The Muscle Up Tutorial (With Resistance Bands) Made Easier.

- The Muscle-Up is the calisthenics skill, that every body weight fitness enthusiast or athlete wants to get. This video is a follow-up to the video I made three years ago, when I was aged 55, and got my first Muscle-Up. That video has now been viewed over 400,000 times on CZcams, so I thought I should make this follow-up video. I wasn't expecting this video to reach over 1.1 million views in its first 3 months.
Follow along with this tutorial, and progress through the progressions to get the Muscle-Up.
I will reply to every comment, so please let me know how you get on and if you find this video useful. I have tried to keep it simple.

I'm 55 and training for the muscle -up. This is by far the most effective video I have seen on the subject (and I've seen many by some strong people). Great job and thanks 👏
That’s the best news I’ve had today. Thank you!
So pleased this video has reached out to so many people looking for a simple explanation.
I was 65 when I was able to 5 in a row...now i. 73 and after a few set backs I hope to nail this again
Great video thanks.any link to the green band to buy
I’ve set up a link in the description below to am Amazon shop front. There you can buy the exact same bands as used in this video.
It's good to see a "normal" person achieving this. It gives us older normal guys, and gals, motivation to get out and do it. Thanks.
Well I really hope so. Thanks for watching and supporting.
И здоровье спины на долгие годы
I trust this guy more than 90% of fitness influencers
Hey, I massively appreciate that. I do try and keep everything very real, no BS, good and bad, just real life.. so your comment means a lot to me.
Facts
Hi! I am 66 years old and on my way to achieve the muscle up. Your videos are an inspiration for me. Great work!
Wow, that’s a great age to be doing a muscle up. Sending you strength and commitment. That’s super cool.
65 and getting started. Well done. Inspired.
How many chins can you currently do? How much do you weigh?
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.
Excellent demo well done I'm 73 and do pull ups only, will try the "musle up"
Very well explained, thanks
I was 59 last August and decided to try and do a muscle up on my 60th birthday, have progressed from 0 to 4-5 pullups at present and still pushing on, thanks for the tips.
That is awesome! Keep going. And if it takes longer than anticipated, no worries, it just does sometimes. Inspiring stuff!
4-5 pull-ups is infinitely more than zero! Good job, brother!!
man kann auch eine Wippe darunterstellen mit Gegengewichten.. dadurch weniger SCHWUNGARBEIT mehr du weißt schon was.. Muskelarbeit..😉
Good idea!
Well you doing better than me. I'm in good shape and 28 but for some reason just can't get past 5 pullups
At 31, I'm learning muscle-ups, and I've found this video to be the best by far compared to others I've watched.
Thank you for leaving that comment. I’m so pleased you found it useful.
Hello! I started my journey during the start of the 2020 Pandemic and literally gave up on my Muscle Up goal. Because I thought I was too old. I don’t know how I stumbled upon your video, but seeing this has reinvigorated me at 67 yrs…..Thank you for posting and tips. Starting today 11/27/2023 I’m back on my journey with a no quit attitude! 😊
❤
Wow, love your attitude and determination. Thanks for your comment. I wish all the success with your muscle up!!
Let us know how you are doing!
Yes. How did it go/is it going?
@@kinhelfa Yeah, it’s going great, I’m not gonna give up no matter what even though it hard to stay motivated!
I can do muscle up with ease and I am 30 years old. I would love to still be able of doing them at the age of 55 and I hope I will but learning them at that age is a great achievement. Nothing but respect for you sir ❤️
Thank you so much. If you keep doing them, they will be super strict by the time you are my age. I wish I had started doing them years ago.
@@funwithcalisthenicsat what age you did start doing calisthenics sir? I don't see many 58 or even 48 years old can do such a feat like what you are doing now..what a great achievement it is..congratulation.. i am 41 now..started calisthenics since i was 35 years old...i am now able to do 8x3 pull up at 90kg bodyweight.. how long it will take for me to go 15 reps? Should i down my weight a bit or i can try to increase my strength without going slimmer? I am 175cm and have 25% of bf
@chemistrylover822 I have been into Calisthenics for 4 years. It’s difficult to say, but, sounds like you need to increase your strength a bit. Increase your number of days you train, train for longer maybe.. ?
@@funwithcalisthenics thank you sir..sure i will..😊
I master it first time age 58😇 and lost it?
