A place to talk about fitness and health on Farcaster.

people keep shitting on those kipping crossfit pull ups but let me tell you - it’s a gymnastics skill and it’s HARD (and I can’t do it)

damaged my rotator cuff doing them many years ago, since then have stuck to strict pull-ups

Gymnastics skills are tough cause they're different target muscles.

It's 20% technique and 80% mental, you def got this!

ughhh thank you!!! my body is fighting my mind and I can’t get them to talk to each other 😫

You're fighting your own momentum too hard (wasting energy). You totally got this cause it's evident you have the strength 🔥

Gymnastics and CrossFit fanatic here.
Have to point out that Christopher Summers (ex head Olympic coach of the US Olympic team) integrated kipping pull-ups only as a training tool for a proper pull up for his athletes.
Was not meant to be a stand alone exercise in the way CrossFit integrated it in their competitive sports arena.

its so f'ing hard, I still can't do them on a regular pull up bar
