MOVE. | Calisthenics journey

Struggling with the muscle-up? You’re not alone. I’ve been there too, frustrated, stuck and convinced I was doing all the right progressions. But here’s what finally helped me break through, and I hope it helps you too 💪🏾

Instead of treating the muscle-up as one move. I broke it down into 3 key components and trained them individually:

1. Hip pop - drive your hips as close to the bar as possible while pulling.

2. Diagonal pulling strength - you’re not just pull straight up like a regular pull up. You need to pull diagonally back & up, or the bar will always get in your way.

3. Lean over + Elbow scoop timing - this is where most people struggle, and where I found myself struggling the most. Muscle-Ups require timing and coordination, you’ve got to lean over the bar AND scoop your elbows around at the right moment to finish the transition.

Understanding these mechanics made a huge difference for me. Once it clicks it really does get easier.
