Not exactly. I start with my feet on a bench so that I can use a bit of leg drive to get myself up there. Although I haven't tested to see what would happen if I tried kipping my way up. I have the strength to do muscle ups, but seem to be lacking in the velocity department of the pull. It's a work in progress.
