How to MUSCLE UP in 5 MINUTES - Strict and Kipping

How to Muscle Up - On the Rings Strict and Kipping - Ring Muscle Up - Muscle Up Progression

[@TheScarface246]

I've been trying to do a strict muscle up almost everyday and finally was able to do one today from watching this! Happy happy happy

[@green-grooves]

Great video with clear, uncomplicated instructions. “Eyes to the sky, then rotate over to look at your shoes” is what I need to transition over. Usually, that split second of explosive energy mentally blocks out all others techniques encountered so far... Your technique is truly effective. Thank you!

[@QWKDTSN]

Been failing at RMUs for months, almost hurt myself a few times. I watched this video and got my first ring muscle up FIRST TRY. unreal. Thanks Craig I'm on the team for life!

[@ObiVincent]

Funny enough i just started practicing today... perfect timing 🤙🏾🔥🔥

[@TeamRICHEY]

You’ll nail one easy bro 🤓

[@urielruiz2958]

KZbin knows what to suggest for! 😂🙌🏼

[@bobbychawla6303]

Literally got the ring muscle up in 2 min thanks to this video! Appreciate it bro 💪🏽

[@scotsinnen]

I just got my first ever RMU today thanks in no small part to this video. I got 2 in 20.5 and want to thank you!! i am 52 years old, so old dog can learn new trick!

[@TeamRICHEY]

Get it that’s awesome

[@280StJohnsPl]

As a person who trained himself to do a muscleup at age 55 by looking at photos of it, I can tell you that the MU is a strength move and the best instruction in the world can't make up for missing strength. False grip pullups will give you the strength, videos will give you the technique. Without the strength, there is no muscleup....and that's the bottom line.

[@davidcervantes8841]

I swear it has been 2 weeks of me looking up videos on how to muscle all of which we helpful in their own way but this video simplified and broke it down in the most perfect manner. MINUTES after watching this video I finally go the muscle up and boy I was ecstatic. This video is perfect!

[@faldiesolomon3553]

Tried it and got my first RMU today. Haven't tried for a while to be honest. Was really great to finally get it. Thanks so much. Could you do a similar video for Bar Muscle-Ups?

[@juansabalua7375]

Hey! Me too!!

[@justinzhang6883]

[@lasseh9171]

[@haraldodunkirk1432]

Back two years later and still the best tutorial on KZbin. Thank you!

[@mymixedlife6292]

dude i get my first one from this vid! thanks my friend. it really helped. cheers from Portugal.

[@deedeesman]

try using the bands like this guy kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooq5e2Rtpqppgac

[@riversma]

You are the Mann, This is truly the best instructional video on KZbin about on the muscle up

[@ferni14]

wow, literally the best explanation ive ever seen about this exercise. Thanks for the tips

[@PickAShoe1]

This is the clearest explanation of the false grip I’ve seen on this website, thank you.

[@newChiller]

Great tip to keep the hips up and not to think of it as a pull up. Exactly what I needed. Thanks!

[@krislavallee8342]

I have watched several video tutorials. You are the first to deliver an intelligible, sensible and humble approach, and I thank you sir. 🙏🏼

[@bubbleman441]

I'm not one to regularly comment on videos. Just received rings from Amazon last week for me and my toddler. I've never been able to do a muscle up on the bar. I watched this video just before bed last night to have the technique fresh in my mind for the next day. I completed my first muscle up on my third try just by following your instructions. Thank you for the lesson.

[@jackson102788]

So I got my rings last Saturday and and ring muscle up was one of my first goals. I was finally able to get it today! You're video definitely helped with my process. Thanks for that and keep up the good work!

[@valtersspicbergs5176]

Masive thank's for the tips. Watched the video again yesterday morning and did my first 17 muscle ups in the evening! Again big thank's man!

[@billholly4317]

That was great! I would have been wildly happy. Your buddy was very controlled. Not me. But I'm 65. I'm going after it though. Thank you very much. I'd love to see more instructional and progressive videos.

[@ronald7482]

Keep up the good muscle

[@M13x13M]

I’m 68 will try this.

