SKILL WORK – Kipping (pull up Progression)
Skills
Kipping – Kipping Pull up Progressions
* We want to have upwards of 5/3+ STRICT Pull Ups before we utilize kipping for conditioning to make sure your shoulder girdle is strong enough to handle the dynamic impact of kipping for conditioning.
*The KIP – is initiated and CONTROLLED by the upper body.
Lets see if we can hit some static/holding positions in the beginning of the kip.
1: 2 x 5 Shoulder retractions with a 2 second hold at top
2: 2 x 3 Static holds Open shoulder in the Arc Position (hold for 1-2 seconds each hold) (pulling under the bar and holding, feet together, butt squeezed)
3: 2 x 3 Static holds Closed shoulder in Hollow body position (hold for 1-2 seconds each hold) (pushing the bar away, feet together, stomach firing)
4: 2 x 3 Push-Pull on bar hitting each static position and holding for a heart beat
5: 2 x 3 Push-Pull, no pauses but Maintaining control
– Thats it – Just working on the cleaning up the beginning pieces of the Kip. Not looking for a full kipping pull up today in this.
