Strict Before Kipping

Master the strict variations of gymnastics movements prior to performing their kipping counterparts.

CrossFit utilizes kipping variations of gymnastics movements because of their ability to maximize power output and performance in conditioning workouts. In essence, we can complete more reps consecutively and finish our workouts faster, in addition to the added benefit of full body coordination, to achieve a task. However, it must be reinforced that we absolutely recommend mastering the strict variations of gymnastics elements prior to performing their kipping counterparts.

Does that mean athletes who can currently perform a movement like a kipping handstand push-up should discontinue performing them until demonstrating capacity at strict handstand push-ups? Well … yes — at least as part of moderate to high-volume conditioning workouts. If the urge is still there to perform the kipping movements, these athletes may still practice the kipping as part of the specific warm-up as long as they demonstrate control on the movement’s eccentric (negative) phase.

This might be a little disappointing for some of your athletes and hard for coaches to enforce, however, as stated in the CrossFit Journal article “Stand Before You Walk: Gymnastics Foundations”: “When we require a baseline of prerequisite strength for body-weight movement and capacity in strict requirements, we create a culture of excellence within our boxes.”

The recommendation for developing a strict movement before kipping is primarily for safety as well as long-term performance gains. https://t.co/wYyvcgwpfa

Rishi Sunak has apparently been warning that the costs of vaccine schemes into the future will need to be funded by cuts elsewhere to public services.

Well here's an alternative: a 10% tax on wealth over £100m would raise £69 BILLION. It's time to tax the super-rich!
