Ninja Warrior - Powerful Muscle Ups

I just learned how to do muscle ups only a few days ago (August 22, 2008), so I obviously don't have them 100% down perfect just yet, but I'll get there very soon. It won't be long before I can perform dead-hang muscle ups (with little to no swing) many times in a row. Like I mention in the video, muscle ups are amazing for strengthening the upper-body and prove very useful in parkour, as well. Enjoy.

I've always considered myself to be moderately strong, fit and healthy. I've been into weight-lifting for years; I've competed in many long-distance races, including one marathon at the young age of 16; and I've obtained the rank of Black Belt in Korean martial arts. However, it wasn't until November of 2007--the month I was introduced to the competitors of Japan's famous Sasuke "Ninja Warrior" Competition--that I realized what it really meant to be strong. Powerful men and heros such as Makoto Nagano, Mr. Ninja Warrior, and Shunsuke Nagasaki acted as the catalyst to spark my desire to compete in Ninja Warrior, and so I immediately began my training.

As I mention in the video, my goal is to compete in the SPRING, 2009 Ninja Warrior Competition (in March of 2009), and I've trained hard for it. Of course, I'll continue my training, always progressing in strength, speed, agility, endurance, and flexibility, and I'll do my best to create small videos such as this one to chart my progression.

By the time I submit my G4 American Ninja Warrior Challenge Video (right around December, 2008 / January, 2009), I hope you'll all watch and vote for me. With your votes and with your support, I'll have the opportunity to travel to Japan and represent the American People in Sasuke's 22nd Season. However, I have no intention of simply going and competing and having a good time. I'm going to win! I'm going to become the first true American Ninja Warrior, by conquering all four stages and ascending to the summit of Mount Midoriyama!

Please continue to watch my videos. As time goes on, the videos will become more and more impressive. I promise you that.

Thanks for watching and for your support. If you leave a comment, please leave one of support and encouragement. Nobody likes receiving comments intended to ridicule and tear down one's dreams.

@wyvren1990 Sometimes it's better to just ignore people like that.

To answer your question, the answer is different for everybody. However, in most cases, changing up the workout or trying something new is enough to break the muscle memory "pattern" and kickstart fat burning. Of course, that means every few weeks you have to change the pattern, but it works amazingly well.
