Range of Motion’s Exercise Improvement Programs have been developed to assist in improving the ability to complete the movements that people most commonly struggle with. They are designed to be cycled through over time, with each session running for only five minutes. This allows them to be completed in addition to (not instead of) your regular programming.
- Session 1: TEST: Max weight strict muscle-up. If you need assistance, use it (preferably by using the ‘Ring Thing’ and adding weight if necessary).
- Session 2: Three sets of three reps of the following (each set unbroken): 5 second false grip hang with turn-out in hollow, strict pull-up (chest to rings), 5 second hold at top, 5 second lower.
- Session 3: Three sets of three reps of the following (each set unbroken): 5 second dip support hold with turn-out in hollow, 5 second lower, 5 second dip support hold at bottom in hollow, strict ring dip.
- Session 4: In five minutes, accumulate 15 strict muscle-ups using the ‘Ring Thing’. If you don’t have a ‘Ring Thing’ complete kneeling muscle-up transitions.
- Session 5: Complete five sets of: Two strict chest to ring pull-ups in false grip, three tight kips (still in false grip). Rest as required between sets. Five minute cap.
- Session 6: In a false grip, complete 5×3 waist to ring kipping pull-ups. Focus on an aggressive hip extension towards the rings while remaining hollow. Five minute cap.
- Session 7: Accumulate 20 muscle-up transitions with heels on ground. Begin in a false grip and lower back into the false grip every rep. Focus on an aggressive hip extension towards the rings. End locked out in a strong hollow. Five minute cap.
- Session 8: In five minutes, accumulate 15 strict muscle-ups using the ‘Ring Thing’. If you don’t have a ‘Ring Thing’ complete kneeling muscle-up transitions.
- Session 9: Accumulate eight muscle-ups with false grip and a strong kip. Use a partner to push on your mid back to assist with the transition. Five minute cap.
