Getting comfortable with this grip is key if you want to rep out Muscle Ups.
So here is Prerequisite N.1:
✅ 20 sec. Hold on False Grip Hang
If you have trouble with that, use the method shown in this clip, start practicing it.
Here are some additional notes worth considering.
Too painful to bear?
Start with holds assisting yourself with your feet on the ground to hold it for the prescribed time. With practice you’ll see how you’ll be able to hang with your feet off the ground for a few seconds.
Want to strengthen it even more?
False grip pull ups are the way to go. However, if false grip pull ups destroy your wrists and are still painful, you can do rows instead to condition them.
Tapping your wrists can help mitigate ripping the skin off. Building toughness in that area of the wrist takes time. And even then, skin might rip but it won’t get as brushed or inflamed as in the beginning.
I personally still get some skin scratches on my wrist when I practice muscle ups, but my wrists don’t get swollen nor feel painful. Only, when I stop practicing with rings for a while. Then it takes a couple of weeks to get accustomed to the stress in that area.
Hoping this helps you my friends!
It can get frustrating when that grip is what limits you from continuing to do some reps.
A smart way of our body to tell us we are not ready for that just yet.
As always…
New Year or not…
The practice goes on.
Much love to you.
Be safe.
