Learning the Basic Movements of CrossFit

I'll be posting some instructional videos for my new guys that are still learning to master the kipping pullup and other signature CrossFit exercises.

"Short version: Kipping allows more work to be done in less time, thus increasing power output. It is also a full-body coordination movement when performed correctly, which applies more functionally to real-life application of pulling skills. Last, but not least, the hip motion of an effective kip mirrors the motion of the olympic lifts/kettlebell swings, adding to it's function as a posterior-chain developer."
