The WOD Life presents arguably one of the best guides for Kipping Pull Ups in CrossFit.  Jason Khalipa from NorCal CrossFit is back again to provide a step-by-step guide for building up to a Kipping Pull Up.

Key Take Aways:

1. Learn each separate part of the movement individually, building your way up.

2. Throughout the movement focus on “popping” with your hips, rather than “pulling” with your arms.

3. Learn to use your hips, keep those shoulders “active”.

4. Ensure you always have control of your body position throughout the movement.

5.  Once you have mastered a single kipping pull up, work towards inter-linking. Push off the bar, keep your feet in front and “pop” with those hips!

We hope this video helps you continue to progress with your pull ups, one of the foundation movements in CrossFit. Whether you are an expert or a novice, you can always learn to improve the efficiency of your pull ups!
