@billmaeda: 25 Failed Muscle Ups - age 57, November 29, 2025, 11:57 am ⚠️CAUTION: THIS VIDEO IS FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY. THE ACTION(S) SHOWN CAN BE DANGEROUS OR FATAL. PLEASE VIEW WITH DISCRETION. Yesterday I was working with a 25 year-old client and in mid conversation, he jumped up on the bar and busted out a perfect, effortless muscle up. Not only was this impressive, but it reminded me that I hadn’t done this since my CrossFit level one certification back in 2014. Yesterday my sleep score was only 65, but today it was 80 so I thought I’d give it a try. I’m sure the technique I was using was as old and outdated as I am because I tried almost 30 times without success. I tried adjusting my swing, my tuck, my speed, my balls, but all to no avail! I also had forgotten what it felt like at the top, so I cheated my way up there and realized that I had lost the mobility and strength I needed to get my chest over the bar and lock out my arms. This initially started as a nostalgic strength challenge inspired by young Lucas, but I really got into it and I had a lot of fun even though I didn’t get a single muscle up in 25 tries. It felt good to move my old bones this fast and this way, so it’s become my new goal to get my muscle up back. Aloha
