    Nearly a 100 days just for a vid now that's determination if I have ever seen it
  • @The_Generalgr
    Because of you, I tried to do this as a sophomore in college. I got to the point to where I could do 7 pull ups and plenty of dips unassisted. I purchased the resistance bands, expecting to be able to do an assisted muscle up, no problem. I struggled exactly like you did, and got discouraged thinking I had the strength to do it, just like you did. I was also working out outside like you, but it became winter so I stopped. (Not an excuse, but I tell myself it is.) Fast forward 4 years later, I watch this video again and see my fiancé bettering herself by working out and changing her body for the better. I began training pull ups again last month, and ordered more resistance bands because I lost the others. 2 days ago, I was able to do my first assisted muscle up with 3 bands. Tonight I did 8 in a row, then 3 in a row, then 1 more. Getting over that bar was the most amazing feeling. I watch your video almost daily now all the way through to know that it is possible for me to do this, and it keeps me motivated to train harder, eat better, make sacrifices and live healthy. Thanks Mike

    This video was the start of my calisthenics journey. 3 years later i can't imagine my life without training. It helped me a lot. Thank you Mike for the motivation
  • @xeviusUsagi
    me: "I wanna try doing that too!" my country: "in terms of pull up bars... we have no bars"
  • @Lj-rn3rp
    Are we just gonna ignore the fact that he put 93 days of content into 8 minutes
  • @BeatzOnCleatz
    Thats literally how I felt when i first did it lol. I was at the gym and i busted out the smoothest muscle up, got down, and hollered "FUCK YEA". The guy next to me is just like "dude.... you shouldve recorded that". Such a great moment for me lol
  • @delshadsaid731
    When you do that first muscle up it’s such an amazing feeling
  • @HaroldTheHairy
    The real question is how he found all of those random bars near him
  • @jamesoq3rd
    I like this vid because it shows a guy really struggling to learn a muscle up instead of a super buff dude who it makes it look so easy. It appears to me the bands must have really helped. I think now that maybe they will help me. I am 71 years old and can do 13 clean pull ups because I have spent the last 6 months getting stronger with pull ups, push ups, shoulder dips, and Burpees. So I know now I have the strength, what I do not have is the technique. I guess the bands will help with that. It's worth a try. A lot of young guys at the park tell me they know I have the strength but they are not quite good enough and coaching me on the technique. Enjoyed your video.
  • @MC-nv4bo
    Imagine how fast he would have been able to do one if he used full range of motion in his pull-ups
  • @jordan22237
    Plot twist: he can do muscle ups easy, and he recorded all of this in 1 day
  • @wizardluigi3296
    I saw this video 2 years ago, and because of it now I'm on calisthenics. I've got 5 muscle ups after some time, slow muscle ups, 20 pull ups and other skills. Currently I'm working on the planche and handstand. Than you Mike, for inspiring me to learn something new!
  • Are we gonna ignore yhe fact that his first muscle up was on 69th day? Nice.
  • This is such a good and transparent video. Congrats dude. It's not easy to do a muscle up. Not everyone can do it.
