Next goal: Muscle Up
About this Event
This workshop is aimed at adults (18+) who have a muscle up as their next goal, but aren't quite sure where to start!
We'll be looking at strict ring and bar muscle ups (not kipping/crossfit muscle ups).
Requirements:
- 8+ strict pull ups
- 10+ dips
- A readiness to "embrace the suck" and have a go!
After warming up, we'll spend the next hour or so on ring muscle ups. Topics will include:
- false grip 101
- baby ring muscle ups
- when and how to start using a band
- how your unique physiology will determine which exercises will work best for YOU
- how to implement the exercises into your training
We'll then have a short (15-20mins ish) break to refuel before moving onto bar muscle ups. Topics will include:
- the different types of bar muscle up and which type may be the best for you to start with
- plenty of drills to target the different elements of the muscle up
- learning the foundational movement patterns to avoid getting into bad habits further down the road!
- how to use a band in the most effective way
- how to structure your training to keep your bar muscle up progressing
This workshop will be taught by Olivia, a Calisthenics Basingstoke coach. She's been doing ring muscle ups for a decade, and had a hard journey with bar muscle ups meaning she knows every trick in the book and how to make the most of your individual strengths. She's taken many beginners all the way from pull ups to muscle ups, so you'll be in safe hands!
You won't need any muscle up experience for this workshop, but we will be jumping straight in so you will need to be competent at strict pulls and have general training experience.
This workshop isn't suitable for people who have never trained before or who are totally new to calisthenics/bodyweight movements.
If you're unsure if it's right for you, shoot us an email and we can advise you :)
Please bring plenty of snacks/drinks to keep you going!
