MUSCLE UP: Bar VS Rings (Which one should you start with?)

[@GymnasticsMethod]

Which one did/do you find easier?

[@MicromediaDirector]

Ring muscle up was easier to learn and gave me the foundation strength to do an explosive pull-up (chest above the bar). Plus doing ring dips in the dip phase of the ring muscle up is more difficult & deep than on the straight bar. Great video content. Keep up the inspiring work.

[@GymnasticsMethod]

@@MicromediaDirector Great! Thanks for sharing! :) Will do!!

[@TheNewCrap]

I started with the bar muscle up mostly because i didn´t have the rings, but i always felt that the bar was easier than the rings mostly because it mostly require strength not so much technique.

[@peterbalogh2646]

I've bought the rings a week ago. I've decided to do one day with rings, one day for core and legs and what I have the mood for, kettle bell and so on. Today was my third of fourth rings training. Started with pull ups 3×5 with 15 weight vest. Then vest off, wide pull ups, then dips. I thought I do some false grip practicing and about the third pull up like this, I though I attempt the transition, and voila, I MADE IT!!!!! My first ring muscle up, and as a true power move, no momentum or kick or anything like that!!! I am soooooo happpyyyyy!!! Thanks Adam! You have huge role in this!

[@eminescinescu]

well I can do bar muscle up, not perfect but I can do around 10, but 0 muscle up on the rings :(((( I can't do the transition on the rings, I don't know why...

[@KavYT]

Just this week i actually managed to do my first rings muscle up at home! my max is 3 because at that point, i feel some discomfort from my elbows which doesn't cause a lot of pain but makes me worried about injuring myself if i push myself too hard. Definitely will be doing the rehab exercises you talked about in the past. These videos really are a huge help 🙏

[@GymnasticsMethod]

Wow, congrats! A little pain in the beginning can be normal, just keep it gradual and do warm-up and prehab before practice.

[@dmitrijsjemeljanovs]

Thanks, Adam! Totally agree with you 👍Despite having same number of pros and cons, hard parts of ring muscle ups are much easier to deal with

[@GymnasticsMethod]

👍👍🙏

This is the best muscle up comparison and breakdown video that I’ve ever seen. The ring muscle up is my goal, so I’m always on the lookout for training tips from KZbin. Btw, I also subscribed and joined GymnasticsMethod membership program. Thank you for your dedication to honesty and providing a high quality, yet achievable, approach to training.

[@ryanfieldflower602]

Can you please let me know if the program is worth it? I'm a beginner and I'm trying to find a program that is helpful

[@ryanmaravilla1338]

@@ryanfieldflower602 I think his training method is very smart and, more important, safe. He definitely emphasizes warmup and prehab to avoid injury. It’s a marathon, not a race, yet achievable if you put in the work. Meaning, It’s not a quick program if you’re aspiring to accomplish some of the toughest calisthenics moves. You can try the most basic program for free, or you can simply subscribe on a monthly basis (which averages to just over $1 per day) to access all of the content.

[@leofrez2]

This guy definitely deserves way more subscribers...

[@staminaadvancedplumberspty6167]

True

[@GymnasticsMethod]

Thanks guys, I’m honored. Honestly I don’t really care about subscribers. I just do my thing and want to have a good community. If it’s 10 people it’s 10 people.

[@mb5970]

you are an absolute machine - well done sir

[@franktaubenkraut2217]

I'm psyched that I finally found some bars to fully practice muscle ups. I've been looking all summer. My gym has bars but no room to go up and over. All outside bars have been removed (liability reasons?) or shortened for children. Your muscle ups are so smooth with no kipping. I'd be thrilled to get up and over with a small kip. I'll watch some of your muscle up videos next. Thanks.

[@GymnasticsMethod]

You’ll get there! I’ll upload another useful video about muscle up this week!

[@mattpeters6224]

This is the best channel for this type of information by far. Your presentation is very very good. Thank you

[@GymnasticsMethod]

Glad you think so!

[@rob4601]

I got one. Finally. Legend. Thank you

[@josepaolobautista9797]

Very helpful and comprehensive. Thank you!

