Learning the MU rarely crossed my mind until recently. Problem is my gym has no straight bars, just the pull-up handles. But I found a pull-up bar of adequate height at a local park the other day and started messing around on it.
I used to train martial arts and train lot for strength and explosiveness but for the past 1.5 years have adhered to nothing more than a half-hearted, pump-chasing bro split. I do a couple sets of pullups each week on back day but no explosive chest to bars or anything.
The only explosive movements I do are double unders and jumps to touch the bball rim before my workout to prime nervous system.
I can do a set of upwards of 15 pullups and can string together multiple chest to bars from a dead hang if I feel like it.
So I found this bar and tried to do muscle ups using what seemed like consensus proper technique after watching a few YouTube vids.
Here's the vid:.
Any tips? Am I even remotely close? Does my timing/technique look ok? Am I simply too weak/not explosive enough? I'm determined to get this now and don't want it to be a long drawn out process. I feel like I should already be able to do it.
I appreciate any comments/critiques
