Calisthenics Workshop ~ Unlock The Muscle-up

An intermediate calisthenics workshop focused on building to your first muscle-up with strength and technique.

The muscle-up is one of the most iconic calisthenics skills - but it’s also one of the most misunderstood.

This 75-minute workshop is designed for those who already have a base level of strength and want to learn the muscle-up properly, without bad habits, swinging, or guesswork.

Prerequisites:
You should be able to perform at least one strict pull-up and one strict dip to attend this workshop.

Led by CaliUnity co-founder Ollie Chick, the session will break the muscle-up down into clear, achievable components, focusing on:

• Understanding the muscle-up pathway and mechanics
• Building the strength and coordination required
• Transition drills and timing
• False grip and grip positioning
• Common mistakes (and how to avoid them)
• Scaled progressions to match your current level

This is not about forcing reps or “just getting over the bar or rings.”
It’s about learning how muscle-ups actually work, so you can train them safely and consistently.

This workshop is ideal if you:

• Can do at least one pull-up and one dip
• Want to work towards your first muscle-up
• Have tried before but feel stuck
• Want better technique, not shortcuts

You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of where you’re at, what’s holding you back, and exactly how to train towards your first clean muscle-up.
