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] If your kipping ring muscle-up feels inconsistent, lower the rings.
Low rings are perfect to learn the movement pattern without fighting height or fear.
You can slow everything down, understand the swing, control the transition, and feel where the legs and hips need to work.
Once the pattern is clear, gradually add speed.
Same movement. More rhythm. More flow.
Master it low first. Then take it high.](https://scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.71878-15/642553534_895899983435202_7040423438083327496_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&_nc_cat=107&ccb=7-5&_nc_sid=18de74&efg=eyJlZmdfdGFnIjoiQ0xJUFMuYmVzdF9pbWFnZV91cmxnZW4uQzMifQ%3D%3D&_nc_ohc=1NrFMDcsvY4Q7kNvwGgXuZs&_nc_oc=Admp82pBm15Y2x6uI2xaPbddIesrDhgGEWngyacKDuUf3YcD6JQ6Qu6lYHFUcZAAZbY&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-iad3-1.cdninstagram.com&edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&_nc_gid=bN8FvYJY0dby4tRTjiLG_Q&_nc_tpa=Q5bMBQFg82786XON3chG2f1JogudAqBU83Lf9OoqkqG5JoC98nunmq-rlNyzkk8IDqu1xf-xWsH8rTbE&oh=00_AfwgDpq2ddG0Ua4X4j9hS7eAAeAaPfzF9ZKeS5sKVRCM6A&oe=69AEFBFE)

![[AD] Banded Box Press-Up
This is a supported version of the box press-up to help you learn real compression without losing control.
�Place a band around both wrists and step onto the band with your feet. Hands stay on the box, arms straight, shoulders active.
As you slide the feet up the box, the band gives just enough assistance to lift the hips higher.
�This lets you train the exact pattern you need for strong compression, without cheating with momentum.
Focus on pushing the shoulders down, keeping the arms long, and actively pulling the hips up.
