How to Muscle Up (My Best Tips) | Tutorial

[@jacobcalisthenics]

For those of you who are focusing on the kipping Muscle-Up, make sure to start the kip and the pull at the exact same time. And don’t be scared to move your knees towards your chest with some power. But remember that the power is coming from your hips, not the knees. As a trick you can try to imitate the way you would kick a soccer-ball (just try the movement standing and feel how the power comes from the hips, even if the knee is bending). This is what you want to do when the momentum reverses. This video didn’t go into much detail on how to kip exactly, maybe I’ll do this in another video if there is interest 😊

Hips….. don’t lie 😂

[@touregrandizer7110]

Golden cues, still cant do muscle ups(started trainin them 4 days ago) i can do 10+ pull ups easily though do i lack strenght?

[@jj1794]

​@@touregrandizer7110explsoive power is a must. Work on doing high pull ups and add weighted pull ups to the mix. Thats what helped me.

[@aminefhdtv6334]

I don't normally comment on KZbin videos but salute to you . This is the best video tutorial so far

[@jacobcalisthenics]

Thank you so much!

[@jakemccoy]

This taught you? Or can you already muscleup?

[@arshinsharma2137]

I made a mistake of not rotating the wrists in the transition. It causes pain in the outer part of hand. So , thank you for keeping that bit in.

[@wendellvaldez3662]

Doing weighted muscle ups at for reps is INSANE. I aspire to be like you!!

[@zenks5883]

3:08 Bro is doing muscle ups WEIGHTED, idk if you ppl realise just how insane that is, my respect quadrupled when i saw this, at first i couldn't believe my eyes, that is insane strength man, truly inspirational! 💪

[@joezupko]

That girl is like “wtf is going on?” Hahaha

[@AstBun1]

This is ridiculously well explained. Ive been looking for good tips and explanations for months now, while i polish my handstand, looking forward the next challenge. The "pressing button" tip is amazing

[@jacobcalisthenics]

Thanks, appreciate it! 🙏 Good luck with your progress 💪

[@Shadoow585]

It's quite simple but the headbut was the last piece I was missing. I struggled for months with the technique but after this video I did my first (assisted) muscle up. Thank you!

[@jacobcalisthenics]

@@Shadoow585 That’s awesome! Congrats man 💪

[@delt19]

Damn this was a great tutorial. Great points about the impact of different exit / entry angles.

[@jacobcalisthenics]

@@delt19 Thanks 🙏💪

One of the best tutorials Thank you 👍🏻

[@dailyhacks4634]

Using momentum and timing is perfectly explained

[@black2haw]

This is the best video tutorial

[@iSaiyanPrince]

salute. I can hit 4 but with shitty form. Definitely bout to tighten em up now 👍🏿

[@blazorb5907]

Do you do dead hangs??? Or is your scapular always enganged and not allowing your shoulder blades to be completely released? Thanks

[@olo8482]

So clean muscle up.Good work

[@BeerBikes]

This tutorial was money! One of the best ones on KZbin for sure! Well done. Thanks man! Peace!

[@jacobcalisthenics]

@@BeerBikes Thank you so much 🙏

[@SteveAtwal]

Awesome video…I need to try this. Cheers 😊

[@Laske007]

Thanks allot man i litteraly watched this without sound and i understand it i love you man thanks again ❤💪🫡

[@axeltravel2793]

Excellent explanation - especially as the momentum within the 40 degree angle is properly shown. Best tutorial in brief form😅.

[@jacobcalisthenics]

Thanks!

[@__Mako]

After watching ur technique i did my first muscle up, now i can do up to 5 muscle up. Im aiming to do clean 10 muscle up!

[@jacobcalisthenics]

Wow, that's really great to hear! Congrats!

[@Begotten01]

Very interesting thank you so much

Def one of the best vids Iv seen explaining

[@jacobcalisthenics]

[@jakemccoy]

Can you muscleup?

[@starterguy.]

Bro had to do a lot of research on this RESPECT

[@neilfpv]

Trying it now buddy! Thank you!

[@jakemccoy]

Did you get it?

[@michaelyeung2126]

this is actually a very good tutorial video! Thanks! You deserve a lot more views and subs!!

[@jacobcalisthenics]

Thank you so much!

[@ahmdmhb7702]

Can you make a video about improving explosive strength for muscle up to skip the kipping muscle up

[@altradez]

I have been doing dead hang muscle ups to maximize true strength and control. Then drop sets with red or black band muscle ups.

[@buichinh5]

Amazing. In this universe, Tyrion Lannister can do muscleup

[@mikebusker]

Я научился только в 56 лет, в этом году. Очень нравится!

[@TheFoxxUnit]

Great !

[@redrum3425]

Went to like the video and realized i had already watched this video before and liked it ha!

[@TehLiquid]

Fuckin fantastic tutorial.

[@Zijun_static]

Underrated!

[@samarthmahajan8527]

Thank you for this I have been watching your videos since the past few days and have been absolutely mind blown . I have been attempting the muscle up as well and this tutorial Will definitely be helpful

[@jacobcalisthenics]

You're welcome! And thank you so much! Good luck on your new attempts 💪

[@jakemccoy]

Can you muscleup now?

[@realninebreaker9287]

At the bottom of the muscle up, is your scapula depressed/activated? Or do you relax your scapula at the bottom?

