You’ve made it to the final week of the 4-Week Muscle-Up Planner! By now, you’ve built strength, endurance, and explosive power. In this last phase, we’re focusing on maximizing power output, wearing a weight vest, and fine-tuning the skills you’ve developed.

This is where it all comes together. Week 4 is about channeling everything you’ve learned and pushing your limits to solidify your ability to master the muscle-up.

Why Power Training is the Final Step

Power is the magic ingredient that transforms strength into action. In muscle-ups, it’s the force that propels you from the pull-up into the transition and dip. Week 4’s focus on power training ensures you have:

  1. Explosive Pulling Strength: To get your chest above the bar.

  2. Grip Confidence: For the let-go pull-ups and dynamic movements.

  3. Stamina and Recovery: With proper rest intervals to perform at your best.

With this workout, you’re priming your body to execute muscle-ups with precision and control.

The Week 4 Workout Plan

 Pull-Ups: 3 Reps (Go Up Fast)

Why it’s important: Explosive pull-ups build the fast-twitch muscle fibers needed for the muscle-up’s pulling phase.

How to do it:

  1. Pull up as fast as possible, focusing on generating maximum force.

  2. Lower yourself in a controlled motion before pulling up explosively again.

Tips:

  1. Keep your core tight and focus on proper form.

  2. Visualize pulling yourself over the bar with each rep.

 

2. Arm Pulldowns: 21 Reps

Why it’s important: Arm pulldowns strengthen your lats and mimic the pulling motion of muscle-ups, enhancing your ability to transition.

How to do it:

  1. Use a resistance band or cable machine.

  2. Keep the movement slow and controlled, focusing on engaging your lats.

Tips:

  1. Avoid using momentum—let your muscles do the work.

  2. Squeeze your shoulder blades together at the bottom of the movement.

Let-Go Pull-Ups: 7 Reps

Why it’s important: Let-go pull-ups improve grip strength and prepare you for the dynamic grip adjustments needed during muscle-ups.

How to do it:

  1. Perform a pull-up, release the bar briefly at the top, and re-grip before lowering yourself.

  2. Focus on maintaining control and confidence in your grip.

Tips:

  1. Start with a small release if you’re new to this exercise.

  2. Increase the height of your release as you build confidence.

Recovery: 7-9 Hours of Sleep

Why it’s important: Recovery is the secret to maximizing strength and power. Without proper rest, your muscles won’t rebuild and grow.

Tips:

  1. Prioritize consistent sleep schedules.

  2. Avoid screens and heavy meals before bed to improve sleep quality.

 

Rest Intervals

  1. Between Reps: Take a 1-minute break to recover.

  2. Between Sets: Take a 3-minute break to ensure maximum performance for each set.

Week 4 is about finishing strong. You’ve come so far, and now it’s time to put it all together and prepare for your first muscle-up. Trust the process, push yourself, and remember why you started.
