Ring Muscle Up Checklist (3 STEPS)

[@BodyweightWarrior]

Hope you guys enjoy the tips on the ring muscle up. Only thing I missed is don’t forget the chalk!

[@rosyadhmohammad8814]

is it significantly harder without chalk?

[@growingannanas]

no life without chalk haha

[@indifferenz]

@@rosyadhmohammad8814 no, but you might lose some skin because of friction

[@broski4851]

how to get strength to pull rings to my chest once in the false grip hang?

[@chanding]

Hi Tom, thanks for advice. Here's a question - would you recommend training daily for these types of exercises or leave days in between for muscle rest and growth?

[@GaingsterKid]

This will sound crazy and made up BUT it's not. I just did my very first muscle up. Right now!!! I was working on the false grip , FULL rom dips and pull ups for sometime. I never tried a ring muscle up before. I was preparing for it but never tried it. I watched the video. At 6:30 I paused it and went to try a muscle up for fun (the bar where I hang the rings is in my room). And guess what ? I did my very first muscle up following the tips Tom gave. Just to make sure it wasn't out of sheer luck I took 60s rest and went for a second one. The transition was a bit hard but I did it. A tuck* ring muscle up. Thanks Tom!!! Edit: * By tuck I meant L-sit.

[@chikkmagneet]

Funny a few years ago I did the same thing I watched a similar well put video on the cue I needed and bam immediately after I got my first ring muscle up. Keep at it!

[@BodyweightWarrior]

Awesome man! So happy I could help :)

[@mandlakei3053]

L sit muscle up is much harder too so you had built an incredible amount of base strength already!

[@aris1543]

OMG i just did it too, thanks buddy if I didn’t read this comment I wouldn’t tied it

[@gravinboginagis6568]

Bro I was just about to say I’d done it after watching the video first time but then I read ur comment! Wtf I never tried it before hahaha

[@growingannanas]

Love your videos! Keep going, and thanks for that - helped me a lot to get my first muscle up months ago!

[@BodyweightWarrior]

[@ReLXe]

Great tutorial. I was watching a crossfit tutorial about ring muscle up. But all they care about is swinging as much as possible. I will practice your way.

[@ramonloback2740]

That is definately not a muscle-up. Just a clumsy moviment preparing you to injury yourself.

[@Trohanks]

CrossFit literally has an official video on just the strict muscle up but okay

[@ReLXe]

@@Trohanks too bad they dont apply any of it when theyre in a competition.

[@Trohanks]

@@ReLXe Always said CrossFit is a great idea executed poorly. As soon as they let the athletes break form just to get a few seconds, the sport was ruined, so yeah, competitive CrossFit is not the right place to learn anything at all

[@rohollaahmadzadeh7201]

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH MAN!!! I was so close to getting the ring muscle-up, but I just couldn't do it. until you said how the rings should touch your chest before beginning the transition. I paused the video immediately and gave it one more try and I just did it!!

This video is a very nice refresher! I learnt to do the ring muscle ups last year but I stopped doing them and today couldn't do one and it was very frustrating. Then I remembered this video and when you gave the tip about the rings touching your chest I had a "oh, right" moment and was able to easily do them again

[@aidannyman7871]

Watched so many tutorials on achieving ring muscles, and this just helped me nail it. The tips on common mistakes in the transition are what helped the most

[@anthoniec165]

Tysm i finally did it! I’ve been able to do regular muscle ups for years but never really figured out how to do the ring muscle up until I watched your video! Ty man!

[@tank0792]

Good video and solid advice on not using too much momentum but instead using a more focused controlled approach

[@ARJUNA___]

Thank you so much! This is the best Ring Muscle Up i have ever seen💪🏽☺️🙏🏽

[@dayle1341]

Dude, I have tried ring Muscle Up for so long. Always made the mistakes you were mentioning. After watching this, I got it immediately, holy shit! - Thank you so much!!

[@understandyourmind]

The false grip is very difficult for me to even hold myself in the air.. I can't do even one second. I need to get stronger arms and wrists first.

[@yarikpaszli8798]

I dont know how ur progression is after a year. But what helps me is to do false grip with 1 hand and normal with the other. Bend your arms so the strain isnt too high on your wrists

[@laurel5432]

@@yarikpaszli8798 that's a nice tip I'm gonna try that The false grip feels literally impossible with completely straight arms at the moment

[@butter_cup2501]

Is a ring muscle up harder than a bar 1 as I can do bar 1s

I know I’m late but I really appreciate it bro you just helped me do my very first muscle up 💪🏽❤️

[@jwsjourneys7974]

I have never thought of using Ring Muscle Up as part of my workout. I am going to begin this as part of the gym based circuit training that I have adapted from your no equipment 7 day at home workout. Your workout helped me maintain strength and my sanity during such a horrid time.

