What it is
A muscle-up on a low bar where a jump from the floor helps you get over the bar. It lets you practice the transition and the dip at the top before you have the pulling strength for a strict rep. Use as little leg help as you can.
Technique tips
- Set the bar around chest or head height
- Jump and pull at the same time
- Bring the chest over the bar quickly
- Press to lockout and lower slowly
How to track your progress
Log reps, and add the extra load if you wear a belt or a vest. Straddly counts your bodyweight in the estimated max, so added weight and extra reps both show up as progress, and new records are flagged during the session.
