Muscle Up Inspiration

"You'd be surprised at the things you can achieve when you believe.  The reality surpasses your dreams, and when that happens, there's no reason to sleep." Bar-Barian's Zef.



I had no idea that you could make such an exciting and inspirational video about fricken pull ups.  Zef does some insane moves, but some of it is good fodder for training ideas.  I am going to try out the horizontal pull ups, albeit at more of an angle than the beast on the video.  Holding pull ups at the top help build that strength I'll need.  Also, bringing my head in front of the bar is probably a good way to build up my back.

I was also glad to see that he sometimes used gloves.  This guy's tough (obviously) and if he wears gloves to keep his hands from being shredded, then I'm not a wimp just because I do as well.  I just bought a pair yesterday.  I promise not to use them all the time, but my hands are getting beat up and abused from the bar.  I like calluses, but pinched nerves are hindering my reps.
