So when checking Im on the same wave length as other coaches around the world heres a statement from CrossFit Invictus head coach CJ martin coach to Josh bridges, camille leblanc-bazinet and kristin holte to name a few Always learn the strict movement before the kipping, even though strict movements are usually much harder to achieve. Why are strict reps important? Being able to do them ensures that your shoulders have the strength base necessary to support kipping pull-ups. Since there is no momentum involved, you are relying on your shoulder muscles to move the load (in this case, you) versus the inertia you create by kipping. Working towards your first kipping pull-up without a strength base (even with bands) can do some serious damage if you aren’t at your strongest. Nobody wants a torn rotator cuff, labrum, biceps, slap tear, or shoulder dislocation because they cut corners to kip. It is recommended by Invictus that men be able to perform six unbroken strict pull-ups and for women, three unbroken strict pull-ups, before they attempt kipping. Want to make the jump from kipping to butterfly pull-ups or chest-to-bar? Shoot for 15-20 perfect, unbroken kipping-pull-ups first. Eyeing those bar and ring muscle-ups? Make those 15-20 pull-ups chest-to-bar and then a strict muscle-up! Those are just our recommendations and we realize that we can’t stop you from practicing and wanting to achieve the next level but we can recommend that you continue to follow your progressions until you get there.

CrossFit Bournemouth Family from the weekend, love the guys that made the journey to support us made it easier looking up and seeing all your faces when we had to dig in deep during some of the WODs. Those of you that have done this in the past and present as athletes its always so nice to see a friendly face when you've giving your all in a WOD to have someone say well done. You give your time up to travel to an event to watch, which means the world to us and makes us push that much harder. So I thank you all for the support you have given Athletes when they are competing.
