Strict Ring Muscle-Up Tutorial

A step-by-step tutorial you can follow through.

A goal for every CrossFit athlete, the ring muscle-up is an incredibly demanding and technical exercise. Check out this strict ring muscle-up tutorial created by Marcus Filly.

Marcus Filly, a 4x CrossFit Games athlete, is the founder of the popular training program Functional Bodybuilding, which mixes functional exercises with aesthetic training and focuses on longevity.

“If you train to do pull-ups and dips at the gym, then I would encourage you to consider working on building the skill of a ring muscle-up,” Filly says.

According to his strict ring muscle-up tutorial, strength is key. While most people will try to do the kipping variation utilising hip and shoulder power to achieve the muscle-up. However, if you don’t have the underlying strength, it can be “dangerous, and you may find yourself getting stuck, plateaued and super frustrated.”
