Ugh Im stuck trying to put my chest on the bar. I definitely have enough strength to do it since I can perform about 20 pull ups in 1 set but trying to do muscle up is a *****

Yeah, try to learn the crossfit/kipping version first and then transition to the strict version after that.

Give us a demonstration, king 

oh, a muscle definitely goes up

 

I've been going to the gym for half a year now, even had some sessions with personal trainer because I really want to commit but I still feel like such a ugly noob, I will never be hot and able to perfrom this excersise

we will need some receipts

 

I can't do more than 5 pull ups (on a good day), and I'm always fearing for my LIFE when I do them cause I have an elbow thing. Really wish I had the money to keep a trainer around for long, largely for confidence/support  I'll never get anywhere with my self-defeatist attitude.

I injured both my shoulders badly as a teenager so I can't even attempt to do this lol

idk if i can

I've been working on my triceps a lot at the gym these past few months, and my chest and biceps and abs too, along with a LOT of treadmill running, but this past week and a half my bestie and i have been a bit sick so we've not been going. but this coming week i plan to get back on schedule!

Not yet but I've been going to gym for the last 6 months so it's a matter of time 

Probably 1 lol

Yeah but not many. I was focusing more on strength training so all my calisthenic abilities decreased a bit. I can do 4 x 12 of pull ups though.

Yes I do CrossFit. Most I’ve ever done was like 7 in a row. I won’t be able to do them for several months after my shoulder surgery. 

Yes

I used to be quite good at pull ups but I don't really do them anymore. I never tried a muscle up though because the top part is basically a dip and I ****** up my shoulder for like 9 months by doing dips in the past 

Not the full movement but desperately trying to do at least one proper. It’s so hard and feels like I’m going to rip my shoulder.
