Frequently asked questions

What is a muscle-up?

A muscle-up combines a pull-up with a dip — the athlete pulls above the bar and presses out at the top. It requires significant pulling strength and technique. Most calisthenics coaches recommend a base of 12-15 strict pull-ups before attempting muscle-ups.
