01 / Steps
How to do it
Get underneath the bar.
Perform a push-up and then a jump.
When you're in the air, grab the bar and complete a full muscle up.
Try to be slightly behind the bar when you jump towards it so that you have some momentum, as if you are right underneath it you will get stuck and it will be difficult to complete the muscle up.
