[@jimreadey4837]

Hey, did I stumble into the old guys club...? I'm closer to 66 than 65, myself, and started on the journey toward muscle ups over the past year. Then I stopped.... probably for various reasons. Partly, I began to look at the risk/reward ratio, and wasn't sure what it'd gain me to get all the way there (other than the satisfaction of achieving a goal, and muscle-up bragging rights). Related to this, I would occasionally experience unfamiliar joint aches -- elbow, mostly, but some shoulder, as well -- that lasted for weeks, even when I dialed back. I'm not trying to discourage anyone from pursuing muscle ups. I'm still kind of interested in them, actually. I'm really more wondering if anyone else has done much contemplation and/or research around the usefulness -- and precautions -- regarding this exercise. I'd appreciate hearing your thoughts.

Hi I am 67 yrs old and currently on the green band. had a small set back and had to lay off for 2 months as I hurt my shoulder but slowly getting back into it. Over doing it with injury happens to a lot of people so as you say It takes a lot of time to progress with patience. So being an insulin diabetic 45 yrs and heart attack 5 yrs ago at the gym your video gives me inspiration Cheers from Herman New Zealand😊

[@funwithcalisthenics]

Your story is truly inspiring. Against all odds you’ve battled through. Incredible. You inspire me!

[@sheffsteel7]

Shoulder injuries are quite common. It's important when doing pull-ups that you use your back and not your arms. So shoulders back and down, then tense your back leaning back slightly, tense your core, then pull up, focussing on using your back. The exercise is much easier and safer and ensures your shoulder is perfectly aligned in its socket. I used to have shoulder inflammation and soreness, so in the short term use a ice pack 4 or 5 times a day, these can be bought off Amazon. Also it helps to build up the muscles in the upper back just behind the shoulder by laying on your front and with your arms out by your side raising very light dumbbells.

[@chipparker3950]

Competed in gymnastics at the college level and even at 60 did 10 pull ups , reversed grip and did another 10. Moved and no access to a heart trail but still biked and swam . At 80 set up a chin up bar and couldn't do one. Discovered the bands and almost back to being able to do 1. Message is: Use it or lose it. Muscle is a factor in longevity and avoiding disability..

[@tiny.bronco]

Mate you're a deadset legend! Think this is the third or fourth video of yours I've watched this morning. I'm 37 this year, tried learning muscle ups in my early 20s but gave up after a couple of months of floundering about. You've got me pumped to have another crack and land it by the end of the year. Bookmarked your channel. Thanks for the great content!

[@funwithcalisthenics]

Adrian, that’s so good to hear. So pleased you are pumped to get it. So much of it is technique, and the bands are a great way to learn. It’s still not easy, but they certainly make it possible. Pleased you watched so many videos! Just uploaded another about weighted pull-ups, that may help too.

[@multechpro7151]

i managed to do my first muscle up few months ago, if you can achieve 10 clean pull ups without kipping and still cant do one muscle up , so its either technique or most likely just in your head

[@MartinFunk]

What a charming and realistic approach to that subject. Being 55 and aiming for some skills in that same direction does help a lot in identifying with what you demonstrated in the video. One an and a half years ago I wasn't even able to maintain a dead hang, not even for a second. People telling, that's just what it means to become old. On new year I came up with my personal challenge, by the end of the year I wanted to be able to maintain a one minute dead hang. With daily routines, every day, it took me 9 month to succeed in it. 👍 But what's more important is that I experienced that my body is reacting, resonating und giving great feedback on the little challenges I ask from it. Plus that 60 seconds challenge was just one indicator, even greater are the side effects of it, other movements are suddenly coming in view and some even in range.

[@funwithcalisthenics]

Wow, that was, great to read. You’ve come so far already, over those 9 months. You should be really proud. Those basics will open doors to more good things to come. Exciting times ahead for you. Keep the consistency going!

[@pnchong9596]

Thank you for your videos. I laughed when I saw your first one, because I can relate with your attempts. Unlike you, I am now 71 years old, and I am crazy enough to want to do a muscle up! I am now doing the simplest and most elementary of rings muscle up and enjoying it. But my goal is the bar muscle up. Working at it! This video tells me I have to use more bands, because you at 55 years old needed more than the green band! No wonder I could only get to pull to a slightly below nipple level with the green band! Well, I have learnt a lot from this video instruction. I will try. Even if I could not eventually manage a bar muscle up, I am sure I will still be stronger!

