The slow motion muscle up is maybe even more spectacular than the regular one. For most people it seems impossible.

But in this video, I’m gonna tell you everything you need to know so you’ll be able to master it!

If you are not familiar with it, the slow motion muscle up is a kind of muscle up, where you do the same movement from passive hang, with absolutely no momentum, but slow and controlled movements.

You can do slow mo muscle up on the rings and bar as well. The execution on the rings is much easier, since you can move the rings and have more control, furthermore it doesn’t require the explosive pull-up anyway like in the bar muscle up.

So if you got the technique of the regular rings muscle up, you’ll be able to do the slow mo muscle up, you just need to do all the movements slower. No big deal.

If you’re interested in that, I made a video about the 5 checkpoints of the perfect rings muscle up, so check that out if you haven’t already!

You can spot the difference much more easily between the regular and slow mo bar muscle up.

In the regular bar muscle up the most important things are the little motion of the body during the exercise, and the explosive pulling which helps you to get over the bar.

It’s enough to grab the bar with regular overhand grip and thanks to the explosive pulling, you’ll basically fly through weightless in the transition, so you can turn your wrists easily.

I’ve already talked about the prerequisites and technique of the regular bar muscle up in my previous videos, that you can find on the channel.

With these in mind, let’s talk about the slow motion muscle up on the bar, because it’s a whole different story.
