[Bananaakeyboard]

all of this KILLS your joints but its so fun

[slimlim123]

Does the momentum method help pull ups?

[CuDerRaGer]

i didnt know hitgirl from kick-ass was your sister O__O

[BROWNIZABLE]

Keep goin' man, nice!

[ljaki23]

your little sister? im guessing you guys a gymnists or something?

[mrhamoody94]

how tall are you?

[edjorthebeast]

have you done gymnastics before?

[BeatsOnALeash]

@thef0rtress you make great tutorials keep making them man, i would love to see more beginner tutorials il keep watching, thanks :)

[Kev1nY4ng]

i'd suggest not having a really rough bar when you're placing your wrist on it, it could easily bruise or get cut. 

[Mirkocc14]

rain sprinkling is a very lame excuse!

[Cordlesstraining]

Thank you that explanation on 3,00 will help me!! (when I can find a bar)

[TheMarchel96]

is there any diffrence if u do a muscle up with your hands far apart or like one foot from each other?

[TheF0rtress]

@TheMarchel96 one foot apart is easier

[Mragdoll]

hey Paul.

How do you do high pull ups?

[DarkHanZelo]

Hi!! It seems so easy... :)) "seems"! I have a question for you...I'm 30, and I'm not fat but my weight is 84Kg (for 1,84 m) and I have, for costitution, the lower part of body more heavy than the higher so it's hard for me to do 2-3 pull-up (I'm a "true" beginner...). So Have you some basic exercise (VERY basic, I've seen some your videos! :) ) to fortify arms, pectoral and shoulders?Have you some "special" push up for me in advice? :D I'm trying whit body building but it's so boring!Thank you!

[TheF0rtress]

@DarkHanZelo watch my video called how to do a pullup, that should help.

[DarkHanZelo]

@TheF0rtress Yes, I did, thank you. I've seen something like that in others videos. I tried in the morning in the park. To be effective I must go back home "whitout arms" isn't it? :) I think I need a strong training with push-up too..

[aisjdijasijdajsd]

QUESTION HERE:

Does doing weighted chinups help? im hanging about 8 kilograms under my kness and doing 8 standard chinups. Pls help me thxs.

[TheF0rtress]

@aisjdijasijdajsd never tried them to learn the muscle up...

[aisjdijasijdajsd]

@TheF0rtress do u also go to the gym? because im afraid if i were to try and learn this calisthenics workout thing, going to the gym will just add more muscle mass to areas which i dont need and end up draggign me down in the level of calsthenics

[christroyer6ness]

Nice work m8. and ur sister fair play. word of warning 2 anybody who has purchased a powerbar leave the muscle ups for outside, if u know wat im getting at, yea i was that guy.

[stajvson]

How many days a week do you workout? How long is your workout sessions and how many days a week do you train the same exercise like pullups, dips, etc?

[ubertastic123]

Self esteem just lowered drastically by that little girl showing me up

[shenkeey]

Or wrist tjurns

[TheFlaFlip]

I would also like to see the transformation video, would be a great motivation!

[JamesOliverHobbs]

6:00 no transformation video :( lol you have well over 1,000.

[TheF0rtress]

@JamesOliverHobbs it was up for a while, i deleted it. My video called Happily Ever After explains why.

[vivi125]

@TheF0rtress

some of us didnt have the chance to watch it..

So please re-upload it :)

Delete it later again if u like

[zzhomeboy1]

@TheF0rtress for some reason I couldn't hold the bar at the position that you recommended... I know I have strong grip.. able to do 10 chin up with a 45 lbs plate with good form, but some how I always fail to do the M.U wth!!??

[merryhadanaceofSpade]

[Bobrenok1]

Wow. Where are you from, man? Do you know who Michail Baratov is?

[dpodsful]

Your underwear is always showing.

[lordbuda]

Hey man, Ive been working on this exercise but no matter how much I try I never can pull myself up the bar, so how much practice or time do you think i will need to make a non-momentum muscle up? Btw nice vids :D

[TheF0rtress]

@lordbuda took me two years to learn a non-momentum muscle up

[lordbuda]

@TheF0rtress Thanks man, I won`t give up! :D

[brudess12]

@TheF0rtress mmm u dont have good progress i learned it for 1 month

[TheF0rtress]

@brudess12 That's great! It's true that the smaller you are the faster you learn, but I guess I wasn't trying hard enough.

