Thank you 😊🙌🏼

This video was the one that got me over the line after months of trying! Many thanks from Australia!

[@MikeZouth]

Happy to hear that brother! Can I ask you what tips got you over the line?

[@sparkandstone5692]

@@MikeZouth the arch to hollow was the key. Gave me the extra momentum to get over the top. Was trying since the start of the year. Then I got five out. Then three a few days later. Need decent rest in between training days for sure.

@@sparkandstone5692 NICE! Happy for you

Im going to add this band stretch especially for my shoulder as sometimes its a little sore

[@MikeZouth]

It's really good 💪🏼

Hi, I try pull from the biceps and open to hollow body tips and have been a game changer in my technique, I could make my first time 5 x 5 reps (5' rest in between) with 15 kg resistant band.. many thanks really appreciate it!

[@MikeZouth]

That's great! So happy for your progress 🥳💪🏼

Thanks man

You're welcome!

[@Ksamenk]

today that happened to me, lack of explosiveness, next time I cancel

[@MikeZouth]

How was the workout?

[@Ksamenk]

day after 6 min kettllebell snatch 24 kg, and work out 4x (1 pull up max strength 1 28 kg 3 ' rest then 2 muscle ups 3' rest) first round try to do 2 muscle ups, impossible, then try 15 kg resistant band hardly could make it for the 4 rounds

[@MikeZouth]

Sounds hard 😅💪🏼

[@DevinsCalisthenics]

I took one of your prev suggestions of wearing gloves and it was a huge difference. I chose grippy gloves because I find it easier to do with a false grip. I think my max reps went from 8 to 11 with gloves!

[@MikeZouth]

That's great to hear! 3 extra reps when it comes to muscle-ups is huge :)

[@DevinsCalisthenics]

@@MikeZouth I thought so too. And they also were great for handstand balance on parallettes. 👍👍

[@MikeZouth]

Nice!

[@GregCullen-nh5kv]

I also have a question about whats better about having straight arms for MU versus using bent arms: I have made the bad habit (trying to break) of swinging in with bent arms before I go into backswing/hollow body/explode. I have found sometimes that getting that tug in my chest right before the backswing helps my load up that potential energy before I rip it back and over. So the question is: Is straight arms better than slightly bent?? what is happening in those two approaches and how does the power come from the straight arms? I cant really understand what is happening with that. Thanks Mike 👍🏼

[@MikeZouth]

Hi Greg and good question! I would say that having bent arms makes the muscle-up easier because it shortens the distance from the bar. If we want to work towards the cleanest technique we want to have complete straight arms in the bottom position. There's no extra power that comes from straight arms but it's just best practice if we want a clean muscle-up. Does that make sense?

[@GregCullen-nh5kv]

Oh ok wow, good thing I was checking this I am about to go to my park and practice. Yes the shortening makes sense. @@MikeZouth

[@MikeZouth]

@@GregCullen-nh5kv Have a great workout 😊💪🏼

[@GregCullen-nh5kv]

Thanks man I did, and I also use the same tips to help guys get there MUs there too, I will drop your name there @@MikeZouth

Sounds great brother 😊🙌🏼💪🏼

I’m from India and I have a suggestion for you. Your knowledge is awesome but accordingly the voice quality of your video is not matching up with that knowledge.

[@MikeZouth]

Thank you! Hmm that's strange, I use one of the best microphones. What was wrong with the sound? Too low?

[@CallBack-gw5tw]

@@MikeZouth voice quality is good people from india don't understand european english 😅

[@alkanhel]

So the "slamming the trunk of a car" move that everyone is mentioning is not exactly right... It's regular pullup in to it

[@MikeZouth]

There are so many different 🔑 to the muscle-up. What works for some might not work for others. What have been working best for you?

[@alkanhel]

@@MikeZouthnothing works for me I am far from successful muscle-up😅just gathering all information, thanks for your tips

[@MikeZouth]

Great to hear! Just reach out if you have any more questions! And good luck on your muscle-up journey

[@CallBack-gw5tw]

you need to pull up faster

[@CallBack-gw5tw]

slamming the trunk of a car is good for high explosive pull ups
