Skills
Ring Muscle Up Basics/Drills
1- Big Kipping Swing on the rings (2×5)
– Hollow body/Arc positions, Keep feet together by holding a towel with your feet pinched
– Focus on squeezing your butt on the back swing and tightening your core/hips on the hollow body portion
2 – Seated Banded Hip to Ring (2×5)
– Think Raise your feet, then explode your hips to the rings and try to touch your hips on the rings (toe – Hip/pull)
– Start with your arms straight and your butt off the ground
3 – Archers with Rings in push up position (2×5 each side)
– To increase your strength of keeping the rings close to the body on the turn over you will start in the bottom of a push up position on the rings close to your body. You will then straighten your left arm out hold for a second then slowly bring it back in, then repeat on the other side.
4 – Ring dip starting with bottom pause (2 sets of 5 singles)
– Start in holding the bottom of a ring dip for 5 seconds and then strict press out of the bottom to finish the dip. Restart each rep for 5 reps each set, do 2 total sets (10 total reps, all singles)
– this should get you used to being strong on the turn over incase you have to fight to get out of the hole for your first Muscle Up or if you are fatigued.
5 – If you are feeling Froggy then go ahead and try one.
Either way, if you really want a Muscle Up you can utilize these drills EVERY WEEK (2-3 Days a week, before or after class whenever there is time) and I promise you it will start to work. Consistency is the key if you really want to achieve something. Practicing once a month or even farther apart won’t get you there, has to be weekly!!
