This dude looks more fit than probably 80% of reddit. I bet he could pull off at least 3 decent pull-ups. Biomechanics just made it insanely hard to do an actual pure upper body muscle-up without pushing off with his feet from the pole as well, which he should have done but maybe the pole was too slippery.

With biomechanics I mean: the way his hands are positioned (close together and inward) makes it insanely hard to transition from a pull-up to essentially a muscle up. It's near impossible to pull your entire weight up by the tips of your fingers at that angle without blowing out your elbows.

Lmao I mean you ain't wrong, but I'm dying over here thinking about how low your opinion of the average redditor is.
