@girdyourloins How much are you swinging/kipping? I've been doing many of the exercises you mentioned and have been trying to do a strict muscle up. Watched some videos yesterday and basically everyone is at least swinging their legs/body. So maybe I had the technique wrong this whole time?
@jasmine211 I've still got a kip! But, I'm working really hard to make my reps as strict as possible, especially when doing my technique work with the bands.
As my weighted chin-up and weighted dip numbers go up, the less kippy they look and feel!
I think whenever we're trying to achieve our first of something, it might not be a strictest or sexiest as we'd like it to be, but the stronger we become and the more we refine the skill the more strict they will become!
I follow a lot of female athletes over in the Netherlands, and they are strong AF! The street-lifting scene is really taking off there. Nadine Hettinga was my inspiration for achieving my first muscle up! She's amazingly strong!
