What is a Muscle UP?

What do you need to do a Muscle UP?
To get a Muscle Up It is key to develop strength in the upper train, work a good resistance from your dominate and master the Kipping movement.
Transitions for a ‘Muscle UP ’
Once we have gained strength in the upper train, we have the ‘dominated’ dominated (never better) and we have internalized the Kipping; We enter the transition phase until we reach Get the ‘bar Muscle Up ’. These are some of them:
✅ Rack bar transition
Place a bar on the rack and tie some tires to prevent the bar from slipping and it is safer to make this transition. Once you have everything placed, get right in the middle of the bar, grab this with your hands (always with the thumb surrounding the bar) and groove so that your feet are touching the ground. First we start without kipping, you will have to jump driving with your legs and trying to take your hip to the bar, so that the movement is as close as possible to what we would do in the Muscle Up. The idea is that by giving you impulse with your legs, you can pass your body over the bar as we would in the Muscle Up. Once you have it dominated, we go to the execution of this transition with kipping, that is, making a balance (Hollow-Arch) before taking the hip to the bar.
✅ Transition With drawer
Place a drawer (if possible wood, since they are more stable) just below the high bar that you are going to hang to make this transition to the UP muscle. As with the previous transition we begin without kipping, that is, jumping vertically. Once that movement is clear, we continue with Kipping With your feet resting on the drawer, so that it helps you drive up and get out of your arms over the bar. As you have security with that transition, the ideal is that you go down the height of the drawer and use a single foot to drive.
✅ Transition with rubber
Look for a rubber (or several, according to the extra force you need) and take it out of the bar, enter a foot into the rubber, make the Kipping And as you try to bring your hip to the bar and spread your arms above the bar. As with the drawer, the ideal is that the gums are increasingly having less resistance as time passes, until you can do it without a rubber.
