A few months ago, I learned the muscle-up in 35 days.
I got countless comments saying that's not a real muscle-up because kipping doesn't
count, so I worked on the muscle-up without kipping for a while but I didn't make progress.
Recently my friend suggested I should try to learn the ring muscle-up first before going
back to train on the bar muscle-up without kipping.
According to him, it's easier and it will help me build up the foundation strength for
achieving a bar muscle-up without kipping.
So starting from today, I will attempt to learn the ring muscle-up until I can do 3
in a row.
Here is my first attempt.
Ha.
Nope.
Quite tricky, eh?
This seems to be a lot harder than the bar muscle-up because I can't utilize momentum,
and this thing is constantly shaking.
Ha.
Oh, this is going to be a long journey. Oh.
Today I am going to try the push part of the ring muscle-up.
I am totally stuck.
Hoo.
I can't believe I can't even push myself up.
This is hard.
I decided to go through as many ring muscle-up tutorials as I could on YouTube, and I realized
the biggest mistake I made was not using a false grip.
I tried the false grip out and I had to start with hanging with the normal grip in one arm
and the false grip in the other arm because my wrists were not used to the pressure.
Eventually, I was able to hang with both arms in a false grip but still couldn't pull
myself up.
I also decided to work on my support hold and continue to get my elbows and shoulders
used to the dip position.
To my surprise, on day 6...
Oh, hoho! First dip of my life.
Alright, haha.
Yes, that's progress.
Goob job, man. Thanks.
Oh-ho, second dip of my life.
Oh. Very intense on the, the pec.
OK. One, coming down, and two.
Ah!
Wow, what happened today.
It might be you. It's you, haha!
Yes!
I made another progress the next day by being able to pull myself up with a false grip.
I was even surprised by how fast my wrists had adapted.
I continued alternative training between dips and false grip pull-ups.
On day 17, I decided to start attempting the ring muscle-up but then realized the transition
was quite tricky.
On day 18, while I was working on the transition, need to be able to pull to here somehow,
all of a sudden I had an epiphany. Ohhh, okay, man, it gotta be on this side.
I realized my false grip was most likely wrong because the ring crossed the outer part of
my palms.
The transition seemed so much more possible when the ring crossed the inner part of my
palms because it allowed me to push down with the bone here on my palms.
My arms were gassed at this point, but on day 19, this happened.
Ahhhhh, yes!
Yaaa, first rep!
Yes, good job! Yah!
Hoo!
Wow, number two!
Hoo! And then come down. Try not to loosen it, and then one more time.
Oh man. Haha.
Oh, that was good!
And then on day 21,
one,
two.
three.
Yes!
Yes! Yes!
One more time for people who are gonna say it doesn't count because I didn't turn
the rings out at
the start.
One.
Two.
Three.
One last time for people who think I might be cheating because the bad camera angle cut
my feet off.
Thanks for watching.
My next goal is to do the bar muscle-up without kipping.
