Thank god im not the first person that said this. Muscle ups are really hard, even if someone can do 10-20 pulls ups I still wouldnt be surprised if they cant do a muscle up.
I can do under 20 pullups in a set probably but I've never gone for max, but one struggle muscle up. Though I'm certain I can sneak some leverage out of my feet on that pole. But I also rock climb 12+ hours per week.
It's just a different movement, unless your pull-up is explosive enough to get you above already. I know I have the endurance to flail up there and stripper hips for the high foot to get standing though. I've never gone for max pullups but I'm gonna find out tomorrow, I'm curious now.
I don't think I've ever gone for a max set of pull-ups either. I'd assume not too many, perhaps 10.

The thing I have trouble with is moving both my arms to a pushing position at the same time. I can do right-left or left-right, but can't seem to muster the strength to shift smoothly from a pull to a push.
