Muscle-Up vs Ring Muscle up
FR : Muscle-Up ↔ Muscle up aux anneaux
Swapping Muscle-Up (Bodyweight) for Ring Muscle up (Bodyweight) retains 100% overlap; expect alternative path. Compare exact 17-muscle fractional recruitment before swapping equipment mid-session.
Weighted Muscle Overlap
100%
Sum of min(coef A, coef B)

Target RPE 7.5–8.5
Never assume 1:1 kg across leverages
Side-by-Side 17-Muscle Recruitment Delta
How primary mover (1.0× set) and synergist (0.5× set) allocation changes when swapping Muscle-Up for Ring Muscle up.
| Muscle Group | Muscle-Up | Ring Muscle up | Leverage Shift |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lats (Latissimus Dorsi) | Primary (32%) | Primary (32%) | Matched |
| Triceps Brachii | Primary (20%) | Primary (20%) | Matched |
| Biceps Brachii & Brachialis | Secondary (16%) | Secondary (16%) | Matched |
| Chest (Pectoralis Major) | Secondary (16%) | Secondary (16%) | Matched |
| Upper Back (Rhomboids / Mid-Traps) | Secondary (16%) | Secondary (16%) | Matched |
Load & Volume Conversion: Muscle-Up → Ring Muscle up
Worked weight heuristic: a 70 kg set on Muscle-Up (Bodyweight) maps roughly to 70 kg on Ring Muscle up (Bodyweight; 2.5 kg jumps, curve: alternative curve). Calibrate set 1 at RPE 8 so e1RM history for Muscle-Up remains unskewed. Zero anatomical muscles are dropped between Muscle-Up and Ring Muscle up; 1:1 weekly set volume carries straight across.
