I’ve gotta say, I love that you added we butter the bread with butter in your intro
What's the point of muscle ups?
oh my god, the first 5 seconds of the video is "we butter the bread with butter" -Kartoffelsalat D:
Hi, i need a "How to do 10 pull ups! tutorial to lead on to this video 🥲
WP man
You gotta appreciate the amount of muscle-ups this guy did in 12 minutes to explain how to do a muscle-up
💯 correct
Did my first muscle up today
@@kiwiammorgen7286 congratulations! 🥳
@@kiwiammorgen7286 hooping to get there in the next couple weeks
@Lars Henriksen I still haven't tried 😂 but I am working hard on my pull-ups to do at least 10
Pretty sure I killed a guy right where he stands in gta v
Lol 😂 😂

Strongest equipment ever, I drove my car 150 mph into those bars and they didn’t budge.
I’m 54 and just did my first muscle up thanks to the instruction on this video. I knew I had the strength because I could do 20 pull-ups. I just needed an easy explanation that clicked with my brain!
🔥
Well done! You're an inspiration. I'm 57 and have been trying to muscle up for a long time. You give me hope.
You give hope 👍
You're very fit, respect!!! When i reach 54 i hope im on that level too
Man thanks for the inspiration
I was able to do 17 pull ups, but was never really able to muscle up. Got my first one today after watching your video 💪💪
How long did it take you to figure it out?
@@sushil71 11:53
Heck yeah bro
i can do 30 pull ups but still no muscle ups. gotta try this today
So you can do chest pull up...not only at your chin that need less strenght
If there’s no sand, Just draw in the cement.
mona lisa if you do muscle ups you CAN draw in the cement, with just your finger!
If you can’t draw a line in the cement with your foot, you ain’t strong enough for a muscle up!
you draw it with your wrists, if they're strong
I approve this comment 🤣
**edit** I am wrong -> Its concrete not cement, cement is what goes in between bricks btw*
Just wanted to let you know I did my first muscle up after watching this video.
Fit and 50 ur swole af man. I’m surprised this is your first time doing one
I think it was more just the technique for me. But my back isn't my strongest body part and I've been working to bring it up. That may have played a role too.
CONGRATS!
Fit and 50
Thanks Michael!
What a bright, analytical athlete. Adam was never at a loss for words, moving seamlessly from technique to technique.
fax the transitions and explanations are smooth
I did my first muscle up in the first 3 minutes!!! It was so hype, all my boys were there. And my gosh did this video help. I can do 10 decent pull ups in a row for y'all that are wondering. I found the line and circle method most effective for me, and like he said in the video, it's all about timing the kip.
bro you must be strong cos i can do 20 pull ups but i couldnt muscle up today. i think its related to upper body strength which i lack
@@ZahdShah Work on your explosive strength maybe. Look up how to do high pull-ups or do each pull up as fast as you can on the way up without losing form 👍
@@ZahdShahsame bro, i can do 20 pull ups but idk i just struggle with doing a muscle up
@@ZahdShah Don't know if you're still pushing man, but training weighted pullups has helped me make my normal pullups way more explosive. Try mixing those with unweighted, and really focus on pulling hard for the unweighted ones.
@@number.2 no way you can do 20 good pull-ups and not muscle up😂

Dude 🤣
im glad i wwasnt the only one. that shit made me laugh
Hahahahahahahah didn’t notice it.
One day I'm going to do this. I'm at 260lb, I will lose weight & do this.
Edit: 1 year later. Dropped my weight to 176lb, my max pull up is 10 reps.
Yes you can, everything is just time
Believe in you bro
How are you progressing?
Thanos ay chill out ur not as funny as u think
@@iamAustinBrooks Thank you guys for being positive & for asking. I'm now at 220LBS. I can do atleast 5 pull ups. Not yet a muscle up. I'm taking it slow as I'm still focused on removing the excess weight that I have. But I am happy with the weight that I lost. Have a great day everyone!
I'm trying doing muscle up for years following several advices and achieving nothing, after watch this I go to the park at doing my first 5 muscle up in A ROW, amazing. Thanks dude, keep rocking!!!
Did my first 2 muscle ups today after watching your video. Thank you 💪🏾

I live in Europe, but recently went on vacation to California. Doing a muscle up on the same bar you're using was a pretty interesting feeling.

Best tutorial for a muscle up yet. The line and the circle and getting the chest over the bar is great advice
You explained this all so well! no long winded descriptions of support exercises, just great succinct down to earth instructions! Thankyou!
I’ve been wanting to do muscle ups for years. I literally stumbled across this video yesterday. I figured I’d try it after countless frustrating. I used all the tips and line and circle technique. I nailed it today!!! I finally did a muscle up! Hit two in a row. It’s getting easier now. So stoked to hit this long awaited milestone!!! This video helped me so much.
congrats my dude!

