Kipping Pull Up Progression

In this progression Carl breaks down the Kipping Pull Up on the bar by building on the the Bar Kip to assist Pull Ups and to make them quicker. It's important to take the time to practice this skill, especially the transition from the Kip to the Pull Up, and then from the push down back into the Kip. Transitions are where much of the magic happens, and often where most of the faults occur!

Bar Kip Progression

In this progression Carl breaks down the kip (or tap swing) on the bar as a lead in to other skills. It's important to focus on maintaining tension throughout the entire body and bow by switching between a globally flexed (hollow body) or globally extended (superman) position without breaking or bending locally to lose power or cause any stress.
