Weighted Muscle Up (On Bar)

How to perform

To perform the Weighted Muscle Up on Bar, you will need a pull-up bar and a weight belt with a weight plate attached. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to do the exercise:

1. Begin by attaching the weight belt with a weight plate to your body, making sure it is secure and comfortable.

2. Grip the pull-up bar with both hands, slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, palms facing away from you.

3. Engage your core and pull yourself up towards the bar, leading with your chest and keeping your elbows close to your body.

4. Once your chin is above the bar, transition smoothly into the dip by pushing yourself up while simultaneously leaning forward slightly.

5. Continue to push until your arms are fully extended, then slowly lower yourself back down to the starting position.

6. Repeat the movement for the desired number of reps, focusing on maintaining control and proper form throughout.

7. To increase the difficulty of the exercise, you can gradually increase the weight attached to the weight belt.

It's important to warm up properly before attempting the Weighted Muscle Up on Bar, and to use caution when adding weight to avoid injury. If you are new to this exercise, start with bodyweight Muscle Ups and gradually progress to weighted variations as you build strength and confidence.
