Muscle-Up — back compound exercise in the LIFTAG library

Muscle-Up

Compound · Weight × reps

Reverse the sequence under control to return to the hang. A bar muscle-up combines a powerful pull-up, transition, and straight-bar dip, training the back, arms, chest, shoulders, and trunk. It requires strong pull-ups and dips plus practiced transition timing. Learn with appropriate progressions and clear space; avoid uncontrolled kipping or dropping from the top.

HOW TO DO MUSCLE-UP

  1. Hang from a secure bar with an overhand grip, create tension through the trunk and shoulders, then pull explosively so the chest rises above the bar.
  2. Lean the torso over the bar as the wrists roll on top, press out of the transition, and finish with straight arms.
