muscle up
Gain physical power
Muscle up means to summon strength or resolve, often for a difficult task: Time to muscle up and finish this project.
In fitness contexts, a muscle-up is a gymnastic movement combining a pull-up with a dip to lift the body above a bar or rings.
The phrase can also mean to bulk up physically: He muscled up for the role.