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😊
Your story is truly inspiring. Against all odds you’ve battled through. Incredible. You inspire me!
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.
Well done, really good tips on the use of the bands. I am 64 and practice these down at the local CrossFit gym. It is really good that people of a similar age are getting involved in this kind of work. Very good verbal communication as well. Good health to you and your followers 👍
Thanks so much for your warm and kind words.
yeah his communication is stellar
I appreciate you taking the time to help people that are trying to get to the next level.
It’s a pleasure.. I get fun from doing this, if it helps others that’s a bonus.
Briilsnt so helpful ,truly, had a broken next year's ago, and since June 2021 one frozen shoulder, then the opposite one the same, but turned the corner now, right shoulder still not there completely , but working on dead hangs now, then to arch hang, slowly building up, really appreciate that video
Great job! Consistency and determination will take anyone a long way. This is great inspiration for anyone who thinks they are too old. Continue with this and you'll be doing muscle ups for decades to come!
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!
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.
This video is a great motivator and exactly what I was looking for. The explanation and demonstration is very detailed, quite soothing to hear. Thank you so much, for the time and effort that was put into this. May peace be with you and greetings from Texas, USA! 🙏🏽❤️
Hello Carlos from Texas. Wow, a great comment, thank you. I have just made a sequel to that video. Just doing the editing this weekend and I’ll upload it on Monday. Hope it’s equally as well received.
@@funwithcalisthenics thank you so much for your response and can’t wait for the sequel.
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!
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.
The most useful and helpful tutorial for the muscle up that I have ever seen.
Wow, thanks!
Love the video and love the fact that you’re still going strong! Thanks for posting 😃
You are very welcome buddy! Hopefully many years left to go!
Awesome to see a man of your age so strong and agile, it really shows how usefull being in shape can be as you age. Inspirational, and good info, thanks!
I appreciate that!
I am impressed not only with your ability but with your determination as well. You have sparked a challenge within me to do this as I have just walked into my 7th decade.
Wow, you are no spring chicken, love your enthusiasm. Take care, build up gently.
Great tutorial and clear imstruction on how to get it done.
Huge respect for showing us that age limits have been way too overrated in the past and rhat we're capable of doing a great many things, if we free ourselves from those barriers in our minds. This goes beyond muscle ups.
🙏🏻
Wow, that’s deep, but yes, you are so right. It can open many doors and makes us realise we are capable of so much more.
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.
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!
You know as they say old is gold and definitely goes with the knowledge passed on here. Great videos just subscribed
That was so good to ready, thank you.
Your advice about the swing was very clear and helpful. Thank you!
You are welcome, pleased it was useful.
Love the demo and explanation of how you do the muscle up. Imagining closing a vehicle hood was a splendid example. Time and patience to achieve indeed. Many thanks☺️💪🏾
Glad you liked it!, and thank you for your comment.
I'm in the process of installing a pull up bar in my basement. My intent is to increase my strength by 'hanging' for short intervals and increase from that point. I've got a few years on you, and feeling good is important to me. These days, we need to be our own care takers and avoid feeling bent over and cane-like. Everything is training. Forward we go !!
Excellent, sounds like you have a plan. Totally agree, we need to be looking out for ourselves and our own care takers. Love that concept!
So do I.
I would like to instal a bar but do not know measurements. Could you advise me please? 8:48
Youre a legend brother! Im 35, outta shape trynna get back on track with calisthenics. After watching and listening to you, i have no excuse! Thanks for sharing!
You are very welcome.
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
Amazing, thanks so much for you comment. I wish you well, and the best of health.
Recently found your channel, and I've been binge watching your videos ever since! More power to you, man! ❤️💯🙏
Wow, thanks so much. Today I uploaded two video! Really unusual, one a week is more realistic. Hope you enjoy watching as much as I enjoy making them!
Brilliant achievement. Totally inspiring, especially for us oldies 👍
I’m so pleased you think so. Appreciate your comment.
Well done! Yes the video was very useful because of the clarity in breaking down the movements, detailed explanation, and excellent demonstration.
Thank you for the video.
Many thanks. I appreciate the support.
As I have just become 54 in November, I really appreciate your way of explanation through the whole process of progression in load an strength. It is also very helpful that you put an emphasis on visualization for getting this muscle mind connection.
You are a true inspiration for all men out there : don't seek for excuses, kick ass and start working things out 😅🍀👍🏽!!!!