[@SightWard]

I'm learning muscle up through both rings and flat bar. So far i've done 1 on flat-bar but i don't get anywhere near on the rings lol

[@AnthonyVenmans]

Ring Muscle Up requires a good false grip, but besides that, a slow ring muscle up is very easy. For bar muscle up I lack the explosive stenght to get my chest high enough above the bar, but with all those great tutorials, there is no wayout that I can't start working on the explosive bar pull ups to get my first muscle up on bars!

[@Mrgetdat30bro]

bar vs rings series?👀

[@DiegoJutsu]

False grip was such a challenge to me that I had to go for bar first. I was able to do a somewhat strict one in bar but I’m basically working on weighted and high pull-ups atm to get the silky smooth muscle up. I guess I should really work on that false grip but last time My wrist hurt a lot and I don’t get that with the bar 🤔

[@GymnasticsMethod]

You’ll get it!

[@edphab]

The rings muscle up and bar muscle up are haunting me in my dreams honestly. Thank you for the invaluable information you are giving to us. Just one question though, do you plan on publishing your book in english? I would definitely buy it

[@GymnasticsMethod]

Yes I will!

[@clddouglas]

Headed over here due to your instagram and so pleased I did! Thank you, I can tell this is going to help me improve 🙏🏻

[@GymnasticsMethod]

🙏🙏💪💪

[@702bartending6]

Can you please make a video on how to do perfect ring dips. Tips and techniques. Thank you. I really love your videos and have helped me a lot.

[@GymnasticsMethod]

Will do!

[@jamescrotty2053]

Such an informative video. Also your muscle ups are simply glorious

[@GymnasticsMethod]

I’m glad you liked it! Thanks! :)

[@Saiarts_yt]

I was able to do the negative muscle ups but not the concentric muscle ups. *Edit* on a playground rings that was about my neck height.

[@GymnasticsMethod]

Check out the checkpoint video! That will help a lot with the concentric!

[@elicohen8156]

Awesome Video! Can you make a vid about progressive overload and how to avoid plateaus?

[@GymnasticsMethod]

Will do!

[@dontforget1966]

I can do 11 strict ring muscle ups... But o struggle so much doing on the bar, my pr is 6. My wrists and arms feel terrible doin on the bar

[@GymnasticsMethod]

It’s harder right. Pulling pulling pulling strength

[@macsantos3882]

hahah I found myself having three of your videos in three different tabs...

[@GymnasticsMethod]

haha great! I'm glad you found them interesting!

[@JosecarlosPereira-us8ge]

Good

[@JSTpacek]

My goal is to learn them on rings first.

[@keirmoorman1042]

Great video.

[@GymnasticsMethod]

Thank you!

[@jallojalloh]

Where can I buy your books?

[@GymnasticsMethod]

At the moment only in Hungary! But they’ll be published in english, that’s one of my mid term projects!

[@showrobber]

the ring muscle up was so much easier for me, in bar muscle up u need more timing and technique. i think the ring muscle up recquires more pure strength than technique

[@SABARI95969798]

Could make avideo on nutrition

[@GymnasticsMethod]

Might do it later!

[@syedhaseebhussain7709]

Tell how to get the pull up more explosive ?

[@GymnasticsMethod]

This week’s video! :)

[@The_Fit_ness_monster]

I always thought the ring MU was the pinnacle… until I learned it, I find ring MU much easier than the bar MU.

[@GymnasticsMethod]

Yes most people experience the same

[@ronakkarmakar4562]

Guys I need your help, I am from India and I am a really skinny guy like I want to build muscle but I just don't know where to start, I don't have money to get a gym membership. So if anyone could give me any recommendations, on how to build muscle at home, it would be really helpful. Btw I am 16 years old.

[@GymnasticsMethod]

You can find home workout videos on the channel!

[@hjkhhjkh3635]

Bro I don’t know if I do support holds wrong on gymnastic rings, but they press against the back of forearm and leave me bruises on it. Is it normal?

[@GymnasticsMethod]

Yes it can happen. You can do it with no bruises if you really pay attention but it happens most of the time. Long sleeves can be a solution!

[@hjkhhjkh3635]

@@GymnasticsMethod thank you for replying. When you say if you pay attention, does this mean that you can do the support holds without the back of your forearm touching the rings?

[@jjrj962]

The rings look easier to work with, for God sake a guy 110kg did 1 on your video

[@GymnasticsMethod]

Yessir! :) no limits :)

[@Cris_GreED]

Great video

[@GymnasticsMethod]

Thank you!
