  • In this video I show how I have built up my strength to go from 0 muscle-ups to 10+ reps and having the strength to do other variations like the slow muscle-up. I also show the technique for the muscle-up to make the exercise easier with timing and momentum.

However, I still wasn't able to do a muscle up, which for me is the coolest exercise out there and has been my goal. Will try to apply the cues you gave in this video. Thanks, man. Cheers!

Also, front levers at the 90 deg hip progression. Planche is my weakest but have gotten to holding the frog pretty well consistently. I've been working out for a while with the standard PPL, circuit, etc. but adding calisthenics has been a game changer for just being stronger and being able to perform some cool movements.
