Introducing the latest addition to our Programs lineup, First Strict Ring Muscle-up™, available now to all btwb users.
The Strict Ring Muscle-up requires a combination of upper body pulling/pressing strength, core strength, and transition technique. Over the 20 sessions, you’ll be working on various skills and movements designed to improve each. Specific elements of the program include:
- Strict pulling/pressing strength work
- Muscle-up transition drills
- Active holds
- Shoulder stability training
- Core strength work
- Assisted pulling/pressing movements
- Lat activation/strength work
- Tempo gymnastic drills
You’ll revisit each skill at various points in the program so that you can (1) increase difficulty along the way and (2) monitor your progress.
Test/retest
This program will begin with a test and finish with a retest. Don’t worry, we know you’re following this program because you can’t perform a Strict Ring Muscle-up just yet. So why the initial test?!
You’ll use that first test to take notes (literal and figurative) on things like:
- How the attempt felt
- How close you came to a full rep
- Your specific sticking points
You will log a “0” for the actual workout, and attach your notes. We’ll use them for comparison during your retest. If possible, record yourself performing the attempt for comparison to your retest.
Do It Again!
This isn’t a one-and-done program. Revisit it as many times as needed to accomplish your goal. The Strict Ring Muscle-up in particular is an advanced gymnastic movement. Results will vary based on your ability when starting the program. The important thing to keep in mind is progress. As long as you are better off than when you started the program, you are headed in the right direction! It might take another run through the program before getting your first rep.
Fitness is a journey. Enjoy the process.
