shorten the grip to shoulder width. 2. Recovery, recovery, recovery! Personally I find swimming, self massaging, and doing mobility exercises effective. Good luck my friend!!
Wise words! I really feel recovery let me down this month. I'll take some time off to fully heal my elbow and hopefully back at it in a month or so with a smarter approach!
You are so inspirational. I love the way you have taken control of your life and you approach these challenges with cleverness and humility and determination.
I've never been so nervous to type a comment before. I must have typed and deleted 15 paragraphs 😅 Your desire to do better, be better and learn new things is SO attractive. I don't think a better human being exists 😭❤
In my muscle up journey i also started with the band, but i found the band was worse for my technique as it took out the hip kick and proper swing needed for a kipping muscle up. Today i can string muscle ups together like nothing and have only done maybe 1 banded muscle up. What i saw in the vid is you pulled up like a pull up more than a muscle up pull and you had zero hip movement as you used the band to cover this. You definitely have the strength and its simply your technique that is out. Easy to say though and everyone is different.
I think doing a muscle-up is not easy i'm working on doing 10 pull ups and i can do 7 right now. However, videos like yours give people like me inspiration to do the muscle-up. You should still train for the muscle up as i think it will take a bit more time perhaps a few more months depending on how you are committed to learning it. DON'T GIVE UP!!!
Great job! I struggled with muscle ups for a very long time. I think it's 30% power and 70% confidence and technique. It took me building up the strength for a slow muscle up with a false grip before I went back and started kipping. Now I don't even really understand why I couldn't do it earlier. You should do ring muscle ups! They're easier than bar muscle ups, in my opinion.
I learned how to muscle up yesterday, and the best way is to practice explosive pull ups and dips. Then definitely watch videos of people doing it, and it will come pretty soon
Rewatch King Frater’s muscle up video a few times. The line-and-circle technique he talks about in the video is all that you need to do your first kipping muscle up. Your problem seems to be the timing of the pulling up of your knees. With the line-and-circle technique you know exactly when to pull your knees up. When your feet are on top of the circle, and right before you swing back, you need to pull up your knees. I used this line-and-circle technique to get my first kipping muscle up in 10 workouts over 22 days. I have a video of it on my channel.
Your elbow pain comes from you curling your wrist when you want to come up, because you're trying to cheat the movement, it puts a lot of strain in your forearms, instead of letting go of the bar for a split second, then turning the wrist, and completing the muscle up. Go watch Athlean-X's video on elbow pain, he talks about this and he's a physiotherapist.
Good try man. I recommend if you try this again.... I noticed you pull to your chest, but the muscle up is actually pulling to your hips/belly button. You should practice pull ups until you can do 10 getting the bottom of your sternum as close to the bar as possible, and then practice straight arm pulls until your head is inline or above the bar at the top. Then combing those two pull up variations, with correct grip position (false grip, or rolling your wrists forward during the pull) you should come up on top quite easily. P.S. 10 is the minimum with body weight alone. You could try training weighted pull ups for sets of 4-6 with long rests between. This training method will develop more speed and power if you do it properly. Good luck! Keep it up.
Really appreciate this video Max! I’ve just started my journey with the muscle ups. Hopefully I can complete them within 30 days! Keep up the good content 👍🏽
I'm in the process of rebranding my channel and I've started to do monthly challenges. I've been encouraged by your content and it would be awesome to connect at some point. I'm curious if you do any monthly challenges that you end up continuing for a long period of time because of the benefits? The two challenges I did last month improved my life and I'm continuing them this month with added new ones.
Very entertaining and inspiring at the same time! I tried a muscle up challenge 3 months ago inspired by Mike Boyd, with the goal to be able to perform at least 1 by the end of 2019. Unfortunately I got a lot of stress by my workplace, and couldnt train properly, however I managed to lose some weight and now am able to do at least 10 pull ups in a row. Definately gonna restart the challenge in 2020. Now, 10 pulls up as you also said in the video, might actually be still not enough strength. Chris Heria was once recommending 15 pulls up, which can be the little edge you and myself actually need to succeed further in the challenge. I have very similar physique to yours and try to improve my strength further to 15 pulls ups. I think if you manage 15, you can definately eliminate the factor strength our of the equation why it might not work. Other than that, 30days is quite challenging - Geek Climber did it in less than 30 days, but Mike Boyd needed 3 months to perform 5. I am sure, with more time and less injuries, you can make it. Good luck!
