The Muscle Up is more technique than pure strength. With that being said, we do recommend being able to do at least 10 pull ups and 15 dips before even trying to attempt to learn the muscle up. For a full tutorial on the progressions and technique to do a muscle up, please see the youtube tutorial below
We teach the technique of a muscle up with three main pillars.
We teach the technique of a muscle up with three main pillars.
- One Fluid Motion - eliminate the idea of a muscle up being a three step process (pull up, transfer, and dip). It is a continuous Radial (see tutorial video) movement.
- Creating Separation from the Bar - Thinking of the movement as radial allows a separation of the chest from the bar at the midpoint of the muscle up. This separation makes for an easier transfer from chest below bar to chest above bar.
- Wrist Turn Timing - At the peak of your separation from the bar, the wrist turn starts the transition to above the bar. If your timing is too early, the transition can't be completed. If it is too late, you end up having to awkwardly muscle through the rest of the movement.
