The Target: Muscle-Up Teh Skillz: Redevelop explosive high pullup Redevelop controlled dip Redevelop controlled tiger pushup & russian dip for transition Develop kip 'Sup nerds. Been a minute since I've had an NF challenge thread. I've been thinking about it for months. And I finally remembered a goal I want to return to. (Yes.., it took months of thinking. I've been raising my infant daughter. This is my brain now. A sleep-deprived grey/white mush.)

Hey! I need some help with my muscle ups!! I finally nailed them on the rings, but I am seriously struggling to get proper form on the bar. I can get one arm up and then I have to fight the second one up! My coaches call it the "chicken wing".. It's weird because this doesn't happen to me on the rings, just the bar, and I really can't and don't know how to fix it! Anyone have any suggestions or workouts that I can try to improve my MU? I would super appreciate it! Here's a video of my ugly bar muscle ups: THANK YOU!!! Meg

Been working on a side quest of muscleups. Two nights ago, I shocked myself, by doing the first one ever. Then, a couple of minutes later, I did a second one. That's all I could manage for the night. And last night, I couldn't repeat the feat, but I'm getting pretty close. One disclaimer, I'm pulling my knees up to my chest for momentum. On a side note: If I do pullups without warming up enough, I get a little bit of tenderness on the outside of my right elbow. Usually it goes away, though once in a while it's enough that I don't do any pullups. Last night during my muscleup attempts, the same pain hit me with a vengeance. And it's still sore today. It almost feels like a bruise, but it's not. Could this be tennis elbow? According to a 2 minute skimming of wikipedia, the symptoms are similar. :-P