Thanks so much for your comment. It’s much appreciated. Pleased you like my style, I just try to keep it simple and real, relatable too for people of our age. Meanwhile knocking down barriers to get the right results. 😊💪.
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!
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. Well done with the ring muscle up, that’s not easier either. I hope I can still do them at your age. Brilliant.. well done buddy!
Great work! Much better form than the last time I saw one of your posts. Very inspirational and a great way to stay strong as we age! Keep up the great work!
Thank you. Im trying to make my future videos of a better standard.
A good instructional video without fancy editing, straight to the point. Thank you!
I’m pleased you appreciated it, and took the time to let me know. Thank you.
I'm in awe of anyone who can do any of this at all. It's something I'm going to aim to achieve on my fitness journey❤
It’s a great goal to have.
Great job mate ! Really enjoy your journey. Let’s pump this blood through the veins!👍💪Wish you a great long healthy life.
Oh yeah, let’s get it. Feel the pump!
*Sooooo* inspiring 😍Im 52 in a few months & just starting to train pull up progressions (my shoulders / upper body are not at all strong) but this is v inspiring thank you subscribed!🤗😊
Thank you for subscribing.. hope you find my channel helpful. 😊
Thanks for making this, you made it so easy to understand and you have a very soothing voice
Glad it was helpful!
Can’t believe what I’m seeing… You’re an absolute monster! Congrats!
Hahaha I’ve been called many things. 😂😂
Great video. Keep them coming. You are an inspiration for us old guys starting calisthenics. I would love to see some videos about other skills. L sit, hand stand, etc.
Noted! Thanks so much for watching.
Great job brother. I'm not there yet but I'm working on it. Thanks for the inspiration. I'm 48 and trying to stay in shape.
I try to do a little something every day, and then a few times a week I really go for it.
Great video - thank you! I am going to try this method. 🙏🏼
Thanks for sharing this. Great job!
Thanks Julian!
I’m 60 and starting again really after a year of illness with one thing or another. Need to buy some new bands I think! Great tutorial! Like the slamming a bonnet analogy! I’ll remember that one! I’ve got a channel on CZcams but haven’t done much with it for a while. Perhaps I should start doing it again? We can all show the younger ones that life doesn’t stop at 60! Well done man! 👏👏👏💪
At sixty, we still have hopefully years still to go, so we must look after the only body we will ever have. It’s not always easy though as we can have health issues too. I started my channel for fun, and to document my progress. It’s helped me focus. Never expected it to take off like it has recently. And yes, we can still show the younger ones so much.. 😊💪💪💪
Being able to do 15 clean pull-ups is definitely key to doing this but there's also about 5-6 other exercises you should be practicing to get all the required muscles strengthened for a better muscle up. Great video 👍🏼
Agree with that, Thanks so much for watching my vid! 😊
Such as?
@@thefacelessmist THENX has videos on all of them, I'd check out his YT channel you won't be disappointed.
Very useful, I am a 60 year old over here in the USA sprinting and pull ups in the park. Up to 7 pull ups now without bands and will start your protocol moving forward. Thanks for making the videos.
Hi there... If you can do 10 you can do one muscelup👊
Thank you. I’m going to use this video. Great job.
Glad it was helpful!
Great tutorial. Only tried once to do the muscleup and it just seemed so far out of reach. Almost at 20 pull ups but will try going back to trying the muscle up using bands. Cheers and great motivational video for us guys at the older end of the spectrum.
We certainly are at the wrong end of the spectrum! But can still show the youngsters how it’s done.. 20 pull-ups is really good, I bet you can do a muscle up with the bands. Go on, you know you can.
Hi Antony, I am 51 and started with strength training only 2 years ago. Just before my 49th birthday I've got a pull-up bar and started with the green band. Now I am able to do about 14 pull-ups without band and I am very commited to learn the muscle up now. You are a real inspiration. I found your video by coincidence and I also like your other videos. So I subscribed. It's amazing what's possible still in the fifties. When did you start with strength training/calisthenics? I am looking forward to see more videos from you. Keep going!! Best regards from Germany.
Hi, thanks so much for subscribing. If you can do 14 pull-ups you are probably able to do a muscle up soon! Yes it is amazing what we can do even over 50. Exciting for us. I started strength training about 5 years ago, just doing push-ups.. until I managed 100 in one set. Although the form wasn’t too good. More videos to come. 👍💪😊
100 reps in one set! You're good 💯 Respect
Really liked how you described the whole process, very detailed
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching, more videos on the way.
