hey boys & girls
hope youre all well!
Im happy with my rope climbing now, can go up and down a couple of times, not using feet at all. i need a new challenge!
i have looked up muscle-ups on the interwebs, and have tried with NO success...
I will be going at them again this arvo, with alot more swing! I was going at them from a dead hang...
any of the guys/girls on here give this 100kg meathead any inside info???
thanks again!!

Muscleups on rings or a bar? Strict or kipping?

Strict bar muscleups:
Practice weighted pullups
Practice chest to bar speed pullups
Practice very deep dips (nipples to hands).

Once you can do those 3 things well you'll be able to do a strict bar muscleup.

On rings you have to learn stability and the transition, this takes a little longer.

Kipping will get you to your goal sooner, but is a good way to injure your shoulders.
 
I reckon I could do a few muscle ups with a decent Kip.
Haven't really tried but did something that resembled these in my crossfit days :p
 
Thanks Wingman.
Im starting on the normal chin up bar, but have rings hanging from the ceiling too.

L-Sit Pull Ups gripping the bar exactly how Mark Rippetoe says never to grip the bar. As much as possible, you want to have your hands in the position they'll end up in at the top of the muscle up, from the bottom of it. Having your feet forward will tip your balance so that you can get around the bar with relative ease.
 
I can do 3 of these, unassisted, on a good day. I found that my grip was extremely important. I wasn't starting off with a 'false' grip and found that I lost all of my momentum trying to roll my hands over the bar.

Never tried on rings, but with rings the 'false' grip would be a prerequisite, so they may make it easier for you to get started without any kipping. If you have rings, you could also do a ton of other men's gymnastics style workouts, like the "Iron Cross" etc.

Those guys have a ridiculously strong upper body.
 
My PB is 13 before unrelated shoulder injury. (pull up bar)

Explosive pullups to the chest
practice the false grip
quick rotation of the arms and lean forward as you get to correct height

practice, practice, practice

lol was waiting for you to post. Knew you pretty damn good at them.
 
Thanks guys. I REALLY love these. Unfortunately them and bb bench press are the two exercises which seem to aggravate my shoulder injury so I can't push them like I used to.

I "just" started practicing the 360 muscle up on the low bar last week. You do you're normal muscle up and then at the top, kip off a bit and push with arms and spin 360 and then grab the bar and do another one. I've only made it 270deg so far!

Where in your foot have you lost feeling?

There's a ton of correctable problems that can cause it, I wouldn't be too worried. My BIL had a herniated disc that impinged his S1 nerve, causing numbness in the outside of his foot. Required surgery, but he's good as new. Dude moves furniture for a living.

Best of luck.

On the underside & constant feeling of a strained hammy.
Got MRI back, can see two discs pushing on spinal cord. Unhappy camper

I've got a fair idea what your going through, you can read about it in the first couple of pages of my diary.

Have the discs bulges or have they ruptured?
Can you walk without increased pain?
How hard is it for your to piss?
Does it hurt to sit in a chair?

Take it easy dude and don't listen to anyone tell you 'she'll be right' They have no comprehension of the pain, discomfort or how delicate these injuries need to be handled. I would not be lifting any weights AT ALL until you've seen the specialist.

Thanks mate.
Yes, it is the worst pain I've felt. I've broken cheekbones, collarbones, all my fingers and dislocated an elbow, they are nothing compared to this crap.
Going to toilet is ok, but driving or sitting in a car is pretty tough. Getting results back today.
How long we're you out of action for??
