My First Muscle Up


Ok, ok… It isn’t a fluid motion by any means, but it’s a start, right??

    Nice one Jamie! Did you do loads of preparation work for the muscle up or did you just give it a go?

    Haha… Thanks! I had tried on several occasions before this attempt but failed. I think ring dips are good prep for the muscle-up but it’s all in the technique. I still don’t have it yet. In fact, I haven’t repeated the muscle-up since this attempt. Spending so long in the transition between pull-up and dip on this one put a lot of strain on my left shoulder and I really hurt it. It’s fine now, but I’ve been cautiously trying to improve. Hopefully my rings will come in the mail soon and I can spend loads more time working on it.
