KIPPING PULL UPS
By
CPC now has our own official gang sign! Thanks Shoham!
It’s been a big 2 weeks here at CPC folks! Not only did we have our first gloriously successful 5K run, but we’ve also had some serious kipping going on! Like Roger Bannister before her, Kjersti started the ball rolling with her first kipping pull up a little while back. This has now lead to Lisa E. getting her first kipping pull up and not to be outdone, the guys stepped up with Brent, Justin and Sam getting kipping pull ups of their own! Christina is just a step away after last night’s workout and I’m sure she will be busting out a few of her own very soon. The kipping pull up is a huge milestone here at CrossFit as it allows you to perform the majority of the workouts in a much faster manner, and takes a combination of coordination and strength to do correctly. Congratulations to all of you new kippers!

Claw’s right. During heated negotiations, I’ve been known to kip from a chandelier or bust into a handstand pushup. Usually smooth sailing after that.
The hardwork that we’ve seen you guys put in has resulted in some serious advancements in relatively short periods of time. I can’t think of anything cooler to see than somebody’s reaction after their first kipping pullup (maybe a muscle up). Keep it up everybody!!!
