@youthcenterdream I can try! Chin-ups haven’t been a part of our programming, so I’m very inexperienced with them and I don’t have the requisite strength. Actually had them for the first time ever Tuesday and it didn’t go well for me. Funny, after Tuesday, I mentally put them on my 2024 get better list!

Can you kip a chin up?

 

[youthcenterdream]

@jck64 Yes, if you have the shoulder mobility and strength. If either of those are an issue for you, perhaps don’t.

 

[matth2d]

@jck64 You can kip or butterfly chin-up grip pull-ups or chest-to-bars with relative ease. They’re much easier than kipping or butterflying regular pull-ups.

 

[april78chastity]

@youthcenterdream I was gonna say, just do strict c2b using the chin-up grip. As long as your chest is touching the bar, it counts!

 

[marissa777]

@jck64 I hope you get a C2B!!

 

[jck64]

@marissa777 Thank you!

 

[calvinsays]

@jck64 The BMUs are way harder than CTBs!

 

[jck64]

@calvinsays No shit, LOL!

 

[anglocatholicshrops]

@calvinsays I find C2B harder than muscle ups

 

[crystalplant]

@anglocatholicshrops Me too

 

[californio]

@jck64 Perhaps banded as a scale option for the scale option.

 

[notaprov31woman]

@jck64 I don't have pull-ups and I don't have chest to bars. I went to the gym yesterday and found I could kip up to my chest, but couldn't actually touch my chest to the bar.
For context I'm 45th percentile for my age group (50-54). I was able to Rx the first two workouts.
Should I do the scaled version as it will allow me to do all the movements?
Or should I do thrusters and spend the rest of the time attempting chest to bars? Is there a CrossFit gym etiquette for this?

 

[adam56]

@jck64 You can do singles if its too hard

 

[jck64]

@adam56 I haven’t gotten a single yet.

 

[casimiro]

@jck64 If the rules allow - do underarm pull-ups. Easy to get CTB with these.

 

[patrick1975]

@cnghello Fuck all the way off

Edit to add : I can't even do a pull up so if that's the scaled them I'm fecked

 

[iamsue]

@patrick1975 Same

 

[mammie5]

@patrick1975 Same here

 

[lex123]

@patrick1975 The scaling option is insane. It doesn’t track AT ALL.

 

[spazmoidfry]

@lex123 What doesn't track?

A jumping C2B is an easier version of a C2B.

A regular Chin-over-bar pull-up is an easier version of a BMU, but harder than a jumping C2B.

Lighter weight on the thruster.

If that's still out of reach, try Foundations.