One thing that helped me was adrenaline. I could do one muscle up, but never more than one, always starting pretty cold. Then one day I started a hard workout that eventually had 4 muscle ups in a set. Nailed all 4 much to my surprise.
the pre-crossfit-swing is really useless for a muscle up . I mean it s make it really too easy ( 2:00 ) But anyway you never sign for the strict / strict kipping one
Hmm, also *watched* all of those vids and maybe more, so I'm an expert now ;-). I think doing those crossfit kipping musle ups is not something you should start with. Plus, I didn't see you doing any negatives, which is very clear when I look at your banded successes: you just let yourself drop down. Try putting a (sturdy, tall) box in front of the bar and do a jumping muscle up and then focus on a slow negative movement while going down. My tendons also hurt pretty bad, so I think the false/overgrip technique (that 'geek climber' also uses), will benefit for eliminating those pains.
I don't think negatives help much. It's pretty much just doing an impossible dip. It's a lot more of triceps than the pulling muscles. Also the false grip MU is a different exercise from the muscle up.
Man trust me I’ve had tendinitis and the best thing to do is to work your forearms, because tendinitis is literally an imbalance in the muscle, so what you do is train your forearms doing inverted rows, what people call Australian pull ups, and doing them underhand and overhand switch the form every set, it helped me it went away and the pain is literally almost gone,
For me the band was helpfull but i don’t like it when you drop down and bounce in the band. I used to do slow negatives and explosive pull up. I learned the non-kipping muscle up. But i used (and somethimes still do when i feel tired) to swing alot and kick to an l-sit to counter balance going over the bar. I think 10 pull ups should be enough to learn it, have teached it to a friend who could do 10-15 pull ups and he did 7 muscle ups in a row the first time.. You also need to believe in yourself. I know it sounds cheesy but try to give it your all in that 5s your attempting it. Ps. Don’t pull up straight, pull up in a c-motion. Hope you get it one day !!
I also learned to muscle up. It took me 3 months up I don't have a pull up bar at home and I just trained like like once in a week. I did my first muscle up in Oktober and at the and of November I could already do five muscle ups. The problem is that I don't have a place to train, and on my pull up bar at home I can just do pull ups
To be honest i went there before as a 14 year old kid who train calisthenics. The problem that u cant do a muscle up yet because when u start to swing on top of the bar, at this post u should not keep your arms straight, u should slightly bent it, around 60 - 90%. I think you should be able to do a muscle up now, it is all come down to to your technique. U can do muscle up with black band, u can do a kipping muscle up.remember when u kick up or swing, dont bent your back to much ( not to be offend anyone, your coach teaches u a really bad technique for kipping muscle up. U should not bent your back that much (u should keep your back straight, but do tuck leg raise as explosive as u can when u feel like u going to fall back. U should swing a little bit, before pull ( not straight under the bar). With your current technique, you not going to get it, except your really strong and u likely to injure your lower back for sure.
Great challenges, Max! You could also create a challenge that you are doing on Challenge Achieved platform so that others could join you or track your progress in real-time.
Should've done a 4 week weight cut at the same time, with the end of week 4 being the rime where you lost the most weight would've kept most strength and would have been much lighter, probably gotten it with the lower body weight
Hello..one more challenging to do...Try learn how to beatbox effect "Lip roll" in 30 days..this one was a difficult..Need time..if you can do it in just 30 days,its very great!..normal people can do lip roll at least 2 months..Try this challenge if you want:)
I can teach you how to do a muscle-up in 30 days. Your trainer is teaching you the cross-fit muscle up and to me it seems like you're really struggling with the motion without the bands. I think you should have listened to Geek Climber's advice about not using bands. I will teach you how to do the calisthenics kipping motion one. I started calisthenics in late Feb of this year. I could only do 3 half rep pull-ups. By May I could do 10. I wanted a base of 20 pull ups before attempting muscle ups. By September I got to 15 and hit a plateau. I said screw this let me get the muscle up. I got it by the 2nd day, however, I still did not truly understand the motion. I could not consistently get the muscle up. A friend of mine suggested I jump into the muscle up and do it half range of motion. So basically jump into the bar and once you get to the farthest point forward, pull yourself up and bring you knees up at the same time. A tip of mine is to not even try and complete the muscle up, as you're injuring your elbow trying to lean over and push yourself up because you're not getting high enough. Just do half range of motion, kip and pull yourself up as high as you can. Record yourself to see how high you get. Once you know you're getting high enough, literally all you have to do is lean over and flick your wrist. You're also looking to make a C
