    Last year this time, I was 172 lbs and I can’t even do 2 pull ups. But I made a new year resolution to get in shape and to learn muscle up. After 12 months of grind, I went from zero to hitting 8 strict muscle ups. Here's my journey. Enjoy the video and let me know your thoughts!

      I'm guessing from there they're trying to warm it up. They do really strange stuff, especially to me since I live in UK now.

    I’ll never forget my first muscle up. I got home from an intense leg day. I went to my pull up bar in my back yard. As a joke I attempted it. ( I had been able to do it with a resistance band) to my surprise, I did it with out the band. ( sloppy form, but still got over the bar). I can not describe the amount of joy that came to me. Been doing pull ups for about a year and I finally got to see the view above the bar. It happened on 420 2019 lolz. 😂

    It took me one year to learn the muscle up. It cost time to learn. One tip from me is make sure you have a good warming up and stop training if you feel a annoying pain in your shoulders. Because you’re wil get injured if you keep going. So Take your time.
