Ring Muscle-Ups
A) Foundations Building Superset
For someone who is not yet strong enough, and thus will benefit more from strength work than skill work.
A1) 5-7 x 1-3 Strict Perfect Pull-Ups or Ring Pull-Ups
A2) 5-7 x 3-5 Dips. Rings, or Matador
A3) 5-7 x :10 x 2 Ring or Box Support hold
Rotate through the exercises in order, resting as needed to make each exercise challenging while holding perfect positions. Use bands as needed on the Pull-Ups. Use bands or perform Bench Dip as needed on the Dips.
B) Low Ring Transition Work
For someone who has the requisite strength, but little to no experience on the rings or trying Muscle-Ups.
5-7 x 3-5 Strict Low Ring Transitions
Move without momentum and always establish mature support positions at the bottom and top of the rings (if pressing out the Dip) on each and every rep.
C) Dynamic Muscle-Up Transitions
For someone who has done a few Strict Muscle-Ups or has the requisite strength and is very close.
8-15 x 1-2.
If you can consistently perform these well then try attempts on the high rings.
D) Muscle-Up Consistency/Capacity Work
Every Minute on the Minute x 12:
1) 10 Russian Kettlebell Swings
2) 1-5 Muscle-Ups (Strict or Kipping)
The goal of this work is to perform ring muscle ups in a semi-fatigued state. If the Muscle-Ups alone are very challenging for you then skip the swings and do Muscle-Ups every other minute.