[@funwithcalisthenics]

My earlier video (three years ago) makes me laugh too. I can now recognise how much of a completely unskilled beginner I really was! No idea, just enthusiasm. So pleased you have benefitted from the recent video. Even at 71! That’s just brilliant. Please do let me know how you are progressing. This is so inspiring to hear that I’m reaching out to all ages.

Great video, I was thinking of doing something like this for my elderly father, he’s 83 and on a walking frame very bad on his feet after a back operation, But I was thinking of making a bar on the wall like you re one, and if he’s sitting under it I was going to get a harness for him with a resistance band connected to the overhead bar so it will help him so squats to strengthen up his leg muscles also having a handrail either side so he can support his arms

Thank you. I need to get a better bat first. I have a stand so all I can do for now is the pull ups part but I shall start working on it. I am 65 y.o.

[@funwithcalisthenics]

That’s good to hear. I wish you all the best! Let me know how you get on.

[@peterkempf5422]

This is the best muscle up tutorial I’ve seen anywhere! I’m 66 and working on my pull ups so when the time is right I’ll use your technique to proceed to muscle ups. Thanks

[@funwithcalisthenics]

Amazing, thanks so much for you comment. I wish you well, and the best of health.

[@ZenMonkeyDigital]

Awesome video. Exactly what I've been looking for! Clear description, clear training, excellent presentation. I'm 58 and working on my muscle-up and other calisthenics skills. It's so much fun and challenging. Your video fills a void in all the instruction videos I've been watching. Thank you!

[@jasminderbhatia]

I am 59 and got a great inspiration. Will definitely send you a video of mine when I am ready to pull up without a band. Thanks

[@funwithcalisthenics]

Please do!

[@grantfryer407]

m8 im approaching 63 and damaged my shoulder trying to do pull ups and now I know why..I never did warmups that was 3yrs ago but I'd give anything to do what You've done.. you've inspired me to try again 🇬🇧👍

[@funwithcalisthenics]

When I first got in to this, 5 years ago, I started trying various top level skills without warning up, damaged my shoulder and that set me back 6 months. I guess we both learnt the hard way. Hope you are ok now.

I am 34 and now I know I can do muscle ups thanks to your example. Thank you so much for this demonstration!

[@funwithcalisthenics]

You're so welcome!

[@MeinGoogleAccount]

Thank you for your video 🙂 I am 47 and have just decided to try calisthenics. Indeed, I had some concerns about whether I might be a bit too old for "this stuff", but looking at you just got me more motivated. So thanks for that 🙂 Wish you the best and keep it up.

[@funwithcalisthenics]

Never too old in my opinion. I’ve done far more than I ever thought possible when I first started this. The trick is to get started.

[@jimspelman8538]

I am 57 and working very hard toward my goal of doing muscle ups! Thanks for inspiring me.

[@funwithcalisthenics]

You can do it! I really hope my next video is the one that explains the kipping technique in a way that helps you get it!

[@911f]

Antony, you are my new idol and I just subscribed to your channel. This is Federico from Spain, I'm 46 years old, I'm fit, but muscle up and handstand have been on my mind for a long time as challenges to complete. I decided to start my journey 1 week ago and this video is by far the best I have found not only regarding technique, but also motivation. Thanks for sharing your experience, I hope I can learn a lot from your channel. 💪🤓

Great Video. 66 and have doing band assisted pull ups. After seeing muscle ups on KZbin became obsessed with watching technique videos. Was thinking i have to use bands on muscle ups as well. Can't believe your video came across my feed. Can't wait to get to the gym

I was today years old when I learned the thicker resistance bands stretch that far. I have a thick one but didn’t think it would go far enough to use for assisted muscle up so I’m excited to go try this now! Great video thanks a lot

[@michaelguy7168]

Love to see the commitment to learning a new skill, really satisfying. I’m 60 and am really enjoying CrossFit and love the challenge of learning how to do some of the exercises, took me a year or so to get the bar muscle up. Would have progressed much faster with your system. I am now working on perfecting ring muscle ups.

