The Ring Muscle Workshop was a great experience and brought me much closer to a first Muscle Up. The atmosphere and the training, helping and practicing together was really good. There were also some who have already done their first Muscle Up in the workshop. That was a great motivation. Now I only have to practice hard and then I am convinced that I will soon be able to do it.

A training with Heiko is not for the simple “Push till you die” ones. With expertise, passion and motivation he creates an environment that brings you to your limit without frustration. It is amazing how your performance can be increased by some small correction of posture. Doesn’t matter if you just want to grab your feet with stretched legs or you want to walk on your hands through the shopping mall.
Heiko is the man to get you there.

High Quality is the best definition for Heiko’s coaching! He is one of the people about whom you can say for sure that the commitment he invests before the classes is at least as high as the one he provides during the classes. Always extremely well prepared and eager to find efficient and creative scaling and exercising options. Often so creative that you cannot hold back the laughter (which increases the fun-factor 😃) - but don’t worry, high quality for the best results is still guaranteed!

![[ad] THE MISSING PIECE & FREE GIFT
Many athletes do not feel comfortable catching the Kipping Ring Muscle Ups in the deep dip position. The deep dip position in Kipping RMU feels different than in strict RMU. There is a greater load due to the momentum.
You can increase this load piece by piece with more additional exercises, but in the end you have to make the move at some point and put all the pieces together to form the Kipping RMU.
However, you can still add one drill. To do this, place one foot on a box and jump off with it. The movement is very close to the real Kipping RMU.
I put together three secrets on how to get your first Kipping Ring Muscle-Up in a FREE gift:

![[ad] How to climb smarter, not just harder 💥 Mastering foot-locks:
1️⃣J-Hook: guide the rope outside your leg, tuck one foot underneath and clamp with the other — fast, but demands grip.
2️⃣ S-Wrap: wrap the rope fully around your calf, stand on it with your other foot — super stable but slower.
3️⃣ Z-Lock (or Z-Wrap): pinch the rope only between both feet, no wrapping around — clean, efficient, and lets you drive with your legs.
Legs do the work, not just your arms. Save energy, climb smarter.](https://scontent-den2-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.71878-15/587553264_1235782465284999_7802341040819691550_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&_nc_cat=109&ccb=7-5&_nc_sid=18de74&efg=eyJlZmdfdGFnIjoiQ0xJUFMuYmVzdF9pbWFnZV91cmxnZW4uQzMifQ%3D%3D&_nc_ohc=RJRRpuRFyA8Q7kNvwE2ZeQG&_nc_oc=Admn-LTs1ebND3URCmakCtloVVO27fpGbrZoe8UgkxXvtI8L78TpakOS8QWYCWx4Vp4&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-den2-1.cdninstagram.com&edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&_nc_gid=hLAtUsEgAS-3ccJLjhwauQ&oh=00_AfgNyUWwFIgtJG6uywjajJQu_cr0PWeWuhAXGhFcsASB_w&oe=693235BA)
![[AD] Struggling with Kipping Bar Muscle-Ups? This Glide Kip Drill Will Change Everything 💪
This assisted glide kip variation is a game-changer for building the transition strength and timing you need for clean bar muscle-ups.
The Setup:
Set up a low bar. Loop a resistance band around your lower back, drape it over the bar, and step both feet into the band to create constant upward assistance. Start standing behind the bar.
The Movement:
Begin in a pike position—arms extended, hips pushed back. Swing forward into a hollow body position, then drive into an aggressive toes-to-bar. As your feet come down, glide along the bar from your feet all the way to your hips, using that momentum to pull yourself through the transition and finish on top of the bar. The band supports you through the entire glide and turnover.
Why This Works:
The band removes just enough bodyweight to let you practice the full movement pattern without the strength barrier. You’ll build the specific timing, shoulder positioning, and core tension that make bar muscle-ups feel smooth instead of forced. Think of it as grooving the motor pattern before loading it fully.

![[AD] Smooth Out Your Bar Muscle Up Timing
The Box Drop Kipping Bar Muscle Up shown in stop motion breaks the movement into clear phases so you see exactly when to load, drive and transition.
Step off the box, let your body fall into a controlled arch, then snap into a tight hollow to create upward momentum. The stop motion highlights how the hip pop and fast turnover connect into one clean rhythm.
Use this drill to dial in timing, reduce hesitation and build a more efficient kipping pattern.](https://scontent-den2-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.71878-15/583505528_2090370831724994_2799901353441078980_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&_nc_cat=107&ccb=7-5&_nc_sid=18de74&efg=eyJlZmdfdGFnIjoiQ0xJUFMuYmVzdF9pbWFnZV91cmxnZW4uQzMifQ%3D%3D&_nc_ohc=CfpnIdo5Xq0Q7kNvwHW9om9&_nc_oc=Adm1ZGHknAUFGOnalve95Z67c1zfB7aJXUwes3pOiwPj9WaWPdiLUXnoBG3gGeOfCoU&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-den2-1.cdninstagram.com&edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&_nc_gid=hLAtUsEgAS-3ccJLjhwauQ&oh=00_AfgLbEyQ_bLKSed27l0eXaeiarTvNPkh0LbDTV5CF5D3vw&oe=693235F2)
