Your hear many people say that for the muscle up they want to go as explosive

Modal verbs - A2

And they just keep training explosive pull ups all the time

Cause eventually, you'd be able to go over the bar - they think.

Most of the muscle up is actually a push movement. It's a push exercise!

Once you grab* (nice grammar i know;) the bar, once you do like this

Then it's your tricep pushing! (In the transition)

If you can't maintain the pressure in the tricep muscle

Then it's just going to look like this and you will fall down.

Almost like if you were doing a pull up to  get over - it's not going to happen.

So, what you want to train is your tricep muscles!

And the best exercise apart from all the standard push exercises like

This is another push variation, it's called tigerbend push ups.

It's really great. I will show it in a few seconds.

Many of my friends and people I have coached and all that - I showed them this exercise, and

they learned to do the muscle up a few weeks after they started training this exercise

I did that too myself. I found the exercise and learned the muscle up around 3 weeks after.

In the regular push up you'll be like this. But in the tiger bend push up you'll be like this.

With your index finger pointing forwards.

Keep a more narrow grip. You can even put them totally together like this.

And it's actually a lot harder than it looks.

Many people can't even do it first time they try.

And that's why it's important to start with the easy variation of this exercise.

Don't start like this and try to go down.

You want to start with your hands here, then it's easier.

Then as you get better, place your hands closer towards your center.

I hope this exercise will help you a lot to gain tricep strength
