Muscle Up - Are You Strong Enough
Most people think the muscle-up is only about “being strong enough.
There is technique involved, of course.
But there is a minimum amount of strength you do need for a muscle up. For example, you would need to be able to do pull-ups before a muscle up.
Here’s the baseline I use with athletes before we even attempt a muscle-up:
✅ 8–10 pull-ups in a row
✅ Chest-to-bar pull-up (not just chin)
✅ 2-3 superfast pull-up with power
✅ 10-second L-sit hold (core strength matters)
✅ Bar dip
If you can do all of these, then you already have what it takes. At that point, it’s not about “getting stronger”—it’s about dialing in technique and transition drills.
If you’ve built the foundation, and then suddenly the skill clicks.

💬 Which of these five checkpoints are you already confident in—and which one do you still need to conquer?