[@adrianocandidodasilva3417]

Great video

[@shutendoji470]

One of the problems i have encountered while trying to muscle (which i have succeeded at doing 2 reps) is my hands skin peels off and all the meat underneath gets exposed.

[@StillChasingdreams]

Someone please, How can I grip cuz I've been stucking in this and my hand was slip

[@jasperhaak6994]

Casually repping weighted muscle ups. Crazy. Been able to do 2 muscle ups, these tips are great and also what I followed to get my first. :)

[@jacobcalisthenics]

Thanks! And nice! Great to hear 💪

[@jakemccoy]

Are you practicing on a bar that is tall enough to allow this extension? Or is it a shorter bar that requires bending?

[@JeffKastner]

I just recently achieved my first one and I’m up to 4 now in about 2 1/2 months. I am super reliant on the kip though. Is it just a matter of getting enough reps in over the next few months to straighten the legs out or should I be focusing on anything else to make that happen? (uploaded a short on my feed if it helps critique)

[@jacobcalisthenics]

Hey man. The short answer is yes. A lot of high volume sessions with kipping reps, and then, as soon as you can, you start kipping with straight legs (which tecnically is called a hip drive). The technique of a hip drive muscle up has more transferability into the clean muscle up, so that's the next step.

[@JeffKastner]

@@jacobcalisthenics Thanks, sir!!

[@itachiiiz4488]

I'm able to get up there and touch the bar under my chest but I keep falling back what do I do?

[@kefkapalazzo1]

I just tried to angle my body without swinging and got up. At least that’s how it felt idk how it looks

[@touregrandizer7110]

Can uclarify the wrist rotation thing before the dip?

[@lilhaxxor]

This was pretty good, but... you have to talk about the strength prerequisites before trying the muscle. I liked the angles, although this 40° angle is really dubious (this was nowhere near 40°). 😂

[@joseixpertay348]

Amazing strength and thank you for the tutorial bro!

[@BruceXuHasADream]

liked this cuz 4 mins instead of 15 -- like bro do you need 15 mins to explain a muscle up? You the goat, you got the view

[@joseixpertay348]

Quick question? Do you exhale on your way up. Or inhale....or just engage core and not focus on the breathing

[@jacobcalisthenics]

I either brace with a hollow body and hold my breath through the pull (typically for 1rm) or exhale as the pull begins (better for multiple rep). I explain how I brace in my setup vid 💪

[@atulrozal7692]

40 degrees means 2 feet’s away from the bar ?

[@matinsasan]

Just came to comment the moment I saw: Weighted muscle up there??? JESUS! Personally I find pull up harder than squat and dead lift, let alone muscle up... Kodus. Nice Achievement, man :]

[@M13x13M]

Can you feel which muscles are really involved to do a muscle up? In videos it’s never apparent.

[@jacobcalisthenics]

Hey man. In the pulling part of the movement, the primary muscles are the lats and biceps- but the core and forearms are also big factors (the entire body is fully tensed). In the transition and dip, the primary focus switches to the triceps, front delts and chest. As a whole the Muscle Up involves every muscle group in the upper body 💪

[@carlocuturic1134]

By the way... After watching your video I tried to do muscle up with the steps you showed and guess what? I could do my first 5 muscle ups in a row. And I could not even do 1 before that 😅 Thanks a lot bud 🤜🤛

[@jacobcalisthenics]

That’s amazing! Congrats man 💪

[@AK2HI]

Let me sum this up, practice. Ok done

[@Goat-vy2bi]

[@TheBenchPressBoss]

How do i stop my calluses fro. Ripping

[@jacobcalisthenics]

It can be a really frustrating cycle when your calluses keep ripping, because they don’t have enough time to recover between sessions. For me personally, I use protection pads and sports tape when it gets bad. But normally, I do my top sets with semi false grip and no pads. And then I switch to a neutral grip (hanging by the fingers) in my volume sets to spare my hands. I have some recommendation for callus protection in my Equipment guide video 💪

[@Tannyller]

Is false grip slow muscle up easier than this because i can do it but can't do this

[@kabugh]

What would you say about the iron wrist version?

[@LittlePatter8]

I've been training for 3 years now but I just can't get strong enough to do one :(

[@douglass.4487]

I know, I still have to learn how to do a proper pull up 😅

[@sgtjarhead99]

I have a home gym. Tried to train for muscle ups a while back and it turned out bad for me. Didn't realize how low my ceiling was 🤣

[@WTiDeadlyfury]

After watching your video. I got it in the first try. I didnt use falsw grip too

[@jacobcalisthenics]

That’s amazing! Congrats! 💪

How the he'll did the closed captions say chicken wing Muslims?

[@abd-animation-22]

Sike i can do this easily Benefit of being externally thin lol

[@Cay9z]

Is still confusing to me, I can only do a muscle up with a medium band and a thin band. Instead of focusing on kipping muscle ups I would rather focus on increasing pulling strength with different pullups variations then I will be strong enough to do a muscle up with a thin band

[@mothmanmothman4909]

What's a chicken wing muslim🤔

[@ClementineFlFlFl]

Okay so STEP 1 bring a surveyor to measure the swing angle and make sure it's 40° not 30° not 50° but 40°!!!
