It’s definitely a different movement but great for teaching athletes to finish and not shift forward to the balls of their feet early

So you broke the first set of muscle-ups then went unbroken? Was the first set a warm-up? 🙂

On SHSPU it hurts when lowering and initiating the movement up, I have to make a few attempts each time we do them before I can do a full rep with minimal pain. On push press it hurts when I get into position and take the… Read more »

Could be a number of things. Personally I get similar pain which stems from poor wrist mobility which causes a chain reaction that leads to shoulder pain. I know others have the same issue but they have issues with your labrum. I would recommend having a PT assess to get to the route of the problem then work from there.

Hope this helps.

Yea I’m confident I would have went unbroken on 2 sets for sure. The longer straps make it harder for me but I wanted to put them up after regionals. Harder to stabilize for me on the turnover and the distance apart. But I’m getting better with them.

Our rings hang from about 25ft high, they are a fair bit harder but make going back to short straps feel great!

Yea ! Same thing. We have around that same height. You get more swing but as you get tired it’s much harder to stabilize. Good and bad.

Exactly ! I’m hoping the better I get with the longer ones will make using anything shorter much easier. They can’t get any longer than what we have up lol

Very true! It’s just disheartening when you think you are improving and then you go on long straps and it feels ? again! On the positive side…most comps will have short straps so we are winning if we have long ?
