Skin the Cat

Also known as: Ring Skin the Cat, Pull-Up Bar Skin the Cat, Inverted Shoulder Rotation

How to do the Skin the Cat

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

Movement: Pull legs up and back through the arms, rotating the shoulders and body backward until you reach a fully inverted position. Reverse the movement to return to the starting position under control.

Standards:

  • Controlled rotation through full range
  • Shoulders pass through rings/bar safely
  • Return to full arm extension at bottom

Focus Points: Engage core and shoulders, control rotation, avoid swinging, maintain smooth, continuous motion.