[@sessionsdt]

I’ve been trying to find a really simple and clear explanation for sometime. Found a lot of progressions that didn’t make much sense. This is by far the clearest and most logical explanation I have come across. Thank you. Looking forward to giving it a go.

[@willykwa79]

Probably the most complete muscle up video i have seen so far. Nice work bro, ye nailed it 👌🏻 👏🏻

[@AlejandroAlbarranRojas]

Got my first four Ring muscle Ups thanks to this video.

[@guapdonfit]

I just wanted to say thanks for this video you help me to achieve my first muscle up on March 5. I first attempted it on February 2 but I had no idea on what a false grip was lol but now I’ve mastered the technique and now I’m up to 6 clean full range muscle ups in a row. Thank you 👏🔥💪🏾

[@shabblabbat]

the look in Ben's eyes when he nailed 3 of them. priceless!

[@Buttery93]

Yesterday I achieved my very first MU, after 2 days of practicing. Not a real kip ( so no L-swing and straight arm raise ) but high knee raise. However I have something to build on now! I have weak wrists, cant wait to strengthen them with these excercises and eventually a strict ring MU. Greetings and much love from a Belgian crossfit-enthousiast

[@280StJohnsPl]

Good work ! I did my first ring MU at 54 years old and in good form. It's a skill like anything else and the false grip is the key

[@franciscodelcid6395]

Watched this last night because of 20.5 announcement. Did the warm ups that you described before the workout this morning, finally got my first ring muscle up this morning!!! Thank you so much!!!

[@haraldodunkirk1432]

Dude! Thank you so much! You’re amazing! After eight months of watching other youtubers make it look easy but still not getting it myself, I just got it thanks to your vid. Sky and shoelaces!

[@anthonykane51]

2nd time ever attempting a ring muscle today and got it on my third attempt. This video really broke down the technique really well!!

[@lucasleonte6397]

Holy shit the most accurate video ever, I've tried to learn it for so long with no results and now I found you, thanks man

[@whiskey_zulu]

Achieved my first ring muscle up thanks to your progression tips. Thanks man!

[@lindenellefson8558]

The cues on this are GOLD. I used this and even using the Row cue and "sky then shoelaces" cue, I landed 2 strict ring muscle ups after not being able to do them at all. Cheers Craig!

[@DrBaggie3423]

This is in my opinion one of the best "tutorials" I've seen. Don't get me wrong I have a lot of work to do before I can do an actual muscle up but this break down was a absolutely brilliant. Thanks so much!

[@banshee107]

dude I have been getting frustrated with not being able to do a muscle up. Ive tried and tried, I’ve watched a pile of KZbin videos with no progression. I tried your advice at 4:02 with looking to the sky and then shoe laces and it worked first try! Thank you so much!! New sub!!

[@jota3732]

Thanks brother, really good demo , a no nonsense approach, I still can’t do it though . I’m 55 but I’m going to archive this this week , will let you know how I got on 😎

[@ron5102]

Thank you so much ! I got my first clean muscle up with this hip-up tip !

[@classicalchris7595]

That was the best and clearest explanation I have seen. Thank you!

[@TaurangaSnC]

You’re a very good coach. Very easy to understand.

[@AtwayAkec]

Of all the videos on how to do a ring muscle up... this one is the one that helped me get my first muscle up today! Getting that first muscle up is the most amazing euphoric feeling ever! Liked and subscribed!... it’s the least I could do.

[@rheeceabrahams7291]

Hadn’t hit a muscle up for almost a year when I thought back to this video and the tips. Can now say 2 consecutive weeks been able to hit them!, Thanks man

[@quintenlisinski3071]

Holy crap thank you for this. Do more of these because there aren’t very many quality instructional like this

[@benjaminesteves9223]

I just got my first muscle up, and all due to this video! Thanks a lot!

[@keithpritchard8273]

You guys ROCK! Absolutely LOVE your in depth, technical CF knowledge, but with the crazy-awesome ability to articulate the “how” and “why” for guys like me. Keep rockin’ The awesome content... I may be an average Joe masters guy, but you two are always an inspiration with your “can do - never quit - ever positive” outlook on everything... LOVE IT... and Thank you.

