Gymnastic Pulling Class 2- Refining and Chaining Kipping Pullups, or: How I Stopped Worrying and Learned to Love the Hipdrive.

Our second gymnastic seminar is just around the corner, on August 13th! In our first session we covered how to drive with our hips to help our arms complete a kipping pullup. For our second session we will be focusing on developing that hip drive to be more effective for our kipping pullups, and advancing to a more full body drive starting from the toes and progressing through the hips. Finding the optimal balance between tension and relaxation, rigidity and flexibility, is the final key to a perfect kip.

What do we need to get the most out of this class? At least one Kipping Pullup, either unassisted or with just one red band.

If we’re still working on that skill, I recommend the following work:

2-3x a week, 8 min EMOM

  3 beat swings

  1 pullup

  3 beat swings

  1 pullup

  Do your best to blur the line between the 3rd beat swing and pullup for each set.

Open Gym will be canceled that Saturday, August 13th

Registration is now open on Wodify!