Hey, appreciate the thoughtful analysis. I think I’m going to hold off for 1-2 months to let my elbow fully heal and avoid aggrevation. But definitely keen at that point to give it a go again. Congrats on your progress! 👏🏻
Such a great tip man. Ive got one question though, for someone who does 6 to 8 pull ups. Should i keep on training negatives or do multiple sets to increase my reps?
Rain vary your training I did pavels pull up program. Personally I think multiple sets and volume gets higher pull ups. Btw muscle up has more to do with explosive high pull ups as high as u can than pull up volume. If you’re looking to learn the muscle up do pull ups as high as you can for less reps
@@jimjones2287 well my goal is to kind of get more pull ups now. Eventhough the muscle up is my favorite skill to learn. I only have 6 months now. I started going to a gym 1 week ago but did calisthenics for 3 months. For the past week i only did 5x5 negative pull ups 3 times a week. But im kind of struggling to know wether i should have multiple pull up sets and with low reps or just keep doing the 5x5
@@Rain-bk7zm Like I said, personally what I did was Pavel's method. I increased 1 pull up a week doing this. My max was around 6 in april of this year. And I got to 10 by the beginning of May. I have access to a pull up all day though, so I am able to spread those pull ups out. If you don't have as much time. You said you can do 8 pull ups, so I would do something like 5 sets of 6 pull ups with 5 min rest between each. Do this at least 3 times a week, next week do 5 sets of 7, and keep adding 1 pull up. This isn't super effective though. From what I've researched though, just getting the volume in will get you higher pull-ups.
No worries about failing. You're putting out some great content really quickly! (although you're a bit later than usual :p) Have you considered taking cold showers for your elbows? For me that works really well to get some flow into them.
Apreciate the efforts you are putting in , very helpful and motivating,I wish to pass the video on my Chinese friends. the part 3 of this interview out? I hope to have the accurate Chinese Translation.
I've got the muscle up in almost 15 days, but sometimes (like now) it become too hard for me, 4 months later and nothing, i can do 3-4 muscle ups in a row but it's still hard and not easy like 10 pull ups in a row
When you know how to ride a bike even after stopping for a long time you still can ride well, muscle is the same, it demands strength yes but not that much.
Dude. Don't give up. No disrespect but I feel like your training was incorrect. It took me 2 months to learn muscle up. I had to clean up my pull ups, L shape leg raises and Australian pull ups and I would do negative muscle ups until I couldn't do it. I believe you can do it.
Man why the hell is your body soooo freaking far from the bar, it gets 10x harder. Swing with your elbows flexed and try to get your chest closer to the bar. I’ll bet a 100 bucks that you had the strenght at the start.
They made you do muscle ups before going on ninja warrior? That’s such an odd benchmark, there is very little translation for a muscle up into a ninja course
In my opinion(i can do 5 clean muscle ups) the technique that your trainer used to teach you is pretty useless and bad.I saw you could do muscle up the right way with the bands and if you stopped hearing your trainer your muscle up was gonna be cleaner(perfect form) and you were gonna learn it in a month.I mean that you learned 2 techniques for the muscle up-the kipping one and the clean one.If you decided to go for 1 of those techniques you would of succeed.
Why did he get tips from a crossfitter? Tips from a properly trained calisthenics athlete would have helped him so much more. That kipping technique is horrible for beginners and super risky injury wise. If he had gone with a proper "kipping" technique rather than the floppy fish from crossfit he would of gotten this in no time. If you don't believe me just look at Mike Boyd's video.
Good on ya for taking this challenge on. This is such a tough one and took me forever, so I know the pain. Don’t rush it and you’ll get there eventually. Cheers mate!
Thanks guys 👏🏻 I’ll take December to rest my elbow and give it some more attempts Jan. Would love that feeling of being over the bar 🔥
You can do it man keep up the hard work I got 2 muscle ups today keep It up
Jesuuus, why the hell u chose a crossfit
I was hoping he would go to a calisthenics trainer
This guy is super underrated wth

