Update #1: Do a muscle up

A muscle up is a tough physical and technical workout motion, combining a pull-up with a dip. My goal is to be able to do just one muscle up
Challenges Overcome: Today I did 3 pull-ups. I need to work on strengthening all of the muscles involved with a muscle up which is almost full body.

Update #2: Working on strengthening the motion

15% complete
Along with pull ups, I am working on strengthening the full movement. Lots of work still to do to get there.
Challenges Overcome: I can do this movement with more than half my body weight at reps.
Obstacles Faced: This machine has a little less range of motion than I would like to practice the full movement.
Next Steps: Work consistently to increase my weight on this movement. I should probably also break this into two separate movements for strengthening, and then do only the transition between the two in one movement.
Looking Back: After looking at this video, it doesn’t seem like my body position is quite right for how people do muscle ups
