Muscle Up Progressions

You can have a great pull up and super dips and still not have a muscle up. You need to know how to transition from one to another. It happens in the blink of an eye and your body needs many, many and a few more repetitions to begin to understand where it needs to go and get there quickly! We will spend a lot of our time moving slowly through these transitions not under load or very little load.
