How to Slow Muscle Up - 3 AMAZING Tips!

[@TheParkitny]

This is a very good tutorial. Most other tutorials I have found do not put enough emphasis on the grip. It is by far the most important factor in my opinion to understand once you have the base strength level for the move. Props

[@AshtonFitness]

Thanks S! Really appreciate that you appreciate the details haha

[@scdwoods]

Best vid I've seen in a long time on explaining the strict muscle-up. Clear and logical instruction. Thanks Ashton

[@AshtonFitness]

Glad it was helpful dude!!

[@shervinm1]

Very clear video. Best one I’ve seen on the mechanics of the strict muscle up. Thanks! I love how you explain the need to push down on the bar to transition.

[@AshtonFitness]

Really glad you appreciated and learned something new :D hope you get it soon!

Best video I’ve seen on how to do a strict slow muscle up

[@radMisc]

this is pretty good but honestly the no. 1 cue that helps me is to think about consciously piking the legs up to create a moment arm and rotate me forward through the transition

[@JEEVANVLOGSKANNADA]

Thank you so much man I did my first slow muscle up today

[@AshtonFitness]

Awesome! Congratulations :D

[@hungvuong6885]

OMG i just did it! 😂 after 2 years of calisthenics, I did not even know you have to keep pulling until your chest is over the bar. That was what hindered me from doing the slow muscle up. You are amazing sir

That's awesome man, glad you got it!

[@jojoacuzar6859]

True

[@thelearner911]

Just watched this. Very informative but I’m still stuck on one part, the TRANSITION part. Basically, I can pull myself up using a false grip, but where I’m stuck is how to “flick” both elbows up to complete the movement. I can easily do normal muscle ups without thinking about the elbows getting over the bar, but it appears I just can’t fathom how it’s done on a slow and controlled MU. Is it my tricep strength is lacking or what is it? Appreciate an explanation, thanks man.

[@AshtonFitness]

One thing that helps me a lot is really talking the elbows in when doing the transition. I tuck them in as tightly as possible. Makes all the difference

[@juanicorubia438]

[@lionelschmidt01]

just finished the video, my elbows already hurts lmao

[@anambivalentenemy]

Are there any prerequisites before learning slow muscleup Ashton? Regular muscle ups,ring muscle ups,a number of strict pullups etc? Or the only thing needed is the wrist/forearm strength to hold a pseudo false grip/overgrip?

[@AshtonFitness]

Hey AmbivalentEnemy :D. Yes, I'd recommend that you get comfortable with muscle ups before attempting this. I can only do about 4 muscle ups, so you don't need to be able to do that many. However, they need to be good form muscle ups and you need to be comfortable doing them. You can't do this if you've JUST learned the muscle up. Gotta strengthen it and let it marinate first :D. I probably should have been clearer about this in the tutorial. Next tutorial I make, I'll be clearer about the prerequisites. Hope that helped!

[@anambivalentenemy]

@@AshtonFitness Yeah,it helped. Thanks for the answer!

[@AshtonFitness]

@@anambivalentenemy Awesome! Glad I could help :D

[@rojcouz2267]

fuck this is hard i cant do the transition at all XD even the negative i cant do it i think i should train regular more muscle ups before doing the slow ones XD. TY for the tips very helpful !! il do it eventually !!!

[@emretimurc]

Yooo Ashton. I can do this MU, but I can’t do strict muscle ups, please help!🤷🏽‍♂️ Nevermind: I should master the transition part, thank you bro👊🏼💪🏼

[@AshtonFitness]

Hey Emre! Can you do normal muscle ups? Tip: explosive pull ups really help with muscle ups!

[@emretimurc]

Ashton Fitness. I can only do the slow muscle ups, not the normal one. Thanks for the tip! I’ll send you a video tonight. Thanks💪🏼

[@chopwoodcarrywater49531]

can you use a pseudo-false grip doing the negative transition portion or will the regular false grip translate when attempting the pseudo false grip muscle up? I came close to a pseudo-false grip muscle up today and I couldn't get my elbows and chest over the bar to save my life. I did a pull day yesterday so maybe I'll have better luck when I try fresh.

[@emafrancisco1808]

I think you can, if you have strength enough to control the transition part of the negative muscle up, i have not the strength yet and in that moment i fall faster, putting much tension on my wrists when i reach the bottom, but if you can do it slowly i think is ok

[@sgproductions805]

My bar is really thick at the park it feels alot diffrent than my doorway bar, And the pseudo overhand grip I tried it once and it felt very discomforting maybe I should try it again and experiment with the position now that I can see what the hand is supposed to look like. Question do you press your fingers into the bar?

[@AshtonFitness]

It will definitely be harder on a thicker bar. My suggestion is avoid anything that causes discomfort. Yes, I personally press my fingers into the bar a little bit when I'm using the pseudo false grip.

[@sgproductions805]

@@AshtonFitness Thanks bro!

[@user-uy9pd6dr5y]

Can anyone tell me which part do slow MU train?

[@AshtonFitness]

Back, biceps, forearms, abs, chest, triceps. But I wouldn't recommend it as a muscle-building skill. It's just for show

[@tinman6076]

Do you think learning explosive pull ups helps with learning the slow muscle up? Or should I start training the transition negatives first

[@AshtonFitness]

Explosive pull ups can help build your back strength, but the progressions in this video are progressions that I'd recommend when learning the slow muscle up.

[@mcmagdiel3277]

I’m superr close but I can’t get the transition

Very good vid. One thing the false and overhand grips have in common other than eliminating the need to rotate is that they shorten the lever arm going into the transition vs. standard grip.