[brudess12]

@lordbuda it was hard for me too i learned it for 1 month but i didnt knew the right way so when u 1 hand over than u must to take ur all power to get over the bar ur breast and take ur another hand over .. and ur ready :]

[TheDslide]

after 6 weeks i did it !

[flyyhigh1]

wow your sister is strong !!

btw awesome video !!

[elkswho]

Hi pual I am 14 years old and I wanna start being very fit like u where should I start I can do 30 push ups 7 pull ups 7 chin ups and 70 straight sit ups

[Macraewalker]

Thanks Paul for a good tutorial, and I've watched a bunch-I just put a pullup and parallel bars in my back yard, so I'm too tired from digging holes and cementing to try your tips out today. But I know it will help-glad to see you drop a bit on the negative muscle up-I drop like a stone-Cheers,

Chris

[Duf67]

Great tutorial Paul. I am working towards my first muscle up and think it is just bad technique holding me back at this point. This video helps me visualize what I need to fix.

[EvasionAnan4]

Big thanks. Really good tutorial. I made muscle up a week later.

[sa670]

Nice tutorial! Great video. I am very close to my first muscle up. Been training for 2 months. Will use your advise for sure! :)

[pamphlex]

Great video!

the most complete tutorial on the muscle-up I've seen yet, even talking about the false grip.

Nice, really nice.

[PushYourLimitsATX]

that's a better tutorial than I've seen out of many....deserves more views man

[erickr1980]

В русский?

[TheF0rtress]

@erickr1980 извини, только на Английском пока есть...

[erickr1980]

@TheF0rtress да спасибо павел.

[killacalimorphs]

UR BAD ASS !!!!

[lwst82]

I just subscribed to you, and got my first muscle up today after numerous failed attempts. I used a combination of the kip plus one arm at a time to do it. I can't do a high pullup or chest to bar pullup though. Do you have any tips on that? If I go chest to bar, my body is not upright but it's tilted under the bar.

[mikemerk91]

this is an EXCELLENT tutorial far more detailed than most other "tutorials" thanks for puttin the effort to make this

[smoootha]

Thanks i really hope this will help :) but before the muscle ups how many dips and pullups i can do.

[smoootha]

Thanks i really hope this will help :) :p

[TheMassacre1OO]

What's the difference of the close-grip muscleups Hannibal is doing amd the normal ones that are a bit weider? Also tell me which muscle groups each one trains.

[TheF0rtress]

@TheMassacre1OO closer is much harder, trains the same muscle group, but you must have explosive strength to do those. Regular muscle ups do not require explosive strength.

[Unleashed1111123]

Paul, i just started watching your vids and i'm trully inspired, just ordered a bar so i can place it inside my apartment since i'm no way near a pull up bar like yours there in the vid, hope to see more great vid's and what a like the most about you is that you're humble and not a douchebag...and believe me..i'd be a douchebag if i was anyway near as strong as you are :) peace much love

[kenzieSP0ng3B0B]

height and weight plz?? effective tutorial :)

[lolimdead5]

vlogs are cool

[IHACKER316]

[ulysse3329]

Super! You are a good instructor!

[TheSamaell]

[DanyBaron]

[BiggyBigMouth]

Remember me? ;p I watched a tutorail of strenght projects @ youtube.

He explains it the same way as you:) [thumbs_up]

High pullups really help, just to through you over the bar!

Yesterday I had my first clean muscle up thnks to these tips:)

I think more people or going to have some usefull stuff in this vidi:)

Ty!

[FitnessFAQs]

Quite a good tutorial, should've probably got a perfect muscle up before you made it though.

[TheF0rtress]

@FitnessFAQs I have about 15 perfect form right now, might upload it soon...

[sheridanbucket]

Excellent tutorial with thorough and thoughtful explanation. Although, unless you dial it back a bit, in the short time it takes to reach 1000, you'll no longer be able to disguise yourself as Clark Kent!

btw: Yes on the vlogs, please. :)

[TheZotant]

The best MU tutorial, a lot of time will be spend to understand all this by yourself.
