Muscle-Up

Definition

A muscle-up is an advanced calisthenics movement that combines a pull-up with a dip, transitioning from a hanging position to a support position above a bar or rings in one fluid motion.

Why it matters

The muscle-up requires pulling strength, explosive hip drive, and mastery of the transition — the skill element that separates it from pull-ups and dips performed separately.
