I can muscle up but only with all my energy just a few times, after that I'll start to only really get my left arm up and struggle to kind of pull it off, what am I doing wrong?

[zwadloc]

@MrBenlally Just because a person can do one pull-up, does that mean they can do pull-ups forever? I don't think you're doing anything wrong, muscle-ups are just hard and you fatigue quickly.  Keep training and you'll be able to do lots in no time! It's getting that first one that is the hardest part.

how did you train to jump like that? when climbing a wall I see you jump really high, but then you just teach how to train the upper body. Could you please help us train the legs too?

[zwadloc]

@Dh4m13l The best way to train your legs for jumping like that is by jumping like that. The more you jump, the stronger your jumping muscles get.

[Dh4m13l]

@zwadloc that's what I though... and what about all those plyometric programs like the jump manual and so forth? and do you train jumps till you can't do no more or you have to control yourself and don't do to the point of exhaustion? what should I be careful about when training jumps? I do martial arts, and so... should I start doing more jump kicks and then I'll get better? Thanks for your answer! I do appreciate it.

@Dh4m13l plyometric stuff works but you probably don't need any sort of manuals or programs to do it. Just find something to jump on and go up and down and back and forth and over until you feel like you're going to puke. That's an ok way of training and you can really push yourself to the limit, but you'll have trouble walking for a couple days if you do it real hard. If you're training bigger jumps don't push it so hard. Control yourself for safety sake so you don't fail a jump

I didn't even know they had pull-up assist machines.

@jscelman ideally when you do pull ups the bar should be around your mid chest at least, not just below your chin. 2nd the form is very hard my friend was in the same boat as you but a bit weaker he dipped body weight (145 lbs + 80 lb wegihted) and did about 12 pull ups only but he kept trying and then he pulled out 6 reps of muscle ups all of a sudden lol,

@jrk987 imo I dotn think your lacking forearm wrist stregnth, forearm is only for grip stregnth, I think your lacking tricep strength, 1st half is all back, 2nd half (the problem your having trouble with is tricep strength, you should just go to a park and find two bars side by side and work on dips.

@jrk987 might be the transition from pulling to pushing that is not strong enough. i would take a guess and say you need to strengthen entire shoulder girdle (shoulders, rotater cuff, chest, etc.) and do assisted muscle-ups on rings with someone to help push you just enough , kinda like a spotter when using weights . forearms are also important, but i think if you can hang on long enough for 15 chinups, you can definetly hold a false grip for a little while . good luck :)

Thanks! This helped me jump over walls while running away from the cops.
