This is my first time reposting my own video... but after seeing 16.3 announced, this is the main thing I keep thinking about from a strategy standpoint. Since it is going by to be a lot of rounds and only three muscle ups at a time, how efficient you are with that first rep will be very important. with .
・・・strength and gymnastics. Sometimes it's the little things you may have never even considered that can make a huge difference. For all of you guys out there exercising for time or just learning ninja-circus tricks for fun, consider how you approach the bar to do a bar muscle up. Do you think about where you stand when you jump and your body form when you catch the bar? The left most most frame is jumping directly under the bar and catching in a straight body dead hang = poor swing and power. The middle frame is jumping directly under the bar into hollow body = fair swing and power. The right most frame is jumping from behind the bar into hollow body = excellent swing and power. It takes essentially the same amount of energy to jump to the bar each of these ways. So why not approach this skill in the way that gives you the best swing? Setting up a good swing in this skill comes down to how far you get your shoulders and hips (and thus your center of gravity) in front of the bar in the arch. The farther you get the more potential you have for gravity to help you rotate back down and the more distance you have to accelerate your legs. The hips and legs in the right frame go from a farther distance in the same amount of time so by definition that means i am moving fastest in the right frame. The best way to get the shoulders and hips as far forward as possible when starting on the ground is to jump from behind the bar, catch in a hollow and swing into an arch. This is how I approach BMU from the ground every time now and I'd definitely recommend you try it out... If doing stuff like this is the sort of thing you are into.