This is for the people who haven't managed to do the muscle-up.
I have been training for the muscle-up for 2 months now. I can do 20 wide pull-ups, 25 chest level pull-ups, 50 dips and 60 push-ups (these are all my maximum reps in a single go, nothing super great but this post isn't about me showing how strong I am). Anyways, videos keep mentioning how anyone who can do 10 pull-ups and 15 dips can achieve the muscle-up. But I still couldn't get it down. I was convinced that it was my technique.
I then came across this video. I'm not saying this is the best video in the world, but I can say that this video is all you need to understand the technique that is required for the muscle-up. I don't usually post comments but I figured that this will be helpful for the people still struggling with the muscle-up even though they know they have the strength. I went to the gym the next day after watching this video and managed to do 10 muscle-ups. This is my opinion: The advice of jumping TO the bar is so important. I always attempted the muscle-up from right under the bar and did not generate the right momentum. Remember to jump TO the bar. Tackle it. I found myself being able to get my elbows above the bar but I still couldn't lift myself up. This is what I think the video doesn't stress enough, you really need to kick up and bend your knees when you reach the "circle". I thought of tackling the movements separately, but it should be one fluid movement. Really think of the circle as a wall or a trampoline where you need to double jump - this will generate enough kick on the backswing to really push your chest over and bring you over the bar. This was the extra step I needed after failing for 10 minutes despite watching this video. You REALLY NEED TO KICK (legs should be straight and no whipping). So, remember... JUMP TO the bar and KICK! It should come easily after that.
Sorry for the long post, but I wish someone had stressed how important kicking was (while the video does do it, I didn't really understand it). Hope this highlight how important technique really is; do not be discouraged because you're not strong enough because you are. You've trained for this. Now go and feel the glory of all your training paying off!
Hi bro, your a beast! When did you start calisthenics?
@@giacbejo9920 Hey man, thanks haha. I have been doing calisthenics for 18 months now. Not too sure if my stats are that good considering I've been doing it consistently for 18 months...
@@adrian_ncm I'm at 12 pull ups now, after 4 months of training
Hey just to clarify this kick involves aggresively pulling my knees into my chest? Also do i do this at the same time as im pulling up into the bar?
@@calebloh360 I wouldn't say it's "aggressive", when I look back at recordings of my movement, it's rather fluid. You don't have to be aggressive, but just be more "aware" and "conscious" that you are kicking your feet outward and pulling your knees back to you. Don't think about it too hard though, when I did that, I started to break down my movements again and it was no longer smooth. I was thinking about what I should do with my hands, because I couldn't wrap around how I actually got myself up the bar (yes I was confused even after being able to do muscle-ups because I couldn't comprehend the technique) but the momentum really carries you through. That's why I say technique is important; hence the stress on fluidity and momentum. What settled my mind was that I just focused on my legs - being conscious when I kick out my feet and bring my knees back in. I believe your upper body knows what to do subconsciously (for me at least).
For your second question, after I reached the circle and kick out, I pull my upper body as I bring my knees up. You need the momentum to come naturally, and smooth. Imagine if you did them separately, it would distort the momentum and it wouldn't be as fluid. Hope this helps.
This definitely helped me after so many weeks of frustration. You broke it down at every point where I needed help and thanks to you I did my first muscle up today!
That's all I needed dude! Nice explanation. You covered all the things I missed. I had a lot of progress lately and did a lot of muscle ups and I knew I can do a muscle up with my current strength, thanks once again!

@@theworkshop6914 proud of you
Only the OG's get this joke. R.I.P. to the real cartoons...

So my take from this
1. Draw a circle
2. Draw a line
3. Go home
You're doing it wrong, you have to draw the line first
Draw a circle,draw a line and go to date a blond girl that passed by....

Sounds shit but I had a stroke and cancer by 19 now 26 my right side is still affected but I will get a muscle by the end of next year.
Neil Johnstone I believe you will bro. That's not shit at all, that's inspiring. That's that Mamba mentality. Keep it up and gluck.
RESPECT!!!! I started my passion & journey with Calisthenics this mid-way of September!!! I love it!!! My goal is 10 legit pull ups & the muscle up!! x)
Neil Johnstone good on you keep on practicing!
Good stuff man. My ex's brother had a very similar situation. Nutrition is the key and if you can get some b12 supplements. Sorry if this isn't helpful. You're an inspiration.
Respected!!! Don't worry. You can do that! Just keep workout and I believe you will find the way!

Thanks bro, you just perfectly broke it down here for the beginners of this AMAZING exercise
Dude!! Thank you!! I do weighted pullups and dips and have never been able to do a muscle up. Your first tip on the timing of the back swing had me do it first try!!

Man I've watched all kinds of calisthenics videos and admiring people for being able to do a muscle up but, it just seemed so hard to do one myself. I told myself I'll be able to do one in a couple of years after I've been consistently building up my strength. After watching 6 minutes of your video my mindset has COMPLETELY changed!! I'm about to go to the park today and hit the pull up bar because I'm feeling extra confident after watching your video. Thanks for sharing the info and breaking it down in simple terms for people like me. God bless.

Just wanted to say that this video allowed me to do my first muscle up. Had solid pull-up strength (20 reps). I used the line/circle technique and what he said about timing was dead right, pull up right as you start to swing back, and make sure to hook your chest over the bar!
