Unlock Your First Ring Muscle-Up: A Step-by-Step Guide

Writer: John QuinnJohn Quinn

The ring muscle-up is the ultimate combination of strength, skill, and body control. It’s not just about looking strong—it’s about being strong, mobile, and technically proficient. If you’ve been chasing the thrill of conquering this advanced gymnastic skill, you’re in the right place. With my eBook, Mastering the Ring Muscle-Up, and this curated YouTube playlist, you’ll have everything you need to achieve your first successful rep!


Why Master the Ring Muscle-Up?

Mastering the ring muscle-up isn’t just about ticking off an impressive skill from your bucket list. This movement delivers:

  • Comprehensive Upper-Body Strength: Engage your lats, biceps, triceps, chest, shoulders, and even your core with every rep.

  • Functional Athleticism: Improve coordination, proprioception, and body control—skills that translate to other workouts and sports.

  • Mental Toughness: The patience and perseverance required to master this skill build more than just physical strength.


Breaking Down the Movements

To make the muscle-up achievable for everyone, my eBook takes a step-by-step approach, progressing from beginner drills to advanced techniques. Here’s a sneak peek:

  1. Ring Support Hold: Before you even attempt the pull, master holding yourself stable above the rings. This builds core stability and shoulder control, key for the muscle-up transition.

  2. The False Grip: Essential for a smooth transition, the false grip might feel awkward initially, but it’s a game-changer. Practice false grip hangs to strengthen your wrists and forearms.

  3. Pull-Ups with Purpose: Ring pull-ups are your bread and butter. Learn to maintain a hollow body position and pull with control to the bottom of your chest.

  4. Core Control: Hollow & Arch Holds - These foundational exercises teach you to engage your core effectively, transferring power from the pull phase to the transition and dip.

  5. The Transition Phase: The trickiest part! My eBook provides drills like false grip transitions to help you smoothly move from the pull-up to the dip phase, and understand the position better.
