Band Assisted Muscle-Up
The bar muscle-up with a band looped over the bar under the feet; the band lifts through the pull and the turn over the bar, where the move usually stalls.
How to do it
Setup
Band looped over the bar, both feet in the loop, overhand grip shoulder-width, arms straight.
Steps
- Pull hard and high, driving the bar toward the lower chest.
- Lean the chest over the bar and roll the shoulders above it.
- Press to straight arms, then lower back to the hang under control.
Common mistakes
Relying on the band's bounce: start every rep from a still hang. One elbow coming over before the other: both shoulders cross the bar together. Dropping from the support: lower through the turn as slowly as you rose.
Breathing
Exhale through the pull and press.
