The bar muscle-up is one of the most rewarding skills in CrossFit, but progressing is hard . You give it your best, chalk-up, jump up, get stuck at a single rep & try again. That's the loop most people stay stuck in for months.

This 8-week add-on breaks the loop. With 2 +/-20 minute sessions, that you can add on to your regular training, this program teaches you the fundamentals. It gives gets the volume you need, skills you require & helps you build the strength. You'll learn kipping mechanics, and transition techniques needed to string reps together with control.

By week 8, the goal is sets of 5, maybe more. No guesswork, no fluff programming. Just the specific work that makes the bar muscle-up click.

Grab the program below and run the first session this week.
