my issue was the it felt like the wave starting with my leg movement didn't transfer all the way to my chest. it felt like it would stop right above my hips, so i could never get all the way up using just the momentum.
is this becuase i wasn't throwing my legs and hips hard/fast enough?
Practicing the kipping pull ups in steps helped me out alot!
The part in the video where he tells you to push away from the bar as you come back down to start another kipping pull up also cleared up alot of confusion.
I liked how we broke it into parts, but when i tried to put them all together i had a difficult time. I wasn't able to pull myself up to the bar with enough momentum, which made doing the pull up difficult for me. Using the band did help.
I think somebody greased the pull up bar I was using because neither me or my group could seem to stay up there, we kept sliding off! I don't know...I shouldn't blame the greasy bar, I probably just need more practice.
I think the most difficult part is the rhythm, but once you get into rhythm and get some momentum then it isn't too bad. The butterfly pull ups were the hardest to get the rhythm for, but with practice it will come easier.
I thought that the butterfly pull ups helped out alot with keeping your momentum so you can maximize your efforts with using less energy then regular pull ups. With Practice i think they would be great to do more often.
Breaking down the exercise helped me out a lot but I still wasn’t able to get the entire rhythm correct. Then when we put the bands on, I was able to get the rhythm going more smoothly and it gave me a better sense of the pull up in general. I still think I need more practice before I’m able to do it on my own.
I didn't get to practice in time to practice this exercise with the team but I think that the kicking will make it easier for me to start trying to do the pull ups with less assistance from the rubberband or someone spotting me. -Leah Evans
I had a tough time finding my rhythm and getting started. Apparently I looked like a fish trying to swim upstream unsuccessfully, but other than that I felt like I had it.
I think the kipping pull ups actually help form and rhythm perfectly. The hard part is getting the rhythm down, and once that is perfected along with technique, everything basically falls in place. I improved my head back legs forward/legs back head forward technique from last time. The butterfly pull ups are a challenge, but with practice I think it'll work out and then I can make it look as easy as Jeremy does, and if I add like 200 lbs more of muscle.
These guys are dudes, real good instructional video and they show you a ton of good stuff. Easier to do when you don't swing as much, get more control. Thanks Jeremy for puttin this up.
These pull ups weren't so bad at all. It is just about getting down the rhythm to get up to the bar, and once you get the rhythm done they aren't so bad.
Welcome to the UIW Swimming and Diving Blog. Here you will be given workouts over the summer in order to prepare you for the upcoming season. You will have a general and specific set of exercise to warm up with before each WOD (workout of the day). These exercises are layed out below. These are aimed at preparing your body for the WOD and more are more exercises that are more specific to swimming and diving. There will be form time to time WOD that have nothing to do with swimming and diving directly but will improve your strength, stability and balance in other areas that in the end, will make you better at your event. You MUST post the results of your WOD in the comment section for that day. If you do not, your workout will not count. Good luck!!!

I really need to work on the swinging motion that prepares/helps you when doing a pull-up,and just my upper body strength in general.

ReplyDeleteKeeping rhythm on the kipping pullups is the hardest part. I also just need to get stronger in my upper body for these to come easier.

The hardest thing for me was going from the rythm of doing it one at a time to doing it fast
ReplyDeleteMy grip sucks, which made it harder for me to keep everything together.
ReplyDeletei got everything but getting a good rythm especially on the butterfly pull up's, sorry i was a day late i forgot until i looked up the wod today.
ReplyDeletein class during practice but I worked out on my own and it was hard keeping my back in line during the dead lifts.
ReplyDeleteI think I am finally getting the swinging motion, but I'm really having a hard time with the actual pull up/kicking part.
ReplyDeletei was working on my photograhpy pictures during this practice
ReplyDeleteI wasn't able to do the pull-ups, but the exercise on the ground I'm sure it helped though.
ReplyDeleteSquats were fun. I'm starting to like them more....since it's one of the things that I CAN do.
I was able to get the swing down but hard time getting technice completely right.
ReplyDeleteDef a hard concept to get. I did however like the butterfly pull up and hope to work more on that.

I like these pullups better i am better at them than normal ones and they really work me out
