How To Do Toes To Bar (WODprep Tutorial)

This video explains a simple progression to help athletes develop their kipping toes to bar. This is a great exercise to work your abs, lats, shoulders, and grip!

Here is the 4-step progression to mastering toes to bar as shown in the video:

Step 1: Kip Levers - remember to stay tight and control that kip swing!
Learn how to activate your lats here, this is super important for toes to bar.
Step 2: Begin to add in a lift of the knees on each rep
Aim to re-establish the kip after each on by pulling back through.
Step 3: Get your knees as high as possible
Use a more aggressive kip and bring your knees right into your chest if you can, while still maintaining that solid kip.
Step 4: Add a ‘flick’ of your feet to touch the bar. The tricky part here is often how to get back into the next rep once your feet have touched so make sure to watch the video to find out how.

Everything you said at the beginning described my TTB technique 😂😂 thank you for the video. It’s going to help me improve.

Straight to the point and effective. I wish more videos were like this, instead being bloated with excess verbiage from people who just like to hear themselves talk.

I attended a wod session at my local CrossFit and I literally looked like an idiot trying to do these. The people I asked for help seemed to not know how to explained it, so when I would finish I would miss out on doing my cleans. This video helped so much. Thanks.

This helped me a lot! I started CrossFit about 2 months ago and in doing a lot of accommodations to build up muscles for things like toes to bar. It is good to see the visual buildup and be able to watch the video several times my coaches model for me but then when I am practicing I forget the visuals.
