@twiggy87 Yep. Those cues sound right.

@specific The goal is to do it without changing the shoulder angle, but that requires a good amount of strength and flexibility (I don't quite do it perfectly). Bring your legs up as high as you can without leaning back.

@peakdixon Currently my training is geared towards competitive gymnastics. I know I have more details buried deep in my comment history somewhere, so I'll try to dig that up for you if I get a chance instead of rewriting it.

@dawn16 I don't think it would make a lot of difference for the pull ups, but you should probably get that checked out.

@twinsjoy There are lots of resources in the sidebar. Start with the FAQ.

@dazzle102475 It think so. The thumb position isn't terribly important for these though. Whenever I do them on thinner bar (like the men's metal bar) I wrap my thumbs around, but standard technique on the women's uneven bars is to thumbs on the same side.

@erronn Facing away. Palms facing in is called a chin up.

@yunus061 Yeah, I have rotator cuff and labrum issues and have to be careful about it. Since the rotator cuff isn't particularly strong, it helps to consciously keep some tension using other muscle groups as well.

@paulwhoever I usually recommend to go down to full extension in the arms and shoulders unless you have some sort of injury or impairment that contraindicates that. However, you should still keep tension in the shoulders the whole time. Don't let them relax and pop out of socket.

@michaelphemo What world record do you hold?

@dawn16 Agreed. I hate those things with their slippery rubber handles that make you choose narrow grip or wide grip.

@yuliza The only time I've had elbow pain with muscle ups is when I tried weighted straight body muscle ups.

Scrap footage: I started trying to record some muscle up variations, but wasn't satisfied with my technique. I'll try again when I'm fresh.

@laura743 I train 4 or 5 days per week, 1.5 to 3 hours per work out mostly gymnastics skill work.

@andreasprotoklitos Everybody starts somewhere. As long as you are improving and pushing yourself, you have nothing to be ashamed of.

I just uploaded a few pull up videos. Pull Ups L Pull Ups V Pull Ups I'll get around to adding the descriptions eventually. Bonus: Hanging Leg Lifts.

@unsu I looked at some of the other videos on the channel. This is what we need to show people who are convinced their arms are too short to do an L-sit. This dude could do an L-sit even if he were missing his entire forearm!
