how to get up on kip without pushing off the mat under you, bending your legs, or bending your arms?!! lol those are good ways to cheat it I guess. lol :D How did you guys get your kip?

Some tips: Make sure your jump to the bar is good, glide far, then bring your ankles to the bar, then pull up On my team we did a lot of conditioning to learn it, and drop kips and practicing the glide swing part of it, and also practicing it with spot. The conditioning: lots of v-ups, when standing holding a weight down with arms down and then lifting it up over your head with straight arms, and planches, planches with those floor roller things too (Big 5 has them). Actually, that's like conditioning you do in the later levels too lol, but those should help your kip!

drop kips and v-ups are really good to help you get your kip better.

got my kip good!! yay!! :D

yay! good job!
