Hang Clean 10-8-6;
Kipping pullup 10-8-6
Why We Use the Kip
- Builds core-to-extremity coordination, key to all athletic movement
- Develops shoulder stability and control under tension
- Helps them learn to transfer power—a CrossFit cornerstone
- Encourages grip strength and posture development
How It’s Useful in Real Life:
- Pulling from overhead (think grabbing something from a ledge or beam)
- Reacting to a fall or catching yourself
- Creating momentum in awkward positions (think of climbing or playing with kids)
- Strengthens the lats, core, and scapular stabilizers—key to shoulder health and posture
