Kipping Core Work then Pushups, V-Ups and Pullups

This is the best tutorial I found on the kipping pullup and this is the best tutorial I have seen on bar muscle ups and how to use the core to get the kip.

Part A: For time:  200 Double Unders,

Part B: Then 30 seconds for 10 minutes do 20 seconds alternating each of the following:

  • Hollow Hold with PVC bar in hands
  • Superman Hold with PVC bar in hands

Hold the PVC pipe as if you are hanging from a pullup bar.  Arms locked out overhead the whole time you are holding.

Part C:  Finally an AMRAP in 10 minutes:

  • 15 x Pushups
  • 10 x V-Ups
  • 5 x Strict (or kipping if you want to practice) Pullups

Results: New PR for Double Unders, 106 unbroken in around 58 seconds. All 200 in 2:40.  For the AMRAP did 6 rounds plus 15 Pushups, 10 V-Ups.

Dips and Pushups then DUs, Snatches and T2B

Every 3 minutes for 5 rounds:

Then perform AMRAP in 20 minutes of the following with rep scheme per round as shown:

  • 100-80-60-40-20 Double Unders
  • 50-40-30-20-10 Dumbbell Snatches (each hand is a rep, so in round one do 25 reps per hand) @ 20kg
  • 25-20-15-10-5 Toes to Bar

Results:  The first part worked really well.  3 minutes seems like a long time but the last round of pushups was very hard.  Go heavy with the dips and full range of motion since it is only 3 reps.   This will also give everyone time to check their messages between sets ;-).

For the second part did 2 full rounds plus 60 DUs, 30 Snatches and 3 T2B.  So total… 100-80-60 DUs, 50-40-30 Snatches and 25-20-3 T2B.  Also really hard.

Cleans and Squats, then DUs, Kettlebell Swings and T2B

Every 2 minutes for 20 Minutes do:

  • 1 x Clean
  • 1 x Hanging Clean
  • 1 x Front Squat

Then complete 3 rounds for time of:

  • 100 x Double Unders
  • 21 x Kettlebell Swings
  • 12 x Strict Toes to Bar

Results:  For the first part used 60Kg (warmed up with 3 x each at 40kg). For the second part, 11:48.