Great effort learning the muscle up, Max! It’s definitely not easy to learn the coordinations. If you ever decided to come back to learn it, I have two suggestions for you. 1. Shorten the grip to shoulder width. 2. Recovery, recovery, recovery! Personally I find swimming, self massaging, and doing mobility exercises effective. Good luck my friend!!
Wise words! I really feel recovery let me down this month. I'll take some time off to fully heal my elbow and hopefully back at it in a month or so with a smarter approach!
You are so inspirational. I love the way you have taken control of your life and you approach these challenges with cleverness and humility and determination.

I've tried to muscle up for a while too, the closest I've gotten is a chicken wing up. Good luck man
Thanks Leo! Once the elbow heals I might try again :)
Keep it up...
I think you need more work on high pull-ups and straight bar dips (both strength and technique), for me they help a lot. Cheers...
I learned how to muscle up yesterday, and the best way is to practice explosive pull ups and dips. Then definitely watch videos of people doing it, and it will come pretty soon

thanks for being honest on how hard this movement really is - most of the other videos on YT makes it looks so easy - and it's not!
You should work on explosive pull up, because you have to work om explosivity and muscle up with loopband is usefull only to learn the tecnique
THanks Nicolo.

Should've done a 4 week weight cut at the same time, with the end of week 4 being the rime where you lost the most weight would've kept most strength and would have been much lighter, probably gotten it with the lower body weight

I started going to a gym 1 week ago but did calisthenics for 3 months. For the past week i only did 5x5 negative pull ups 3 times a week. But im kind of struggling to know wether i should have multiple pull up sets and with low reps or just keep doing the 5x5
@@Rain-bk7zm Like I said, personally what I did was Pavel's method. I increased 1 pull up a week doing this. My max was around 6 in april of this year. And I got to 10 by the beginning of May. I have access to a pull up all day though, so I am able to spread those pull ups out. If you don't have as much time. You said you can do 8 pull ups, so I would do something like 5 sets of 6 pull ups with 5 min rest between each. Do this at least 3 times a week, next week do 5 sets of 7, and keep adding 1 pull up. This isn't super effective though. From what I've researched though, just getting the volume in will get you higher pull-ups.
Awesome bro 💪
Miss your challenges Max! How about vlogging in between?
very positive attitute. The world is not perfect and nor the people.
try to have your hands closer too your body, you were almost doing a wide MU so having our hands closer could help... good luck and dont stop
Good effort mate. Next 30 day challenge see if you can get a W vs me in 2k
1 month to learn beatboxing would be cool
Leon1472 Oooo I agree!!
Rubik's Cube Challenge!!
No worries about failing. You're putting out some great content really quickly! (although you're a bit later than usual :p) Have you considered taking cold showers for your elbows? For me that works really well to get some flow into them.
Apreciate the efforts you are putting in , very helpful and motivating,I wish to pass the video on my Chinese friends. the part 3 of this interview out? I hope to have the accurate Chinese Translation.

I've got the muscle up in almost 15 days, but sometimes (like now) it become too hard for me, 4 months later and nothing, i can do 3-4 muscle ups in a row but it's still hard and not easy like 10 pull ups in a row
When you know how to ride a bike even after stopping for a long time you still can ride well, muscle is the same, it demands strength yes but not that much.
Well even being able to do 10 pull ups without training is impresive
Yes you can easy
I did it in 1 day...but of course m strong n fit...
Hi love your vids
Hey, thank you :)
Hi max, love your videos
Thank you 🙌
What’s the entire physical test for ninja warrior
Come back to it in 3-6 months mate. You'll get there eventually.
Thanks Mr. Mount.
if you want a muscle up you gotta strengthen your basics --- pull ups
U should just do pull ups with your legs straight or little bit ahead of your but still straight
It will help
Dude. Don't give up. No disrespect but I feel like your training was incorrect. It took me 2 months to learn muscle up. I had to clean up my pull ups, L shape leg raises and Australian pull ups and I would do negative muscle ups until I couldn't do it. I believe you can do it.
Looking forward to episode two?
Man why the hell is your body soooo freaking far from the bar, it gets 10x harder. Swing with your elbows flexed and try to get your chest closer to the bar. I’ll bet a 100 bucks that you had the strenght at the start.
Stop kipping .That is the worst thing for your body. Watch thenx videos for right technique.That is how I did my first.
Hi you have to train your dips
They made you do muscle ups before going on ninja warrior? That’s such an odd benchmark, there is very little translation for a muscle up into a ninja course
its been 6 months and im trying to learn it, but i failed, now i gave up.. so i start learning another skill (planche)
simo eqr l: good luck lol planche is waaaaay harder than muscle up fair warning!
Have you done a 30 day vegan challenge???
Doing a 10 week vegan transformation right now. 🔥
Learn to tailwhip on scooter
He doesn’t say happy learning anymore ):
Zack Spudking good pick up 🙏🏼
Also maybe check out my 1 year muscle up progression video :p
Thanks Marlon
In my opinion(i can do 5 clean muscle ups) the technique that your trainer used to teach you is pretty useless and bad.I saw you could do muscle up the right way with the bands and if you stopped hearing your trainer your muscle up was gonna be cleaner(perfect form) and you were gonna learn it in a month.I mean that you learned 2 techniques for the muscle up-the kipping one and the clean one.If you decided to go for 1 of those techniques you would of succeed.

Why did he get tips from a crossfitter? Tips from a properly trained calisthenics athlete would have helped him so much more. That kipping technique is horrible for beginners and super risky injury wise. If he had gone with a proper "kipping" technique rather than the floppy fish from crossfit he would of gotten this in no time. If you don't believe me just look at Mike Boyd's video.
You chose a cross fit trainer, .....lollll
Im 14 and i can do muscle up better
You need to lose some weight to get this muscle up.
🇮🇱❤️❤️🇮🇱🙏🏻
Your trainer doesn’t even know the right technique🤦🏾♂️ Do not swing like that!!
Another crossfit horror
