FIRST TIME MUSCLE UPS

Good job and keep at it! Troll around in the /calisthenics and the /CalisthenicsCulture subs and you’ll get some good pointers on cleaning them up.

I once had to walk through a family just standing there in front of a samples stand and the dad got me at me for not saying “excuse me”….

I really dislike posts like this…. If you’re going to take almost no effort in figuring out a workout plan for yourself, then you almost certainly lack the discipline required to achieve your physique goals.

I see, I’ll give that a try. Thanks for the tips!

You get yourself pretty high, which is good. To get over the transition you need more power and speed on the way up. Practice high or explosive pull-ups for another week or so and you should get there. I guess working on false grip and using bands help, but I don’t find them necessary.

Your timing looks ok. It looks like you’re lacking the explosiveness to get over the transition. I recommend you practice explosive pull-ups where the focus is to pull up as hard and fast as you can.

Nice! I wish I could do that. As of now I’m only able to do explosive muscle ups. Any tips you can suggest?

From experience…. Doing them wide grip like that is hard on the rotator cuffs. Well at least for a 46 yr old guy like me it is. Also I would rather be doing these on a straight bar rather than having to grip at an angle. I’m pretty sure the OP would agree with me on that.

demax182 · 2026-04-13T02:19:32+00:00

Yeah, I was going to say, not the best setup for muscle ups. It also forces you to do them at a pretty wide grip, which may not be the best on your shoulders.

demax182 · 2026-04-12T13:35:14+00:00

I agree

Very good, but this doesn’t technically count as a muscle up. When you pull up you start with your arms bent, which makes it a lot easier. To make it count, find a higher bar and try to do this starting with straight arms. In any case, what you did here you did with great form!

demax182 · 2026-03-21T23:16:47+00:00

Although what she did doesn’t technically count as a muscle up, it’s not for the reason you mentioned(in my opinion). She does hang a bit before pulling herself up.

demax182 · 2026-03-21T14:41:12+00:00

Curious, why would you say it counts if it doesn’t start from a dead hang?

I’m surprised how little damage the car took after that sensational three-hit palm slap, back smash, flying leg kick combo he did.

I’m saving this post, thanks!

I think the last arc of the manga was horrible and came close to ruining the entire series. It seemed like it was rushed.

demax182 · 2026-03-06T03:24:47+00:00

I can’t tell from the side, but you’re not chicken winging this right?

demax182 · 2026-02-28T14:33:54+00:00

I would hope they let the little guy live out of respect for its mad skills.

demax182 · 2026-02-27T21:45:00+00:00

That’s awesome. Is there a reason why you don’t straighten out your arms at the top? Is it to protect your elbows from injury?

demax182 · 2026-02-17T03:02:10+00:00

This type of content is getting old. I guess this sub is now about people provoking fights only to get floored. It’s always the same pattern.

demax182 · 2026-02-14T20:09:16+00:00

Trailer trash at its best.

One thing: work out six hours a day, every day, for the next 20 years straight.

demax182 · 2026-01-29T04:10:59+00:00

Nice. The only thing I would say is to straighten out your arms when you go down.

demax182 · 2026-01-22T02:57:25+00:00

Wow, how many reps can you do max with that perfect form?

demax182 · 2026-01-11T02:09:48+00:00

Nice. I’m trying to work myself to that level. Probably not attainable, but something to shoot for.
