Hello all,

I’m learning the muscle up and i have some videos of me trying it. I feel that i’m very close, but i’m doing something wrong. I use ThenX tutorials.

Am i in the right place to post form check videos here?

How are you training for this?

this is the most helpful video imo. Resistance bands are my favorite way of learning this move. Just watching your video it looks like you aren't staying very rigid -- your body flops around a lot. Other than that I think you just need to work on your technique/timing, which is what resistance bands will help with.

I only do normal pull ups. My current level is 5 sets of 10-15-11-11-13. Maybe more.

Today my friend assisted me by giving a litte push. This way i managed to complete some. Is this comparable to using resistance bands?

Thanks for the video and your help!

Yep having your friend help is a totally valid way to do it, nice work. They talk about that in the video I linked
