<p>A lot of it is technique I reckon - like Olympic lifting, except you can't start with 40kg, and that's what makes it hard. Only way to do them is body weight!</p>

<p>Without a shitload of momentum on the first pull you're fucked and that "transition" is what screws a few people, even some who can do lots of pull ups/dips.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Of course there are those little muscly units who can do them really slowly and full of control.</p>

A good trick If you've a bar at home is to use a step ladder.
afteer a warm up set (my shoulders are a bit grouchy) aim for 4 to 6 reps with whatever weight you can handle. When you can't do another full rep, do two as high as you can. Then get ladders so you can start at chin level. Let down as slow as poss -- this hurts a bit. repeat once or twice.
Each week add a kilo or so.
Over a year the gains will be good.

Good tips bro. Wairau - so much of the muscle up is hip drive - if you can get that momentum going that last extension through your triceps etc is a bit easier. That's what my PT says btw, not my personal experience. Still working on my pull ups and chins!

have seen people hook a dumbbell with their legs, but that isn't going to let you add much weight.
