Kipping Pull-Up Tutorial

[animewacko666]

MY BROTHER CRAZY

[footyfarid19]

ive never actually done these kipping ones, i struggle with regurlar pull ups but i can do chin ups. im going to give these a go, cos they will help with power too

[JordanliamMcguire]

if any of got the cheeky giggles after noticing the '69' views... Then thumbs up!

[pam0077]

Why would i want to be tutored on the weakest way to strength train?

If you want to get stronger on the pull-up, do a real pull-up.

If you want to do explosive, systemic, neuro-charged training, the most effective exercise is the power clean.

Put together, they're far superior than this kipping on the swingset BS.

[JeremeSanders]

@pam0077 I think when it actually comes to getting over stuff, like a bar or something having a grasp of the kip technique and doing a kipping MU is going to help you a lot more than trying to do a strict PU into a MU so for Parkour anyway in my opinion a kip is a valid technique for overcoming obstacles, so it doesn't necessarily mean you should throw it out, I also feel it's a good progression for people that have trouble with doing lots of dead hang PU

[SDWarrior227]

I think my dog can do better pullups than those.

[g0rdian]

Great tutorial! I'm trying to get a custom Goole Map started with outdoor, publicly accesible pull-up stations. If you can map some that would be great! Here's the map: tinyurl/pullup-bars!

[wafflecushioned]

At first I thought he was trying to move the bar.

[paxvobiscum5]

I finally did my first Kipping Pullups today after months of Crossfit. SOOOO STOKED!

[tarnas14]

yeah, plz post the name of the song :D it's badass :D

[89922288]

good tutorial thx!

name of the song?

[lisaking22]

@89922288 the song's witness by roots manuva

[shenkeey]

Nice tutorial, you look like an epileptic dolphin without water though

[13andincrediblycut]

i can do 73 pull ups with out kipping FROM dead hang and im only 13 200lbs of solid muscle and 6'4" :)

[RhythmHappy]

@13andincrediblycut wow man your really cool! its good that you posted that or else people on the internet might have thought you weren't cool or something l0olz!!

[JamieLMacD]

It is apples and oranges - the difference between a strict, dead-hang PU and a kipping one - except when Crossfit cultists try to pass off their kipping version as being equivalent as a strength measure to the strict form, which it obviously isn't. In that instance, strength training jocks regard the kipping PU as counterfeit and the Crossfit jocks as frauds. I want to bitchslap guys who knock off a mere ten kipping PU's and strut about afterwards thinking they are he-men.

[MusicLifeG]

haha...

thats not a pull-up, thats what called swinging!

[Puresoul93]

do these do anything at all, swinging just makes it easier on your arms right?

[halospartan12117]

What is the song?

[jmpfixer]

just do regular pullups. they do more for your arms, back, and triceps. why would you do pullups to work on your abs?

[randomneepo]

@jmpfixer If your progressing for muscle up this really helps to get the technique...

[jmpfixer]

@randomneepo i doubt it

[randomneepo]

@jmpfixer I personally learnt muscle up with this kipping technique. Doubt it or not, it's fact that it's the same move you need for muscle up. Unless your practicing the strict form of it.

OneAngryAsian said it all. :)

[maxypooh15]

@jmpfixer Try doing these they are just as hard and i have seen more results doing these

[titandown]

@maxypooh15 they arent hard...

[maxypooh15]

@titandown Every exercise is hard when you do them to failure

[titandown]

@maxypooh15 what do you mean by "to failure"

[maxypooh15]

@titandown until you cant do them anymore. In most crossfit workouts you start off doing the exercise easy... but by your 2nd or 3rd round you are exhausted and the exercise is very hard. Kipping is good, but most people dont know that these are really hard when you do alot and especially when paired with thrusters or pushups.

[titandown]

@jmpfixer everything uses core

[Incredibleman100]

is this easier than the normal pull up?

