@button I have similar stats (182cm 80kg age 25) and I started with around 2-3 pull ups, but in 2 years and a half I am barely better than you at weighted dips and slightly weaker at weighted chin ups, so your progress is very impressive for me.

@dawn16 The coolest Batman related thing I've seen is this cartoon.

@peslaugh It is for someone who practices calisthenics, most of the best athletes are 160cm 60kg/5'3 132lbs.

@januszpedal2 No matter what is your level I think in 1-3 years you can surely achieve strict muscle ups. Slow false grip ones may be a good idea. To learn them, here is a possible approach: Train the false grip from the start, at the beginning do it feet assisted until you can dead hang in...

@darkchylde See this reply. Maybe it's not so wrong but the reply makes good points.

@janeestipular555 This was still a cool thread and I liked most of the comments, also Baki did some kind of press from pancake to handstand that looks impossible, here is the comment mentioning it.

@fromgenesistorevelation Thanks, a lot of interesting stuff in the comments.

@jjriggs Those beginner gains usually come fast, a lot of the first strength comes from learning to do the movements efficiently.

@dawn16 Now we can't feel any joy unless we see one arm front lever rows or a no false grip Victorian cross hold.

@michaelphemo I learned the slow false grip muscle up, now I am trying to increase the volume. A video of weighted muscle ups by you would be interesting. Another interesting thing would be a one rep max weighted muscle up competition, I wonder if someone can do more than 40kg, which is the...

@omahadad Good luck with your goal.

@dawn16 Bent arm planche mountain climbers. Also there were some other cool parts, like the wheelchair guy doing full ROM pullups with no kipping. Are bent arm human flags easier since there is a thing called human flag pullups? The guy on the right was doing it with straight arms.

@neuapostolisch /@michaelphemo has surely seen or done some very impressive weighted muscle ups, now that I think about it.

@integrity31 Every build has its advantages and disadvantages depending on the context. Tall people will have a harder time with strength to weight ratio but they'll be able to move more external load.

@dawn16 So did he start doing tuck planche to one leg straight planche? Do you remember if it looked real with a proper forward lean of the shoulders or if it looked like there was just a rope helping?

@pet777 Good luck, I hope you get some injury-free gains.

@tobycurry Should have made carbon nanotube ring straps instead. RIP.

@dawn16 Much better form that half of the crossfit practitioners. Hopefully he didn't use fake plates like Brad Castleberry, but I dunno how strong Ben Affleck is, even though he looks quite muscular.

@k94c Excellent example, has little kip but it is fully symmetric compared to Sai Ngo's execution.

@pet777 You can try to keep your hands forward instead of internally rotated, as long as the hands are close and under the sternum the intensity is still higher than standard pushups. The elbows will flare a bit but they'll still be close to the body.
