MOVEMENT TIP: The Kipping Bar Muscle-up
Like the kipping Pull-Up, the Kipping Bar Muscle-Up is easier to achieve than the Strict Muscle-Up as it uses momentum to help throw your bodyweight up and over the bar. CrossFit Seminar Staff member James Hobart demonstrates the kipping bar muscle-up in this video.
Just like with other kipping movements, we do caution you to build strength and flexibility in the upper body to reduce the stress on the shoulders and upper back before working on the Kipping Bar Muscle-Up.
