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] Build your kipping handstand push-up step by step.
These drills help you connect the pieces, timing, shoulder drive, and efficient use of your hips. Focus on staying tight, pushing through the shoulders, and using the kip to create upward momentum, not just pressing.
Don’t rush it. Clean reps first, then add speed.

![[ad] Y-Band Work
Two bands, one setup → endless shoulder benefits.
By linking two bands into a Y-shape (check the last clip for how to set it up), you can create a super simple but powerful tool for:
✅ Shoulder activation before training
✅ Prehab to keep your joints healthy
✅ Building stability and strength in all the little muscles that often get overlooked
Perfect for warm-ups or as part of your accessory work.

![[ad] Ring + Band Push-Ups 🔥
Here’s a simple but super effective way to make your Push-Ups cleaner, stronger, and more scalable:
👉 Thread a band through a low-hanging ring, slip into it like a backpack, and get into Push-Up position.
Why this works:
✅ The band gives you support, especially at the hardest part of the movement.
✅ You can focus on keeping your core tight and technique sharp.
✅ The band thickness = adjustable assistance.
✅ The ring height = more or less challenge.
This setup lets you practice with higher volume and better form, while still being able to push progression.
Would you try this variation in your training? 👇](https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.71878-15/703181524_1520474546398121_2619148124615778456_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&_nc_cat=103&ccb=7-5&_nc_sid=18de74&efg=eyJlZmdfdGFnIjoiQ0xJUFMuYmVzdF9pbWFnZV91cmxnZW4uQzMifQ%3D%3D&_nc_ohc=ry3gIXzX5yMQ7kNvwHtkBQ4&_nc_oc=Adp3G6ME9FB3yrT3M2cU_Hb_PDNcZsTLs0fikHdvN2jEeHCQ3tau6wpv6ogd_8XovSQ&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent.cdninstagram.com&edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&_nc_gid=TzLJpvUto31Eo5-yo4bXYg&_nc_tpa=Q5bMBQFmuloABGoE66xBFH3wTNHotKrBD_RcpUAYVYEGJ8j6g1SUUjk_xbwN7nX_po3BREC0GqWGWMei&oh=00_Af4iqK_UyVKoqvz02rCNRvFS2_oWxN-Ltt-eGbSm381mvA&oe=6A1E0677)
![[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] Compression makes skills possible
These three banded drills target compression, a key quality for skills like toes to bar and the press to handstand. The goal is simple: bring upper and lower body closer together with control.
Drill 1: Attach the band to the rack and work in a pike position. Actively press the band forward and try to move it past your feet. This teaches active hip flexion and core engagement.
Drill 2: Move into a straddle or pancake position. Press the band forward while folding at the hips and reaching your torso further ahead. This challenges compression in a wider stance and improves active range.
Drill 3: Attach the band higher on the rack or pull-up bar. Stand on a box, keep the legs long, fold at the hips and press the band downward as far as possible. This connects compression with a more vertical setup.
All three drills help you build active control, not just passive flexibility, so your compression actually transfers to skills.](https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.71878-15/698359773_1703443013999899_6719519320069467382_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&_nc_cat=102&ccb=7-5&_nc_sid=18de74&efg=eyJlZmdfdGFnIjoiQ0xJUFMuYmVzdF9pbWFnZV91cmxnZW4uQzMifQ%3D%3D&_nc_ohc=W6jY6Iuj94QQ7kNvwFNtYsg&_nc_oc=Ado8ZpAWay7CQkF8JQ0g53P-m7dLceX08UAOylYseDMv_5cpaWMvdVZmOrPLDDxR5Ms&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent.cdninstagram.com&edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&_nc_gid=TzLJpvUto31Eo5-yo4bXYg&_nc_tpa=Q5bMBQEgEw3OOhPiRJEEAnt5jlkXY4EwZ_jeMBFCG4GJ4C7GxOuZdA4f889vjhsQ-MII34kjLD7dizH0&oh=00_Af7C08gThg2v7fmsmABBl_PRRyVume2XMzEqehfEnSD0wA&oe=6A1E3D0B)
