Lift your body up how?

Push it up from the ground? Pull it up to a bar? What are you talking about?

I agree.

Did you have something in mind aside from that?

Unless you are meaning that your bodyweight doesn't allow you to hold yourself up, but that hasn't been said so yea....

You want to work on pushing strength then.

Push ups, planche progression, handstands/handstand push ups, one arm push ups. All that good stuff

But if you want to be able to climb over walls, thats where you need to be able to do muscle ups. So pull ups and variations would help with that.
