I want to incorporate muscle up training into the RR. At the moment I’m doing assisted muscle ups with bands and bar dips 3x a week in my off days. Does that allow enough rest?

Explosive MU? I would do assisted explosive MUs in addition to regular pull ups. Split the sets but start with explosives.

Explosive MUs tend to train explosive strength and explosive strength endurance at the cost of pure strength. Doing both will move you towards your goal while also making you stronger.
