Kipping Pull-Up

Also known as: Kip Pull-Up, Kipping Chin-Up, Pull-Up With Kip

How to do the Kipping Pull-Up

Setup: Hang from a pull-up bar with hands shoulder-width apart, arms fully extended, shoulders active, core engaged.

Movement: Generate momentum using a controlled kip, then pull your chin over the bar. Lower yourself back to full extension under control.

Standards:

  • Chin clears the bar at top
  • Full arm extension at bottom
  • Fluid, continuous motion

Focus Points: Engage lats and core, coordinate hip drive with pull, maintain rhythm and control, avoid excessive swinging.
