muscle-up
Pull, then press
A muscle-up is a gymnastics and calisthenics exercise combining a pull-up with a dip—you pull yourself up to a bar or rings, then transition above them and push up to full arm extension.
It requires significant upper body strength and coordination: It took me six months to get my first muscle-up.
Common in CrossFit training.