[@sanguiVSdobbi]

Yeahhhh!!!!!!!!!!!! Got my first ring muscle up because of this vid!!! You're the best!!!

[@juf_ines635]

This of all tutorial videos was the most value one to learn a ringmuscleup I ever saw on youtube. All the time I was strong enough to do it, but I never got the transition right. YOU explained the false grip right! (So much auwchies right now 😂) Thank you so much for this tutorial. I did my first RMU after I saw this video. And I did it again and again and again. If anyone I know wants to learn the RMU, I'll show them this video!

[@marius_krm]

Never got one. Tried it like this and instantly got it. thank you so much!!

[@Tayloraitken12]

5 years later I still use this video to teach others!

[@fillet-o-fish9374]

The best ring muscle up tutorial video in the world!

[@ericabright6079]

Couldn't strict muscle-up before watching this vid. Watched the vid, then went and did one. Thank you Craig!

[@smartnothard2400]

Not the first false grip tip I’ve seen but the karate chop was how I needed to hear it! Can’t wait to try 👊 ❤️ 💍

[@superskaria]

Thanks man for your transition idea worked like a butter in the first attempt... Now that's a perfect way to teach somebody... "Master". Lots of videos but nobody explained it like this. Until this video I thought rig muscle up was like black belt level but now with your technique it was like drinking water. I am mindblown seriously. Appreciate a lot. 🙏

[@paulmaloney2383]

It's great stumbling upon different videos, you learn new tips and tricks and I have to say this video is really good, I will try that technique tomorrow

[@BenMudge]

10 RMUs now! Thanks again man

[@camerongray7767]

Ben Mudge Wow that’s really good dude!

[@dalelatimer01]

I recognize this place

[@tom4od]

The best muscle up video I have found

[@a1cjohn]

I just got my first ring muscle up last week, thank you so much for all of the tips so I could get my first one!!! Love the videos!!!

[@rasalghul4085]

Just did my first ring-muscle up thanks to this video. Best explanation!🙏🏼

[@woodgatesmotorcycles7826]

Watched this on Tuesday tried it in the box Wednesday did it first try!! Thanks for the tips you Legend!

[@leokuosmanen5965]

I got my first one because of this video. Thanks so much

[@igoragogo158]

Awesome Craig. I'm not ready yet, need more strength but will come back to this when I am. You're just a legend bro👍🏽

[@krispytoo12]

Just stumbled across this video (thank you algorithm). I have recently been trying to RMU and I keep hitting a wall halfway up. This is exactly what I needed. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[@italstal222]

Hit 10 MUs in 18.3, most I’ve ever gotten in a WOD, BY FAR. Thanks for the great tips!!

[@mehdielbensaid7063]

It couldn't be much clearer than that, well done 👌

[@chrisgomez1271]

Awesome Job Ben & great coaching, I’ve never been able to get a strict MU, just Kipling. I’ll probably watch this 💯 times and send you a video of my 1st strict MU 🙏🏾

[@hayta3516]

Tried it and I did my first RMU after watching your video on a first try :) thank you. The advice to look at the sky and then on the ground helped me the most.

[@batodelcastillo4802]

You are so funny and have a great beautiful smile , like a good kid ! Like a kind Viking 🤗🧸

[@ContagiousIdeal]

Honestly, I think you should do one of this for all the movements, extremely well explained! Good on you

[@patrickmcguire9828]

Got my first RMU after watching this video first time with just making a few changes and drilling the technique you demonstrated for a couple minutes was amazed how easy it was Thanks 👌👌

[@lorenzolupo9982]

Your tutorial is great ! The first "something in 5 mins" tutorial I have watched that actually works if you have the basic strength required. I would say that the requirements are about 6 clean ring pull ups and 6 clean deep ring dips.

[@solera2008]

More videos like this one guys. This is fantastic.

[@bboygermy]

Makes a lot of sense; definitely trying this method out!

