Muscle Ups

I've been trying to do muscle ups lately, but I can't seem to get it. Are there any exercises to help perform muscle ups.

I would say that medium to wide grip pull ups and also medium to wide spaced dips/push ups would strengthen the primary muscles.  This is a bit of a power exercise requiring a transition point and I think one would have to pay attention that you don't favor a side when changing from the pull to the push by dropping one shoulder/elbow fast and using the stronger side.  If one isn't strong enough for the pull ups you could use a pull down machine until you can get strong enough for pull ups.  If pull ups are fine (can readily get > 8 reps) you can add weight (I liked to use a heavy belt/weight belt/etc and chain some plates to it).  You can also train explosively on pull ups but make sure that you don't explode until your muscles are under load and your elbows are slightly bent and shoulders are contracted.  I think a 4 to 6 rep range on plyometric pull ups would be a good range to train at and increase weight if you can get more than 2 to 3 sets of 6.  This is what works best for my body type though so it can be different for others.  Also on the push ups/dips/other movement you will not need as much explosive power as you will slow controlled power so train that way.
