How I learnt the Muscle Up in 3 Months. Age 55 Years.

Learn to Muscle-Up. This is the ultimate Calisthenics skill. It took me three months of training before I did my first one. I was aged 55. This video is my journey.
Now at the age of 59, I am getting stronger and fitter with age. I am able to perform multiple muscle-ups, and my form is still improving. I wouldn't call them strict muscle-ups, but the kipping of the legs is massively less than in this video. Please join, subscribe and support me in turning the clock backwards.

This is the most practical video I've seen on Muscle Up's. No false optimism. Just do the hard work and you'll get there.

[@funwithcalisthenics]

This video was all very real, a complete newbie, with no idea, with really bad beginners form, struggling and persevering until finally he achieved his goal. In the years that followed, he cleans up his form.

Same, I gave up at 28 years old, it was so frustrating. I think the easiest way would be some kind of personal trainer, who can tell were your weakness is and what body part you have to work on. This video is quite an inspiration for going back to training.

[@funwithcalisthenics]

Totally agree, it’s so frustrating. Once you’ve cracked the technique you’ll be laughing. Try watching a video by Adam Frater.. another KZbinr. He has a great tutorial that helped me a lot.

[@bernardbarbour]

I'm 63 and will be 64 in a few days. I just started my journey to accomplish the muscle up. I can do about 15 pull ups, 30 ab rollers and push ups. I went and bought an assist band yesterday and tried this morning. Even my trainer said it was hard, but he did one. So, I'm not going to quit, your video is great and has given me the motivation. Thanks, and keep up the great work.

[@funwithcalisthenics]

Bernard, great to hear you are able to do the prerequisites of 15 pull-ups. And being 64 in a few days times makes it even more special. You sound like you are in great shape. Buying the resistance bands gets you used to the feeling of flying upwards over bar. If you can crack the technique, ie , the swing, when to pull, etc, you’ve got this.. when you pull, pull as hard as you can and drive the knees upwards the bar at the same time. It will be a kipping muscle up, but they all count. Receiving comments like yours inspire me to want to make another video. The one you watched i made three years ago. I’ve improved a lot since then. Let me know how you get on.. excited for you.

You are a great inspiration! I will be 60 this year and my goal is to achieve a muscle-up. I started 10 months ago with 2 bands totalling 80kg and have gradually progressed to a single medium band of 25kg where i seem to have stagnated. How long did it take you and did you encounter any sticking points or was it smooth and steady progress all the way? Many thanks again for sharing your journey!

[@funwithcalisthenics]

Hiya, thanks for commenting. Firstly, the progress you’ve made from 80kg in bands to 25kg is seriously impressive. I don’t think there are many 60 year olds that could claim that! It seemed like an I possible task for me, and although it was progressing and I was single minded it wasn’t easy. What you don’t see in my video, is that during the three months it took me, I also managed to lose about 1/2 stone in weight while working hard on my pull-ups. Immediately after completing this video I picked up a shoulder injury so I couldn’t progress and clean up the form. Know I have a minor elbow ache, hopefully I’ll be getting back to muscle-ups again soon. My recommendation is to watch loads of videos on the technique, and visualise performing it. Think .. explosive pull downs like you are slamming the hood of your car and pulling your knees up (kipping) at the same time. And come around the bar, in a curve.. whilst working hard on building your pull-up max. How many can you do?

[@surefire888]

@@funwithcalisthenics Thanks for the quick response! Yes, i have watched dozens of youtube videos and i know the theory behind a successful muscle-up, just seem to lack the explosive strength needed. I can do 12-14 pull-ups, probably 12 clean and at least 15 straight bar dips. Am now practicing chest-to-bar pull-ups to improve on explosiveness but it's a really slow process and i haven't seen any progress since reaching 25kg band around 2 months ago :(

When I look back at that video I made 3 years ago, my pull-ups and style / form was terrible. But I was starting from ground zero.. so I forgive myself. But three years on, I’m getting better. What a struggle.. but so pleased I did it.. we should be proud.

[@astrudlang7557]

What a great video! Thank you for the inspiration. I‘m 48 and can’t do 1 pull up… but you encouraged me to keep working towards it!

[@funwithcalisthenics]

Thanks for your kind words. It’s a great target to have. And working towards it will only make you stronger. Enjoy the journey, regardless of how long it takes.

@@funwithcalisthenics It's consistency through training that is the key I believe. Little by little progressing every week. Letting the body adjust.

[@juanpablopenare8104]

Remarkable, congratulations, all the effort brought its compensations, the body got a formidable transformation. HURRA!!!!!

[@funwithcalisthenics]

Haha, it’s paid off, two years later!

Hey good tenacious work mate, I'm on the same path, several years your senior and I shall persist! Thanks for the share.

[@funwithcalisthenics]

Thanks, check out my latest video.. the one you just watched I made three years ago.

[@paxonearth]

Love it! I'm 58. Ten years ago I could knock out four or five. I'm doubting I could do a single MU right now. Gotta get back at it. Thanks for the motivation.

[@funwithcalisthenics]

Great that we have this platform to all inspire each other.

[@gethnoble4316]

Woooee great success! I'm 59, just learned muscle-ups also, it was pretty hard, but what a feeling when you finally do one and stand triumphantly on top of the bar! You really stuck with it, inspirational😊😊😊

[@funwithcalisthenics]

It’s one of the best feelings a man in his late 50’s can have. Huge achievement.. yes totally triumphant. Pleased you enjoyed the video. I must make another.

[@gethnoble4316]

Thank you

[@GK-bp6zg]

Great job brother! Way to stay with it and still have a positive attitude when things don't always work out as easily and quickly as one would hope. I'm very impressed! 💯

[@funwithcalisthenics]

Thank you.. I was very single minded about getting the muscle up.. sop,eased it happened for me. Three years ago that as. I can do loads now. 😂

[@MatoazzarTV]

Congratulations! I really am! I had this goal a few years ago, maybe 3 or 4 years, and I'll have you know that it took me almost 1 year to get the damn movement haha! I know the effect of that reward for hard work and persistence. I was like a madman the first time I went over that bar without bands. Unbelievable!

[@funwithcalisthenics]

I am laughing.. yes I understand the madman feeling. The first time is the best ! Life changing..

[@ivan4486]

Wow! That's so inspiring! Thank you. I'm 47 and working towards my first muscle-up too.

[@funwithcalisthenics]

You can do it! It’s tough to get started but worth the effort

[@goku445]

You did it?

[@funwithcalisthenics]

@goku445 yes I did it.. that was 4 years ago..

[@funwithcalisthenics]

I’m a whole lot better now. Check out my recent vids

[@sligon00]

You are an inspiration !!!

[@Ian.Does.Fitness]

Well done! I’m 60 and have never achieved an unassisted muscle up. I overthink too much and the training has suffered since covid. Think I’ll try your approach - just keep trying! 😊👍💪

[@funwithcalisthenics]

Exactly. Not perfect but I keep trying and never give up.
