Hello. I have started training for parkour. I couldn't do one pull up when I started out; now I can do 5 from a dead hang. My current goals in parkour include mastering the wall climb/top out, the kong/monkey vault and dropping from heights a little taller than me with a roll. I have the kong vault in a decent situation and I am getting better at it and I can roll smoothly on grass. However, I am struggling a lot with the climb up/top out from a cat hang and I would like to know if it requires a lot of upper body strength because I don't think there are too many flaws in my footwork and grip. Also, I would like to do muscle ups! Do you need to do an awful lot of pull ups before you try muscle ups? I watched and awful lot of tutorials but can't seem to put it all together when it comes to the transition from the pull to the dip (in the cases of muscle ups as well as climb ups). Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.
