Therefore, continue with the progression of exercises to: Once you are strong enough to do toes to bar + hip to bar, you need to introduce a small swing to the movement. Learning the ring dip will be helpful for learning the Slow Muscle Up if you decide you’d like to learn that at some point too.Īn example of a dip progression to improve this part of the explosive muscle up could be: So what I recommend you do is work on harder and harder dip progressions, until you are able to do a strict ring dip. You’ll most likely be able to perform a strict dip with ease long before you’re able to do a strict explosive muscle up. If you intend on taking your calisthenics journey seriously, having some form of guidance and coaching is important. Do it ugly at first, make it pretty later.įor complete programs on the explosive muscle-up as well as many other movements such as the handstand, handstand push-ups, one-armed handstand, and more, head over to my app. Learning to do a skill, albeit in poor form, at first, is still very valuable for your training - as long as you are not putting yourself at risk of injury. It’s okay to kip at first but to be mindful to try and kip less and less as you progress more and more in your training, and get closer and closer to a strict explosive muscle up. However, if your purpose is not to do a strict muscle up, but rather just to get yourself over the bar, then I do recommend using a kip/”cheating” early on in your training. To call what you’re doing a strict explosive muscle up and then kip, would be incorrect. In a strict explosive muscle up, there is no kip, i.e.
BARBELL HIGH PULL HOW TO
As well, learning how to kip a little bit, and, as crazy as it sounds, cheat your way to your first muscle up, might actually be a good idea. The explosive muscle up also requires a lot of technique. In addition, it might be a good idea to learn the “over grip” or “half false grip”, which I will get into more later.
To be ready to train the muscle up you should first build up to an explosive and strong high pull up, as well as a deep and stable bar dip. In between is the transition which allows us to switch from a pull up, to a dip, and the transition is where most people struggle when performing the muscle up. The muscle up is a multi-directional skill, in that we need to first pull, and then push.
