@KVMVKVZ drinking protein shakes and taking supplements doesn't mean a shorter lifespan though. if you want to build muscle, strength and endurance you're going to shorten your lifespan no matter. It's the quality of life that matters.

@@cokecan6169 How da fuck is living healthy going to shorten your life span?

[@cokecan6169]

@@leosthenix i remember it was more because of cell division. The thing that ultimately determines life span is how often your cells can still divide without producing errors in the DNA code. The more your cells have divided the higher these odds become, so the constant regeneration from exercise stresses will have some impact.

[@AdrianOnBars]

I prefer rings! Always loved the slow and controlled movements but I've to admit I don't particularly like having to use false grip

[@FacePullTiToX]

The ring muscle up relies more on pure STRENGTH (force production) and getting comfortable with the flase grip. However the exercise occurs on a very flat plane as the pull is a simple vertical ascend. The bar version is much more dependant on EXPLOSIVENESS (rate of force production) and the movement takes place outside the frontal plane as you need to come up in a parabolic (C-shape) fashion, which for many people might comes as odd and unnatural. I hope this helps understand that there's nothing wrong with you if you could only do the ring version, but not the bar one. Training one variant will have little to no carry over to the other. Specificity of training is key here. Focus on the version you want to get better at :) Keep it up, Fitness FAQs family

I believe that rings muscles ups are harder, more instability, but when you got the grip right they can be great!

Im 6.2 ft tall and weigh 205 lbs but i have like around 20%bf, i can do 15 pull ups, to get past 12 pull ups the thing that helped a lot is hanging, forearm endurance matters the most in pull ups mark my words

[@suke3823]

Amen, man. And it is overlooked despite being logical, for some reason. You can't expect to do a buncha pull ups if you don't dead hang for at least over 2 minutes.

[@andrewdornan3942]

Exactly the opposite here lol. In the bar I'm very comfortable with muscle ups, when I try on rings I can barely get one, I struggle in the transition point.

[@mrburrito2942]

@@deepest_blue make sure you have a really good false grip(wrist really over the ring). That took me from 0 to 3 muscle ups.

[@ephjaymusic]

I think it's a technique issue for each of us. With rings, a solid false grip is paramount. On a bar, the transition is what I'm stuck on.

[@cristiani.6706]

That's it! I finally made up my mind, im gonna buy the rings and go to the next level \^^/ That's what I'd say if I had money hehe

[@TwskiTV]

You are going to be surprised by how hard it is to even make a simple set of dips in them hahahah But it's totally worth it. I myself got a pair 2 weeks ago, already improved quite a lot. The hard part in the begining is mastering the stability when your arms are straight over it

[@kacza1472]

Rings in my opinion are the best training tools. If you buy them for first couple days just work on support hold to get that stability. Then go to harder exercises.

[@danielsmit3524]

Great video. At the time of making this comment we have a nationwide lockdown in South Africa. I usually do conventional weight training, but the lockdown has forced me to train in my garage gym with less equipment. After watching your video I am convinced that I have done myself a disservice by training without rings for so long. Now I am convinced that I can replace many of my usual exercises with ones done on rings!

Using a lower rotating bar like the barbell on a squat rack makes training for muscleups 10x easier

Yessir. I just set the bar to like 20 inches and jump in a explosive manner and i sort of mimic the muscle up as my legs do yhe momentum thing if that makes sense.

[@NigelRichardson]

How many muscle ups can you do in 1 go?

[@MassimoKokhno]

Hehe, and then there is Saibov who can pull straight up and instead of getting stuck at the transition he uses the iron wrist style and still goes up cleanly. Or with rings those who flare them out so much that they do an iron cross during the transition. But of course it takes a lot of dedication to reach those levels and normally muscle ups would be impossible done that way.

Hi Daniel, can you give us some tips on rotating the thumbs out at the end of the ring dip!? Just got a set of rings and I'm struggling with that part.... I can manage the dip part but at the very top when you rotate out your thumbs, I just can't get it. It could purely be a strength issue but my bar dips are decent enough I think (93kg bw + 50kg for 5 reps) or perhaps there are some common mistakes here? Thanks in advance!!

Hi can you please do a video on your diet supplement n protein intake if any pls. Being vegan I am very limited. I have just started ring exercises n tou are big help. Thnx

[@TwskiTV]

Daniel, how do you used to balance learning new moves (flags, front lever, planche, etc) with more standard, hypertrophy oriented training? I feel like it's time to take a leap into learning those moves, but I find training exclusively for them kind of boring. But doing normal workouts after movement training makes me feel I'm hurting my progress a little bit, as I have to rest more day to get a proper movement training day again.

[@lennart3626]

Same, hope there is a answer soon!

[@DarkDetectiveLight]

he once said that training for stronger legs might affect people who want flag, front lever and planche. Nevertheless, its false because ur body will get used to have bigger and stronger muscles. While at first it can make u progress less because of ur joints recuperation and progress, it is not impossible. Also, i dont find those exclusive planche/front lever exercises boring because while progressing, there is still another level you can go up, especially when ur whole back or deltoids, even ur abs get sore from doin them. cheers.

[@benjaminaraya1912]

Hi ,I learn the ring muscle up first and I can do like 5-6 reps with clean form and have a streng to pull 30-35 kg but still struggling on bar muscle up. Should I keep training for streng or it could just be the form that I'm not doing correctly, thoughts?
