Kipping Pull Up Print E-mail

The nature of parkour calls for many muscles to work together to maximize power output. When muscles are isolated or improperly synchronized, power, speed, and energy are lost. This is why in parkour, kipping pull ups are more applicable than dead hang pull ups. Kipping pull ups teach the entire body to work together to pull itself up in the fastest way possible. By mastering the kipping pull up, laches, underbars, climbing, and other similar movements will be improved.

I actually imagine this being easier than a deadlift pull-up because of the momentum from the kip-up motion right?

If they are to hard get a huge work out band and loop it around the bar. Stick one foot in. Depending on the strenth of the band, it could take 5-100lb off your body weight. making it easier to pull up. go serch on you tube assisted pull ups, or band pull ups, there should be a vid on how to do it right.

Is there any way I can download these videos to my ipod? I'm entering Job corp soon and most likely wont have access to internet so I figured it'd just be easier to get used to exercises now that I'm starting up free running again...
