![]() ![]() That is what really separates a regular pull up and the pull up that is part of a muscle up. This could happen for the very few that actually have spend some time doing their pull ups all the way up, not just stopping at the chin, but pulling all the way till the chest touches the bar, or your shoulders are all the way above it. But then teaching any person capable of pull ups, false grip, should get them their muscle up or at least in conjunction with teaching them the transition. You could also argue that the difference comes with the grip, as you, for the most part, will use “false grip” on muscle ups and regular finger/hook grip on pull ups. Anyone can see, that a muscle up is started by doing a pull up, but if the start of a muscle up is just a pull up, then why aren’t everybody that are able to do a pull up, capable of muscle ups? Some will claim, that the reason for this, lies in the transition, that I just labeled, as being insignificant. Let us start with the pull up part of a muscle up. I am very well aware of there being a thing, as the transition in between, but training/strength-wise and looking at alternatives to the actual movement, this transition phase is insignificant. It basically consist of a high pull up and the pressing part of a dip. Let’s start by breaking down the muscle up, which is done rather easily. You may want to reap the benefits of the muscle up, without performing the actual exercise since you are either unable to perform it, or does not have the equipment available. There can be several reasons why you would be looking for alternatives to muscle ups. What I suspect this posts ends up being, is actually both a guide to alternatives, but probably also a guide that would enable you to train your way to the actual muscle up. At first I thought it would be rather silly to look for something that replaces this fine movement, but the more I thought about it, I actually liked the idea of writing an article about it, since breaking movements down, often gives you a better understanding of how they are performed. I somewhere, came across someone searching for an alternative to the muscle up. ![]()