[@markgulyas5466]

I struggled with this movement for a month.After i watched this video i did a RMU first try :D

[@AnAmateurAdventurer]

Awesome walk-through! Now do the same for the bar muscle up!

[@tiagoarno780]

It's really well explained. I can do it on bar but not on rings. Will give it a new try now

[@antonioperez7528]

Morning Tom. Very Interested because I am slowly training ring muscle ups. Can only do one at the moment from the floor L-sit streight arm 😅. But this will definitely help me. Just what I needed. 🙏🏾 Bro 👍🏾😁🤙🏾

[@artemmitasov]

thanks for the details, will try at next session

[@Headhunter7604]

Thanks to the right cues and understanding the steps and components of the movement, I got my first muscle up did 2 actually. After one week I can't seem to get it any more, maybe it's exhaustion maybe bad form. Focusing on the assisted transitions and false grip pull ups for the moment. Thanks for the insight Tom.

Zran Mohamed Dhia how many can you do now?

[@olisen5782]

Thank you so much. Learned muscle up in 5 min because of this video!

Tom just subscribed and going to try this in evening, as i have been doing weighted pullups and ring pullups and dips i think i will be able to do this. If i am able to believe me tonight I'll binge watch all of your videos and like them

Great Tutorial! Thanks to you i managed to do my first ever ring mussle up today :D

[@WorkoutUnionPT]

Super clear explanation! It will help a lot of people for sure!

[@BrunoAxhausen]

That‘s a great tutorial!! I can do muscle ups on the bar but I‘m still struggling on the rings. Definitely a bit different in the transition where I feel you can cheat a little on the bar when you generate enough upward momentum on the pull up... maybe it’s just the different motion that is throwing me off... But the progressions help a lot in figuring out the correct movement! You‘re a great coach! Thanks for putting this together!

[@farislazee2832]

Wow great tutorial. Detailed and easy to understand. Thanks Tom

Thanks 🙏 I was able to pull off my first ring muscle up. The key point for me was to let the rings touch my chest

[@ShotgunGuenni]

Awesome Tutorial Tom! Thx a lot. But what im nor even more curious about is the oura ring XD I wouldnt have thought that ist possible to wear it while training but it seemed that you do. How has your experience been with wearing it while training? Im interested in purchasing one as well. Thx in advance and have great day mate. Cheers, Nils

[@hjkhhjkh3635]

That’s strange, I always heard the ring muscle ups were harder than a bar muscle up, anyone’s thoughts on this?

[@stepanfilonov]

Probably because with no technique the ring muscle up is very demanding for physical strength. But with proper technique it's the other way around.

[@joaopedromoreira7638]

i can do it on rings but not on pullup bars, in my experience the rings demand less pulling strenght;

[@tbn22]

I can do both, and in my humble opinion, the rings are easier. I learned the bar muscle up first, back in 16. Early last year I learned the ring muscle up. The rings are easier because you can more easily "lean" into the transition. On the bar you "manoeuvre around" the bar, which is more difficult.

[@marianotamola5240]

Yes but the tricep extension part is easier at the bar than in the rings

[@Paka1983]

I can do both and imho ring MU is harder. It requires way way way more technique.

[@SoulBladeM]

I loved the transition drill. Excellent vid, Tom! My fav calisthenics channel!

Recently I've been wondering if it should be easier do Ring muscle ups. Because I soemtimes do these weird dips from my desk starting in the seated position and I've tried rings pull ups, and think the only thing I need to do now is get stronger in the transition from the top of the pull up to the beginning of the dip.

[@MrApetape]

Really nice explained! I did a my first ringmuscleup last summer and to keep the rings as close as possible and really just start the transition when they touch your chest did change it for me. Had this major secret from somewhere else but hey, you really explained all what is needed.

[@SanderJanssenBSc]

I can do 10 clean bar muscle ups but I can't do a single one on the rings! I should learn the technique because I feel like with this control and stability aspect I can still make some new gains

Do negatives that will teach you the technique

​@@awol6574 no, that's terrible advice. Negative ring muscle up is harder than the normal version and will lead to injury
