Basic description of a Muscle-Up: Elevating your center of mass from below the rings (hanging) to above the rings in a position of support (arms straight)
Performing the Muscle-Up
- Establish a false grip: rest wrists on the rings and wrap fingers and thumbs around (grab tightly)
- Arms are straight and feet not in contact with the ground
- Maintain a tight mid-section
- Pull your body up so the rings hit the chest
- Transition through the rings into a low dip (thumbs by armpits and elbows high)
- Straighten the arms and press out so arms are completely straight
