Whether you are new to Welded or you have been doing it for years, chances are that you are well aware of what a muscle up is.   Some have mastered this movement while others dream of the day in which they will complete their very first one.   In the Welded world being able to get a muscle up is a badge of honor worn proudly by those who work so hard to finally make it over and on top of the rings.   So why does this one movement elude so many of us?  The answer is quite simple stop using the false grip!

By Derek Wellock This past weekend I was watching the news and they had a fitness segment about how you can change your health and body with this easy to follow program.  As it is my job, I tuned in and watched…. Immediately after I was pissed off.
