Strictly Speaking
We almost never practice strict pull-ups so I was interested in seeing how many people could do today. I’m curious, what is your ratio of max kipping to max strict pull-ups? Mine was about 2 to 1. Did that hold true for everyone else?
It was nice to do some strength work today. It’s been a little while since we’ve had heavy deadlifts be the focus. There’ll be some more strength days later this week. I’m looking forward to it.
Max strict pull-ups
5×3 Deadlifts
Im not sure about the kipping pull ups. I dont think I could get 40 (double strict) with the kip. It seems i lose technique after about eighteen (kips) and start flailing all over the place. Seeing my posture in the backround of todays pic I wonder..will I ever be able to straighten my arms?
I grew up on the dead hang pull up. The kip is still a relatively new movement for me. I will be working on the kipping swing and pushing away at the top.
I feel a little different about the strict pull up. I was never able to do any pull-ups prior to CF, so the kip was a very helpful thing to work on building thoes muscles. That being said my ratio is closer to 4 to 1. Witch I feel is a positive testament to the kips function.