[@funwithcalisthenics]

I love the ring muscle up, although I haven’t tried it the CrossFit way, only the Calisthenics less swinging method. Last year I cracked the slow version, but my god it takes a lot of practise.

I’m turning 58. In 30 days and it’s a life goal of mine to conquer the muscle up. Your video has given me the tips I think I need to make this possible. I will keep you posted

Hey, I am 53 in January. Right now I have some olympic weightlifting goals, but as soon as I have achieved them, I will set out to get that first muscle-up. I find your videos both highly informative and very motivational. Keep it up, I look forward to seeing the next one.

[@funwithcalisthenics]

Thanks for watching and I am pleased you are looking forward to the next one. I’ll be making a video about trying for 30 pull-ups next, then after that.. more muscle ups!

[@antonioavendanoaunon6090]

You are a good athlete! There are people that say that age is only a number, congratulations!

[@benbeecher5339]

Good job and thanks for the tips. I’m 67 be 68 in December. I’ve been doing planks and started running in June. I can easily do two hour jogs in the morning now. You’ve motivated me to start working my upper body now. Thanks again for the advice.

[@funwithcalisthenics]

You can do it! Start slowly, like you probably did with your running. Push-ups are a great start… keep your elbows tucked in to protect the joints.. pull-ups are excellent too.. good luck, and keep going… until someone tells us to stop! 😂

[@juanpalomino7043]

Huge respect for what you do. I’m 51 yo. At the time I’m writing this comment is 6 months after my shoulder reconstruction surgery (right shoulder). Hopefully I’ll get that strong.

[@funwithcalisthenics]

It does put a lot of strain in the shoulders so don’t over do it! Hope you recover well.

[@Simon-kh2dd]

Hi Anthony. Fantastic video, I am now 57. I am just pursuing 3+ pull ups with a muscle up being my ultimate goal. My Biggest issue is recovery and tiredness. I seem to tire really quickly! Really enjoyed the real world approach...Thanks

[@funwithcalisthenics]

Hi Simon, thanks so much for your message. I pleased you like the real world approach, from a guy without a six pack! I too started at 3 pull-ups, when I was about 55. So I totally relate to how you feel. It takes time, realistically could be a few years, but that ok, because along the way you’ll get fitter and stronger, so you’ve nothing to lose. Just enjoy the process and celebrate every little win. Think about eating healthily and getting some light aerobic exercise too. Over time the compound interest of upping your game will bring results you’ll be proud of. 💪😊

[@terencefaison8853]

Great video. 61yrs old, never considered attempting a muscle up. Need a new challenge ... useful video. Will consider this program.

That’s great news. Having goals beyond the immediate goal, will keep you pushing forward. The biggest thing I learnt was the benefits of staying consistent with your training. Excited for you.

[@secrettunnel]

I've been training pull ups with bands for over a year. I began the journey at age 49 with the goal of achieving the muscle up. Over time I was able to decrease the band size and get a pretty high pull, but never able to get a muscle up. So after watching your video (saw the first one too), I was inspired to start adding bands until I could get it. I have to use 3 bands and I can get 2. But at last, a starting point! Been looking for that for a long time.

[@funwithcalisthenics]

That’s so good to hear.. maybe a little visualisation will help. Picturing yourself doing your first unassisted one!

[@secrettunnel]

@@funwithcalisthenics Now that I'm getting my form down I'm already down to 2 bands.

Thanks so much. I really hope it helps you get it.

[@OneBlueLagoon]

You're an inspiration. I wish my folks would watch you and take fitness seriously, but regardless I'm in it for myself, I'm still on my way to the first muscle up but hopefully won't be long...

[@funwithcalisthenics]

You sound like a caring decent man. We can want, but we can’t control others health and fitness. The desire has to come from within. So be the best version of you, and hope that those that you care about follow your example. Focus on yourself.. you’ll get there.

[@hotsky83]

This is awesome! I've never been able to do one even when I used to do 20+ pull ups. Now I see how techniques is #1 here. Will definitely give it a go
