I saw a lot of tutorials about kipping pull up and this is the only one correctly explained. Thank you very much!

Thanks a lot for the very detailed tutorial on kipping pull ups.

I've been suffering during WODs trying to do strict pull ups which wear you out too quickly during an AMRAP with more than 10 pullups a round.

Very helpful video on kipping a pull up. To the kipping naysayers - I'm doing these at age 62 gaining great conditioning from them and thanks to videos like this one I'm injury free. Thanks again!

You did a great job explain what open and closed hips means. I hear it all the time at the gym but never really understood it. Thank you very much!

Been searching kipping pull up videos. This is by far the best ive watched out of 10+ different videos. Well done 🔥

Great tips Jackie! Thank you so much for such effective instructions to properly do kipping pull ups. I will be able to initiative those techniques to my CrossFit training.

These are questions - not criticism:
1 Appears to be using momentum rather than the strength of a regular pull-up.
2 Looks dangerous for shoulder injury.

Thanks

Jaci, great videos! You’re instructions are very easy to understand and I like how you break apart each movement. Thank you!

[Dixsilence]

I always end straight down and never use my shoulders. Now I see, thanks!

[tiagomendes]

Great tutorial. KPU is an efficient way to move and has its place on movement training, while strict pull ups have a role in muscle building. They are different and dont replace one another per se.

[fcaetanf]

Amazing, excelent explanation with objective and adequate technic. Congratulations

[SaraSolomon]

Jaci, I watched your tutorial a few times, and was able to finally get the kipping pull up. Thanks for sharing your expertise!

[vijitnayak]

[sofoklisman]

great stuff...especially the part where you explain why we fail when instead of pushing the bar we just fall down and the kipping dies right over there!!subded

[radekgorzaka]

Thank You so much! Greetings from Poland. Now, I understand this exercise :).
