WHY DID I START DOINg THE BAR MUSClE UP?<br />

I started doing muscle ups because I came across Zef’s<br />

pull ups/muscle ups video of him doing muscle ups.<br />

His muscle ups gave me motivation to not just get the<br />

muscle up, but to perfect it, maintaining clean form<br />

from beginning to end. Making sure that when ever I<br />

do a muscle up set; I have Zef’s mentality, “completing<br />

my last rep as good as my first rep.”<br />

VARIATIONS<br />

Variations of muscle ups that I am able to do are close<br />

grip muscle ups and reverse grip muscle ups, but my<br />

favourite is the regular grip muscle up.<br />

The link below has an example of me doing reverse grip<br />

muscle ups:<br />

ElITE MUSClE UP WORKOUT<br />

An elite muscle up workout that I do is max muscle ups<br />

to max straight bar dips, to max dead hang pull-ups<br />

as one set. The link below has me doing 20 muscle ups<br />

to 20 straight bar dips, followed by 17 pull ups:<br />

Mark is no joke, he is able to complete at least 20<br />

CLEAN muscle ups with no rest, so if you're<br />

interested in getting to grips with MASTERING<br />

the Muscle Up, then hit him up!<br />