[devnullgnu]

Kipping pull ups are to regular pull ups as box jumps are to squats. Both have a different purpose. While regular deadhang pull ups build slow, static strength primarily in the upper back, the kipping variation builds explosive strength and is a terrific way to learn hip drive which directly translates to other athletic movements. Since you're using your lower body as well in kipping pull ups, it is also a very good cardiorespiratory workout when done for high volume with speed.

[bartek96lol]

żallll

[curnaldinho]

that looks so stupid...

[Dracula3423]

LOL

[zarnytun]

Lol.. i didnt noe tat there is a name for this technique or someone had invented it.. i started doing tat for my fitness test few years back.. its a nice technique.. i can hardly do 5 b4 i use tat and now i can do 15.. (:

[facetha]

It was originally made for gymasts =))

[kevsenior]

the way i do pull ups is i do as many as i can without stopping , when you're nearly burned out you'll instinctively use your hips any way just to get up to the bar those last few times , keep increasing the number as you get stronger and the number you can do dead hanging will increase too

[b5201]

lol I figured out how to do these on my own, it helps increase reps for fitness testing :D I don't think I'll get away with it in basic training though...

[jvalenz72]

These are definitely the best if you are training for power output and not for pure strength. As others said, it's best to do both, dead hang and kipping pull-ups.

Power equals Work divided by Time.

[TeamVayne]

but usually when you do something slow it gives you strength in what you are working in, if you do it quickly you use momentum and tire yourself out and works your endurance and cardio.

[OneAngryAsian]

One isn't better than the other: they train different things. A strict pullup does train muscle strength, but not explosiveness and total body neuromuscular coordination. A kipping pullup is a full body movement that has more real-world applications (hence gymnasts and traceurs and crossfitters practice them) but the apparent resistance is lighter. Best advice? Variety is key: do both.

[AdamTrinity69]

Dude. While as precise in explanation as you are, you took the words right out of my mouth. Variety is key.

[titandown]

@OneAngryAsian i agree. does full body movement help coordination?

[TheRCat]

training at dead-hang pullups is useful because of the strength gained. increased strength has everyday practical uses in addition to health benefits. if you can do the kip up motion that's good enough for climbing up something. training at them helps you with parkour so it's logical if that's your goal

[resistnzisfutl]

@OneAngryAsian Actually, gymnasts purposefully avoid kipping in their pullups and will actually go as far as doing pullups against a wail in an all-out effort to avoid kipping. You can get more than enough neuromuscular coordination doing traditional deadlifts and squats in a sane range (less than 20 reps), and get the added benefits of increased CNS stimulation and hormone release. This is why crossfit is a joke beyond being an ok cardio workout.

[Flashblastx]

Whats the point of that, your not working the muscle slowly witch is better for you.

[severmine]

one isn't better than the other. you can train pure strength by doing it slow or do it fast to train endurance and power

that's why so many traceurs are so think and wiry, you don't really see body builders go at it, it's not as efficient. gotta have the best of all your muscles capabilities

[eamonob84]

how often in real life do you "slowly" use your muscles? how many competitive athletes run slow? how many boxers slowly throw a punch? how many wrestlers slowly pick their opponent up to throw them? slowly lifting weights in an isolated movement is only for bodybuilding competitions or physical therapy.

[entropyfu]

@eamonob84 when you go slow you cause more microtrauma to the muscles and cause them to grow bigger and stronger. when you go fast like this you improve flexibility, power, but at the expense of strength, since a great deal of force is gained from the swinging momentum. Ones goals would be better determination on what type of a pull-up to train with. (i know crossfitters love kip pullups)

[ubermensch81]

you have obviously never wrestled, or been in any physical activity other than aggressively striking keys on your keyboard to show off your lack of intellect , if that was the goal , you win.

[eamonob84]

i actually have trained jiu jitsu, not wrestling. i love how so many people make the same exact comment on here about everyone else "obviously never having done ___" or "pushing buttons on your keyboard".

[ubermensch81]

well then you should be all to aware of how static strength compliments explosive strength.
