Muscle-up in 30 Days?

We tested a 4-week plan to achieve your first muscle-up. Does it work?

Introduction

Muscle-ups are one of the most impressive calisthenics moves. But are they achievable within 30 days? In this blog, we share a structured 4-week program tested by beginners aiming to master their first muscle-up.

🗓 Week 1: Build Your Pull Strength

  • Dead hangs and scapula pull-ups for grip and control
  • Negative pull-ups to develop upper-body strength
  • Track progress by increasing reps and hold duration

⚡ Week 2: Add Explosiveness

  • Practice explosive pull-ups (chest to bar)
  • Add parallel bar dips and assisted transitions
  • Use resistance bands for extra support

🔁 Week 3: Combine & Simulate

  • Do pull-to-dip combinations
  • Start attempting assisted muscle-ups
  • Focus on the pull-dip transition motion

🎯 Week 4: Attempt & Refine

  • Try unassisted muscle-ups every alternate day
  • Film your form and make corrections
  • Prioritize rest and shoulder mobility

✅ Conclusion

While not everyone may master the muscle-up in just 30 days, this plan builds explosive power and technique. With consistency and patience, many participants saw huge improvements—and some got their first rep!

Note: Progress varies by person. Stay consistent, stay motivated!
