“The most important thing is that they show strength throughout the entire range of motion before they can just chuck a muscle-up,” Alexandra Lachance said. “The athlete needs to be able to do strict pull-ups and ring dips before we start thinking about muscle-ups. They also need to be able to hold themselves in every single position of a muscle-up, meaning they have to be able to do a static hold at the top of the ring dip and the bottom of the ring dip, and they need to be able to hold their chest at the rings.”