Best tutorial on the nets. I’m working through the progression now. Can do a bunch with the small bands but still can’t hit one with no band! Thanks for the inspiration and helping me to trust the process
Hey, that’s great, sounds like you are really close to getting it. Stick at it.. and be as explosive as you can! You’ll get it soon I’m sure.
So inspiring. Thanks!!
You are so welcome!
Love following along. Still working on handstand but will get back to trying to unlock muscle as soon as I can.
All in good time.. 👍😊😊💪💪
Extremely inspiring video. Thank you so much!
You are so welcome! I’m pleased you thought so. More to come ..
Great work, Sir. Thanks for the demo of your progressions
No worries! More to come.
Congratulations on your journey and achieving your muscle up. It's the best muscle up tutorial I've seen.
All the best.
Wow, thank you! That means a lot to me. Much appreciated.
Wow. Big respect to you. Inspiring!
I appreciate that!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I am 55 and this is a goal I'm currently working on. The markers for the swing, the use of the band, it's all going to be so helpful. I have watched several videos on the muscle up and yours is by far the most comprehensive and helpful. And it's so great to see a 50+ guy like me doing what I want to do. I'm going to implement your strategy and message you when I get it!
Wonderful! That sounds like a plan. I love doing this stuff, just wish I’d started years ago. Good luck.
Very inspiring. Thank you.
You are so welcome!
Grandpa you are crazy… real inspirational, keep up💪🏼
Thank you, I will.
Great job, excellent tutorial,simple, straightforward, very beneficial.

Thank you, appreciate your kind words.
Most useful muscle up tutorial, getting these bands soon. I was struggling with those muscle ups for more than a year. Thanks for the video
Happy to help! I really made all the difference, and helped me get used to the feeling of flying up and over the bar.
F’N legendary! Great work on your part and thanks for the sharing of skills.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for leaving a comment.
Absolutly great video! The calm narration was pretty fine, sir!
Thanks so much, hoping to get another video uploaded tomorrow.
Very good down to earth video with a very likeable and relatable person, thank you Antony, wish you the bests.
David thank you for you kind words. Very thoughtful, much appreciated.
Great demonstration...thanks 😊
You’re welcome 😊.. more videos / challenges being planned shortly.
Wonderful! I’m 57, and still working on the muscle up. Thanks for the tips and the inspiration!
You got this!
Inspirational. Thanks. Keep on truckin'
You bet, always, you too.
Training for muscle ups atm with bands and not only was this video helpful but one of the most relaxing i’ve ever seen 😄 Keep up the good work!
Thank you. Planning on filming another video tomorrow, as long as the weather is ok. Will stay with the relaxing theme! 😂
Absolutely brilliant well done 👍👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Very inspirational, thanks for sharing, there's hope for me yet!!
You can do it!
I really appreciate this video and the simplicity of your demonstration. Ive tried for a number of years to get the technique of this exercise, watched many CZcams videos, and still have not benefited therefrom.
Yoir video was very simple, inspiring, and well presented.
Good job.
Thanks so much. I really hope it helps you get it.
Fantastic!!! Way to go!!! I'm in my 65th year, and right behind you!
Rock on!
This is so sweet. Very happy for you ! 🤍
Wow, thank you, appreciate your kind words.
Great inspiration. I just visualized doing my first muscle up. Thanks for your humble way of sharing the winning path.
You are so welcome!
I’m seriously impressed. I’m 55 at the moment and I just got the best motivation to do myself. Well done.
Brilliant. I’m so pleased. That makes my channel worth while, when I hear comments like that. Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment.
Thanks for the concise explanation. I will try this - the muscle up is one of my goals 👍
Glad it was helpful!
Nice video, buddy, great achievement. Best explanatory video by far without showing off. I will definitely try this technique with the bands. I'm 52 can rattle out weighted pull-ups, but gave up on these your video has now gave me the inspiration to try again cheers pal ❤
Thank you for your guidance.
You're most welcome
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...
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.
You’re definitely an inspiration. Thank you for the video!!!
You are so welcome!
Top effort. You're an inspiration. Well done!!
Thank you so much! Appreciate you comment.
Great tutorial. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great lesson. Very easy to follow. Thank you
Thanks so much for your comment. Pleased you found it useful. More to come in the new year.
