The Kipping Chest-to-Bar Pull-Up

“Kipping comes in a myriad of styles, and each athlete has a signature kip, but in its most elegant form the kip is a transference of movement first generated in the horizontal plane, where it comes cheap and easy, to the vertical plane, where momentum and a perfectly timed pull from the back launch the athlete forcefully upward.”

— Greg Glassman, Kipping Pull-ups, The CrossFit Journal, 2005.
