Do Pull-Ups Instead Of Lat Pulldowns

Build weighted pull-ups to 5 reps at 50% bodyweight and advanced calisthenics skills like muscle-ups and front levers become accessible.

How To Get Your First Muscle-Up

You need 10 bodyweight pull-ups and 10 straight bar dips as prerequisites, then build to weighted pull-ups at 25% bodyweight for 5 reps, 3 chest-to-bar pull-ups, and a 30-second hollow body hold before attempting muscle-ups.

Effort and progressive overload drive pull-up gains more than technique cues, but three mechanical details — grip width (1.5–2x shoulder width), full range of motion (arms straight to chin over bar), and tempo intent — are worth locking in.

Muscle-Up Exercises You’ve Never Tried Before

Front lever pulls offer a direct one-to-one strength transfer to muscle ups by training straight-arm scapular strength in hollow body position.
