Strict Muscle Up
Practicing the Strict Muscle Up at Crossfit Bytown, during the Mobility & Movement Cert.
It is important to develop the strength to perform this movement in control before attempting to "kip" it at high reps. Joints and ligaments of the arms and shoulders can be injured without the proper strength to support them in the movement.
Take the time to develop your skill and strength ... for longevity!

Wow, nice control going up there.

Thank you Matt!
A lot of time and patience before this started happening! I was never a gymnast, lol!
And if I can learn to do it in my 50's, then most anyone can!
:)
I'm going to try working on that at the climbing gym where they have rings.
Any recommended progression other than controlling your descent after a regular muscle up?
Matt
- Full depth Ring Dips (to armpits) and Chest-to-Bar Chin Ups using (controlled) tempo on lowering.
- Weighted dips and chin ups.
- Support work: Dip Support and Active Hang.
I may have to put up some video on the support work as there is not much out there on You Tube to point to.
