How to Do a Kipping Pullup
Kipping pull-ups differ from normal deadweight pull-ups, as they use full-body movement and momentum to make each pull-up easier. While kipping pull-ups require less shoulder, arm and upper-back strength, they have the benefit of working many more muscle groups. When properly executed, kipping pull-ups can work your entire torso and legs, and give a cardio workout. To get the most out of this exercise, you must understand how to perform the proper movements.
