  • Muscles targeted
    •  Lats
  • Other Muscles
    • Abdominals, Biceps, Forearms, Middle Back, Shoulders, Traps, Triceps

  • Try to keep the rings closer to your body as possible.
  • Catch the ring with false grip (thumbs on the top) and tighten your gut.
  • The closer the rings with your body the easier the muscle-up

  • Do not perform Muscle-up exercise if you are just a beginner of cross fit exercise or if you have less confidence.  Since, Muscle-up is one of the most advance movements in CrossFit, but also it is the most rewarding exercise.
  • Do not go directly to advance Muscle-up, first be comfortable with the standard Muscle-up(without holding any weight)
  • Do not allow your body to rotate –keep your legs stationary during the movement.
