Hey! Nice to have you here, and good luck on your muscle-up journey!

Hi Mike, as I told you some days ago, I did my first muscle up at 46 years young after 2 months of training for it. Now I am trying to add quality reps, not kipping. And I use the resistance bands to perfect it. I am now at the last band and doing 5 sets of five with good form. Last workout I discovered exactly this trick, to do the muscle up in 2 moves. One arch and imediatly to hollow. I just imagine a stop point between them. And it works. The only difference is that I try to keep my body tight during the movement. I found it easier when my body is like a spring.

this is by far the most helpful muscle up tutorial I've seen so far

[@MikeZouth]

Thank you so much! Glad you liked it ☺️💪

Great outdoor calisthenics park at your new gym, Mike! I think I'm going to try a slightly wider grip for my next MU workout. Those hollow holds you were demonstrating are also a great ab workout!

[@MikeZouth]

Did you try them? How did it feel?

[@Jcubed04]

@@MikeZouth I did! A wider grip felt good, but I think maybe I have the most power with a grip a bit wider than shoulder-width apart (not too narrow, not too wide).

[@KineHunter]

This is actually pretty useful. I am strong enough to do one muscle up but I haven't yet because my technique lacks and I don't want to kip or do it with a bad form. Will try this one next time I do a pull up workout. Thanks a lot.

[@MikeZouth]

Glad it was helpful! ☺️💪

Thank you Mike for sharing all of your muscle up tips. How did you find the slightly wider grip? I'm guessing it would activate the lats a little bit more.

[@MikeZouth]

Yes, it activates the lats more and makes the transition easier because you don't have to pull as high ☺️💪

m8, great content. i have a hard time rotating my hands, any tips for this? thankks

[@MikeZouth]

The most important tip as a beginner when it comes to rotating your hands is to not have any friction on the bar. You don't want to have chalk or sweaty hands or anythin like that. Before doing your muscle-ups check that you can rotate your hands freely around the bar with zero friction. Try it out and tell me what you think ☺️💪
