Bar Muscle Up

AdvancedBodyweight

The bar muscle-up is done on a pull-up bar, chaining a powerful pull straight into a dip so you finish above the bar. It demands serious upper-body strength through the shoulders, arms, and back, plus the technique to transition smoothly. You'll see it often in gymnastics-style and cross-training work.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Grip the bar overhand with a false grip, thumbs on the same side as your fingers.

  2. 2

    From a hang, pull explosively by driving your elbows down to get your chest up to the bar.

  3. 3

    At the top of the pull, whip your chest forward over the bar and rotate your elbows in toward your armpits.

  4. 4

    Press up by extending your elbows until you're supported above the bar.

  5. 5

    Lower back down under control and push away slightly to return to the hang, then repeat.
