The progressive resistance system that turns weighted pull-ups into muscle-up breakthroughs—without adding more training time
Here's why so many athletes and fitness enthusiasts are adding weight to their pull-up training.
You can do 10, maybe 15 pull-ups. But every time you try a muscle-up, you get stuck at the bar. You pull, you struggle, and you can't make that transition over the top.
Here's the problem: Regular pull-ups build endurance, but they don't build the explosive power needed for a muscle-up. Your body adapts to bodyweight, so you plateau. You need to make your pull-ups harder to force your muscles to develop more strength.
When you add a Ryken Weighted Vest to your pull-up training, that familiar pull-up now requires 20-30% more force. Your lats work harder. Your biceps engage deeper. Your core stabilizes under load.
Studies show weighted pull-ups develop significantly more strength than high-rep bodyweight training. With Ryken, you're not just doing more reps—you're building the explosive power that unlocks the muscle-up.
You've been stuck at the same level for months. You train pull-ups three times a week, but your muscle-up still feels impossible.
The problem? Your body has adapted. Without progressive overload, you're just maintaining—not improving.
Adding weight creates immediate progression. That set of 8 pull-ups you could do? Now it's a challenging 5 with the vest. When you take the vest off, your bodyweight feels lighter, your pull feels faster, and suddenly that muscle-up transition becomes achievable.
One athlete put it perfectly: "I trained pull-ups for a year with no muscle-up. Added weight for six weeks. Got my first muscle-up on week seven."
Ryken doesn't make you train longer—it makes your training count more.
The muscle-up isn't just about pulling strength. It's about the transition—that explosive moment where you go from pull to dip.
This requires massive strength in your lats, rear delts, and core. Weighted pull-ups specifically target these muscles. Every rep with the vest forces your body to recruit more muscle fibers.
Your grip strength increases. Your pulling power improves. Your core learns to stabilize under heavier loads. These are the exact adaptations you need to explode over the bar.
With Ryken, you're not just training pull-ups—you're building a muscle-up body
You've seen athletes training with weight belts and plates dangling between their legs. Maybe you've tried it.
The problem? It swings. It shifts your center of gravity. It's uncomfortable and distracting. Most weighted pull-up methods were designed for powerlifters doing low reps—not athletes doing full training sessions with multiple sets.
Ryken was engineered for serious training. The weight stays tight to your body—no swinging or shifting. Ergonomic distribution means it doesn't throw off your form or strain your lower back. You can wear it through your entire workout: pull-ups, dips, push-ups, core work.
One CrossFit athlete said: "I tried a dip belt for months. It killed my lower back. Ryken lets me actually train weighted movements without pain."
Because if your training tool causes discomfort, you won't use it consistently. And consistency is how you unlock that muscle-up.
You've invested time in muscle-up training. Maybe you've bought resistance bands, watched endless tutorials, or paid for coaching. But you're still stuck.
That's why Ryken offers a 60-day money-back guarantee. Train with it. Add it to your pull-up sessions. Push your limits under load.
If you don't feel your pull-ups getting stronger... if you don't notice your explosive power improving... if you don't get closer to that first muscle-up—return it for a full refund. No questions asked.
We're confident you'll feel the difference in your first week. Try Ryken. You'll never train pull-ups without it again—that's a promise.
Here's what most people get wrong about weighted training: they buy one vest and plateau in 8 weeks.
Your body adapts to 12lbs of resistance just like it adapted to your bodyweight. When that happens, progress stops. You're back to maintaining instead of improving.
The Progressive Overload Bundle solves this.
You get three vests—12lbs, 16lbs, and 20lbs—designed to progress with your strength gains:
Weeks 1-4: Start with Beginner (12lbs). Your body feels resistance again. Pull-ups get challenging. Walks burn more calories.
Weeks 5-8: Level up to Intermediate (16lbs). Your strength increased, so your training must too. Unweighted pull-ups feel effortless now.
Weeks 9-12: Push to Expert (20lbs). This is where explosive power builds. This is where muscle-ups unlock.
You also get:
The math: $282 value for $222. You save $60 and never plateau.
Most athletes who buy a single vest come back 8 weeks later to buy heavier. Don't make that mistake. Get the bundle. Progress continuously. Hit your muscle-up in 12 weeks.
I was just looking for a vest, but the Progressive Overload Bundle was a no-brainer. The vest instantly made my push-ups & muscle ups tougher, and i was able to start with 12lbs my first week & by my 3rd month i was able to do 20lbs, I've never looked better & felt stronger.
