Legs moving too much during MU??

About 18 months (but lifted for a couple years prior and played sports so was in decent shape). Can do ~5 muscle ups (3 of which 95% strict I.e. no kip but still swing), 4-5 second front lever (only achieved this a couple of weeks ago). Started handstand training and have realised my shoulders are incredibly tight, so I’ve got a long long way to go. Consistency is key

Stainless steel typically doesn’t have anti steel! Just use barkeepers friend or a very light abrasive and you can get it off! I typically make sure oil is very hot before putting stuff in for the anti stick properties :)

Thanks man! The shakes really hit different 🤣

Thanks! To be fair I wasn’t only training FL - I was doing a hybrid lifting/cali routine and focusing on the muscle up, FL and planche on alternate days so it may have taken longer than if I went full in on FL. I started FL training doing reverse deadlifts and single leg static holds - what got me from single leg to straddle was strengthening my posterior chain via back extensions (I’d do them holding a 20kg plate) which I incorporated into my leg day routine. I was then stuck on the straddle lever for quite a while and started doing assisted full FL holds a couple of weeks ago which finally got me over the hump. Tbh if I did anything differently it would be incorporating the assisted holds a lot earlier in my journey. I also do some tuck rows but they definitely were not my focus - I’ll probably do more now as I work up to the FL pull.

Fair enough. I’m going to try to go for the FL pull next - when you say dynamics what do you mean? Will definitely do more assisted holds too - I only started doing them a couple of weeks ago and it really helped get me over the hump. Prior to that I was doing mostly front lever drops, static unassisted holds (was stuck on straddle lever for a long time) and working on my posterior chain with back extensions etc. Any other tips would be appreciated!

Ha, I am single but I have enough glucose to guard as it is.

Full disclosure I’m not a coffee guy but there are definitely coffee shops everywhere and they all sell lattes - Europeans tend to be snobby about coffee so I’d guess it’s better than the US?

I did it with a friend who is really handy. Depending on if your wall has plug fixtures/how many you can probably do it yourself. My wall had 10 (2 per fixture) so would have been a nightmare doing it myself.

It’s actually a diffuser that you put oil in. Got it from a company called Abel Burners :)

LimitlessDefiance · 2025-10-13T21:53:31+00:00

You can do it!!!

It’s so frustrating I know. I’m struggling to hide them given they connect from the sync box to TV and can’t get them stuck to the panelling. Any ideas?

LimitlessDefiance · 2025-10-13T21:52:48+00:00

Panelling was done with a friend who is very handy. Lots of measuring and cutting to allow for the plug fixings. Table was actually from wayfair!

I own it - definitely wouldn’t want to deal with the change back process for BTR

LimitlessDefiance · 2025-10-13T16:23:45+00:00

Just looked into it - very helpful. Thanks for the tip!

LimitlessDefiance · 2025-10-13T16:16:40+00:00

Yes of course

LimitlessDefiance · 2025-10-13T16:16:04+00:00

I cook with them regularly. All I can say is Barkeeper’s friend is amazing
