Today was an “easy” day. A simple strength test of a basic gymnastic movement and gauge of where your pull-ups really are. While you can kip without a dead hang pull-up, the goal should be to have strong dead hangs before kipping. This was a checkpoint to see how strong you are at pulling your bodyweight or more. Want a stronger kipping pull-up? Practice these.
