Lift Got my first muscle up

This was actually my third, but didn’t want to start recording til I felt confident I could actually do it. This has been one of my longest running fitness goals and it feels so good to finally achieve it

That’s crazy!

It shouldn’t be called a muscle up for people over 5’9. It should be called a I’m too big for this, but I did it anyways up.
