Mastering Bar Movements with Kipping Chest To Bar Pull-Ups

Before you read on, if you don’t have your strict chest to bar pull up, you want to get that first. It is important you can do that before learning the kipping variation so that you don’t injure yourself. Plus, if you have a strict chest to bar, kipping will be far much easier.

With the Open coming up, we have to talk about Chest to Bar Pull-Ups. Last year in 18.5, they were paired with Thrusters which is a very tough combination on your grip, shoulders, and lungs. I feel the fatigue of my legs from the Thrusters when I am doing my Chest to Bar Pull-Ups. This is because along with my upper body, I do my best to recruit my lower body as well to be as efficient as possible. The more muscles I can get involved in a movement, the better. With that being said, it is important to note that everything is working together which is a skill that is acquired with practice.

Being more efficient at Chest to Bars for a workout like 18.5 is a must if you want to do well. Many people practice Chest to Bars during workouts but complain about their timing being off and being unable to string them together. It's a skill you must master fresh before you will be able to do it under fatigue. It is important to practice Kipping Chest to Bar Pull-Ups in and out of the workouts if you want to perfect them. So take the time and focus on the small details for this movement and it'll certainly come in handy!
