Hi guys, i just started training with rings, i can do the muscle up without kipping, but what is the correct position of the scapula during the movement? Protracted or retracted? I know that in a pull-up it should be retracted, so i think also in the muscle up, but i'm not sure! Help me!

There will always be some protraction as you go through the transition, don't worry about that. Just follow Zach's advice and you'll be good to go.

Ok, i wanted to be sure to do it in the best way. So retracted in the pull and inevitably a little bit protracted in the transition and dip, it's correct?

Joshua Naterman

Essentially, yes. Don't overthink this, just make sure you feel stable.

Ok, thank you!
