Ok I'll give them a go... Please don't be cross
Cool
will be interesting to know what you think.
I'd been working on my muscle-ups (+ve) for a while, which seemed all well and good, and a great trick, but it was only when I started working the negative that I was really able to isolate the transition phase of the movement - in that "lock it low, press it out" way which seems the part of the movement which is of most value in a climbing context.
Went through a bar routine last night, which was killer - one arm comedowns, levers and muscle-up negatives. No tucked lever rows this time.
My routine for the -ve MUs is to spin up over the bar, feet first, to the top position, if you know what I mean. I then lower very slowly to increasingly deeper/lower positions until I reach the limit of what I can press back out to the top position - 2 or 3 reps of this - before lowering slowly through the whole movement to the bottom/starting position. 2 or 3 sets of this? Buy coffee and cake (optional).
Thanks for taking my rant in such a good humoured way.
Hope you don't mind the change to my profile
