Muscle-Up: how to do it and form tips

An elite calisthenics movement combining a pull-up and a bar dip in one fluid motion. The ultimate test of upper-body pulling and pushing strength.

Form tips

  1. Master strict pull-ups and bar dips before attempting — you need both.
  2. Drive your elbows forward aggressively at the top of the pull to transition over the bar.
  3. Use a false grip (wrist over the bar) to make the transition smoother.
