Campus Training: muscle ups on rings
(pre requisite 5 pull ups)
This session will be a practical training session on ring muscle ups. We’ll break the movement down into its key components and then Train Hard! I guarantee you’ll go away with the know-how to master the muscle up on your own time, and if you’ve already got a strong base you might even unlock it on the day (it’s happened before!). You should definitely feel comfortable doing 5 pull ups and 10 push ups before signing up for this workshop, but if you’re not there yet, why not sign up for my 0-5 pull-up workshop instead!
