Several people in the kettlebell class have decided to work together on a goal to be able to do one or more pull-ups by the time this class is over. I'm excited for them and so glad when people are interested in what else there is to do in the gym. I showed them how to practice kip swings and how to work on pulling strength by putting their feet in the big rubberbands that hang down from the bar and pulling up with its assistance. I've been working on this with my 4 PM CrossFit classes as well. I hope that by practicing both kip swings and sheer pulling, that the pulling strength will develop and the kip will be ready to use.
