Just got my first kipping hspu (and second, third, fourth) after watching this video! I could do strict, but was stuck on kipping until I watched this. Thank you!
The fault I find most common is falling off the wall. So the hand positioning is important but also remember to spread your knees apart while on the way down. I used to attempt to do it with my knees together and I kept falling away from the wall. Great video thanks for putting this out.
started crossfit less than 3 months ago. this is one of the best vids I've seen. thanks! i'll be checking out some more vids tyring to learn all the move.
The “shallow kick” method isn’t necessarily wrong. Yes, it generates less power than the full tuck variation, and therefore requires more shoulder strength, but for more advanced athletes, it can allow them to cycle reps faster, spending less time under tension. It can also make balancing a bit easier, similar to a knees-to-elbows in a headstand versus a tuck hollow with your knees in your chest, by not moving into spinal flexion.
I would love to learn this skill this year. I will take your tips to my next practice session. Thanks, your videos are always informative and encouraging.
Thanks for the info. Just started working on my hand stand holds and want to start practicing the HSPU. Great info. My biggest mistake is definitely being too close to the wall.
Thanks, this is awesome. Just one thing maybe is a bit misleading: knees to the chest. You are not doing knees to the chest in your video, you are actually doing it more efficiently: knees are going sideways. That would help to keep spine straight and then kick straight up. Knees to the chest would cause spine to bend and then you would need to get it back straight again before kicking.
I do almost all of them! My hands are too close, I half lip, and I tend to lip into the wall. Resultantly, I fall off the wall. Thanks for the great tips!
I did both of kicking..out, at first...and now little bit more in...so too much in... lol...but i getting it...little by little...only two month doing crossfit...;-)
Good evening WODprep, every time I try to do the kipping HSPU I feel very dizzy till the point I want to vomit. I don´t know if it´s the neck position, breathing technique or just a personal issue. That´s why I kept doing the strict ones since I started crossfit,.
totally agree, kipping pull-ups, kipping ring-dips, kipping HSPU are all bad, but if you want to compete in CF that is what you have to do. A long time ago there were no kipping in CF in these movements except pull-ups, then someone got smart in order to maximize their score and everyone followed. If you look at recent Glassman videos you can almost see him to regret introducing kipping.

Thanx man it was very helpfully video
Thnx
Thanks a lot man.
great advice man
Great videos! Thank you! 🙏🏽
Thanks for the great advice :D
When you bringing legs down to prep for the kip, should your legs be together or spread apart? I have heard justifications for both.
Enlightening! 👏👏👏
Thanks, man! Great tips!
I like the way u explain all with details, !! I do better my Hspu !!!!
hand positioning but specifically how far away from each other my hands should be and the rotation of my hands
Good evening WODprep, every time I try to do the kipping HSPU I feel very dizzy till the point I want to vomit. I don´t know if it´s the neck position, breathing technique or just a personal issue. That´s why I kept doing the strict ones since I started crossfit,.
The problem for me is that I can’t really navigate when Im upside down so the kicks go wrong.

20.3 👋
thats my mistake kicking into the wall try to fix it :)
Biggest mistake is doing kipping handstand pushups.
Kipping is useless . Better do strict easier versions
Who else is here for 20.3?
There is only one mistake to the kipping HSPU - it exists.
The biggest mistake is the kipping!
Athletes do not kip, losers do. Fix your handstand push-ups by working hard on your form and muscles instead of kicking up like an electrified zombie.
+BisKit the Cat we do get the you are a bunch of morons, we are just pushing you to become real athletes.
Oh look we found the sanctimonious idiot. 😂😂😜😜
The biggest mistake is the idea of a kipping push up against a wall.
The good name is WABFKHPU for Wall Assisted Bad Form Kipping Hanstand Push Up
flashLogic lol
I wanted to say the biggest mistake is kipping lol 😂 why do they use such form
