Back to MU’s!
After an injury break, im really glad to be back. Im knocking the dust off, but happy to be feeling good doing gymnastics! I had several BMU misses today, and I seem to do better when I have a more snappy air chair, but I would like to be more consistent and less chicken wing. Thanks!

@Michelle M Ah yeah that's great! If you bring your knees in just a LITTLE bit more on the AC it will help! Looks great!

Genuinely concerned 🥴
I always thought my BMU were pretty solid. But during QF, it was noticed that my toes are riding the line or even going above the plane of the bar. I did some today and positioned the camera a bit higher to see. I always thought this rule was created so folks would not do a "glide kip". But now I'm torn- I feel like I have to rewire how I've been doing bmus. I always followed the air chair practice. But it seems that doing the air chair is when my toes go above or "ride the line"? @Travis Ewart Would like to hear your thoughts on this! Thanks!

@Deborah Muncy you just need to bend your knees more in the air chair... That's it! Nice!

Hi Travis, been awhile since I’ve worked on these. Finally out of the season of qualifiers and the open. Appreciate any feedback on what you see. Took a few videos.

@Chase Chastain This is better! I would agree that you need to continue working on getting that earlier hip extension during the leg swing so you get a little bit more height and avoid getting your body to horizontal. That will decrease the amount of height you ultimately get which might be one of the issues, if not THE issue that you're having preventing you from getting your chest to the bar. How is your grip width? I normally suggest that you're hands are wider than on regular pull-ups as this decreases the amount of bend in your elbow and doesn't require your scaps to squeeze together so much to reach the bar. It basically gives you more range of motion in both your elbows and your shoulders so you can pop your chest at the bar.

Yes, it is pretty typical that you might work on everything throughout the year, except for the one skill that surprises you in the Open! Murphy's Law, they say 😉 This is not hopeless. Swing faster on the forward swing, then snap your straight legs backward as far as you can, then V up to get on top. Here are some videos that can help: https://youtu.be/Sj0lDx599Bs https://youtu.be/VZYjNAHCmo8 https://youtu.be/UR_sWuM6LM8 https://youtube.com/shorts/vz1ODF3gn7I https://youtube.com/shorts/mmZNCL6k9pI