[@mikaelblendstrup]

Nice tip with the row instead of thinking it as a pullup! Gonna save me in 18.3. Thanks mate!

[@mikerodriguez6092]

Yep great advice. I gave it a shot today and surprised myself. I nailed my first two ever. Thanks!

[@joshcarter48]

Thanks for this Craig and Jas! 👍👍

[@vexedev]

Best tutorial I seen so far, great queues and hints! EDIT: OMG WTF!! I just tried it and got it first try after watching your video and applying the tips lmao! Tried before with many failed attempts, I've always had the pulling and dipping strength, also recently working my false grip but the transition never worked for me. What really helped was thinking "row" instead of "pullup", and "tracing the ribs" Thank you!

[@TheThatonekid211]

Tried it and this advice actually helped, thank you! Knocked out my first RMU today ✊🏽

[@reaper411b]

super helpful, thanks!

[@ccraigwalton]

Well done! I'm competing in the granite games and have been learning crossfit for only 3 weeks now. Tomorrow I'll be rewatching this to learn ring muscle ups for workout #5. Thank you so much!

[@simonnight9226]

I just muscled up after watching this video!!!! I got it on video too, 3 times! I can planche on bars, and some other decent exercises but, I just got rings, and have been training push pull for a bit... but couldn’t muscle up! Watched this vid, tried it, did it!!!! Thanks for teaching me the form! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 P.S I learned it by sitting on the floor, setting the rings to reach up, and doing what he said to learn the technique. Pull up, trace, look up, look down etc

[@JackAlford]

The breakdown of this is brilliant

[@luccsfranca]

Brooo wtf, I was able to do the kipping muscle ups but every time I tried to do it strict I failed. After watching this I got 7 in a row, thanks man! You’re the best 💪🏽

[@nhanhtran7010]

Follow your instructions and get my first muscle up today. Great! Thank you very much.

[@striding3722]

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THIS IS THE BEST Tutorial yet!

[@tonya3144]

This is a very, very good video. You’ve got yourself another subscriber.

[@DIEGOORTIZ-bs8pc]

[@isaacmontgomery5348]

Wow…super informative! Thank you dude!! I been trying to get my first one. This will definitely help.

[@instagregs]

Coach Craig, killin it!

[@AnAmateurAdventurer]

This video is badass, so simple but so effective

[@davywilliams8048]

Good call, 18.3 here it is. Never thought Ring MUs would be in the Open. Time for a crash course. This tutorial was very helpful! Thanks.

[@xdillpicklex7608]

i was struggling a lot with the transition but i did what you said and got if first try, THANK YOU!

[@ellamccarthy1424]

Amazing! My November lockdown goal is to learn a RMU. I’m soo ready to begin today after watching this vid! 💪🏼

[@patmia3882]

I gotta get over the pull up part.... that's keeping me from completing a muscle up. Great vid guys firt one o found very helpful 🤘

[@n7jenast]

Very strange experience. Having tried several times, I was sure I couldn't do one. The suddenly it works following these tips. That's one off the bucket list.

[@adroneview]

Worked for me today - ticked off from my bucket list as well - الحمدلله.

[@jancas3137]

Just bought my first pair of rings. Going to try it soon!

[@hakanasd1]

Jan Cas whats your experiences bro, i bought of a pair too, its on the road.

[@eastcow]

fantastic analogy n the detail is vital ! tq

[@stewartingram1461]

Wow - just watched your video and got one on my 2nd attempt! It was the tip about head position that did it. Thanks guys.

[@cedricrueckert2399]

WOW Perfect description ! It worked instand, with the first try !

[@ironmikesgym1657]

Great video! I will be trying this later today. I am desperate to do muscle-ups. Really well taught Craig! Keep up the videos, superb

[@s.motorsport9960]

Been trying for a while now. After using this technique i got it first try! thanx a lot

[@bombazine2]

That "hips high" movement looks great, I'll give it a try. Ive been struggling with these (can do bar muscle ups).

[@joejenkins4463]

Body intelligence is off the chain .......thank you sir
