Kipping Pullup / Chinup

[daley1234]

the reason its seen as cheating is due to the swinging of the legs causing momentum? is it possible to create a power movement without the additional use of legs just by pulling more powerfully/faster? this would be a more valid variation

@daley1234 Momentum does not equal cheating. It's a totally different exercise than strict pullups or chinups. Power cleans are not a cheated version of a reverse curl. 1/4 jump squats are not a cheated version of deep squats. They are just different exercises altogether.

Even if one could pull very fast with just the arms / lats it would still be faster (and more work would be done in less time -->greater power output) if leg movement was involved.

@daley1234 Add to this that in many activities like swimming, gymnastics, and pole vaulting, an athlete must be able to pull while using the core for assistance it makes it a perfectly valid exercise.
